My asthmatic/allergic 24 yo daughter is on our plan, and it costs us about $100 more in premiums a month. It’s still cheaper for her to be on our plan because she’s always been a sickly kid, so the list of preexisting conditions would exclude her from decent or inexpensive coverage. Congress should find an affordable way to deal with issues of portability and preexisting conditions, etc., because there are some health insurance issues that definitely need tweaking, IMO.

I agree.
I have grown children that have had health insurance issues.
My comment was based on a conversation I had with my son who has a 20 year old step daughter living with them. His wife told me they didn't place her on their plan because of the cost.
I spoke too soon on this issue which I occasionally do and it usually gets me in trouble.
Since I posted that comment I've heard other stories where the supplemental child's insurance cost was very reasonable.
