"About 2.5 million young people under age 26 are on their parents' insurance now because of the new law. If it were struck down entirely, "2.5 million of them would be thrown off the insurance rolls," said Edwin Kneedler."
I guess they'll have to sell their ipods, ipads and iphones, go out and get a job to pay for their health care. Perhaps they can swing this yet. They can just petition the government that we (the taxpayers) owe them an ipad and iphone instead of health insurance. I guess the OWS crowds will be smaller this summer since they have to go to work now to pay for their health insurance....

As opposed to those who have lost their employer coverage? More people have actually lost health care coverage than have gained it. There are more uninsured than before Obamacare started.
Obamacare is a gigantic disaster if the goal is to increase, not decrease coverage.

That 26 year old coverage provision could be passed all by itself.
that is the legislature’s job to pick and choose.

Kids up to the age of 26 have been able to remain on their parents’ insurance plans for quite a while, long before anyone ever heard of this law.

I’m guessing that 20-25 year olds are too busy paying their student loans (which is mandatory) to have the surplus cash to purchase health insurance. For this age group health insurance is as discretionary purchase. We might consider it foolish, but most aren’t likely to need it.

This is just disgusting. 25-year-olds living in mom’s basement and having medical insurance through her. Say what you want about us Boomers, but we never sank that low.
