They’re complaining because this is NOT how it’s done elsewhere. If everyone had to pay that, then we’d be fine.
When ObamaCare was first passed, the extended coverage option applied to everyone EXCEPT military. Why is every college-age kid in the nation able to stay on their parents’ insurance except military children? ObamaCare specifically denied this only to military dependents.
That pissed us off.
Now, they’re letting us keep our kids on, but we have to pay what others don’t.
The question we ask is, why does this administration keep singling US out??
We’ll take the hit and pay our due. But we won’t accept being the exception to every friggin’ rule.
Wrong. It depends on how the employer’s insurance is set up.
Where I work, an employee plus spouse pay one premium level. They add a kid (birth to age 26), then they’re going to change to a higher premium level and pay more.
Until 2 years ago, an employee plus spouse paid the same premium as a family with 2 adults and 5 kids. That wasn’t exactly fair, either.
