Marguerite Moniot felt frustrated and flummoxed. Despite the many hours she had spent in front of the computer this year reading consumer reviews of health insurance plans offered on the individual market in Virginia, she still did not know what plan was right for her.

They should be allowed to be on their parents insurance or live in their parents basement or eat their parents grub at age 26 they need to grow up and be responsible adults. Of course the D party wants to keep them dependent for their entire lives. Remember that the D’s are the party of slavery

wait, what ? nothing has changed yet. So these kids lost a bunch of IQ points over the last year ? No.
All three examples this writer gave, found their policies and signed up with little trouble.
So the gist of this article is....what ?

So the gist of this article is....what ?

Trump is bad. Must hate Trump.

See the author's LinkedIn profile, referenced above. This isn't a news article. It's leftist, democRAT Party agit-prop.

[Dilbert San Diego]

The gist of the article is that the problems are Trump’s fault, due to his desire to repeal Obamacare. His wanting repeal supposedly created all the problems we see with Obamacare.

Age 26 . . . let me see . . . oh yeah, I was humping freight in the Arizona sun to provide for (including health insurance) my wife and two children.

Cry me a river.

At 26, if they’re not mature and responsible to buy their own health insurance, then, they’re not mature and responsible enough to VOTE.

[TexasCruzin]

How about they go out and get a freaking job?

[ichabod1]

Now they’re all high cost high deductible plans. Who’d a thunk it?

[SkyDancer]

The children are falling off their parents healthcare and the MSMLSD will wail “What about the children?”

[hinckley buzzard]

That is correct. Can you imagine these overgrown children at, say, D-Day, or the siege of Bastogne? Or at home, women working in a defense industry at a second job as a welder after a day as a secretary at the office?

[dblshot]

I didn’t have insurance in my early 30s
But who's going to pay for her birth control?

[ichabod1]

Just like most of the mudzlim male immigrants are ‘children.’

[hinckley buzzard]

She has a problem making decisions. She can’t decide on a husband either.

Are we sure she has decided on a gender?

[Sarah Barracuda]

26 year olds shouldnt be on their mommy and daddy’s plans anyway..GET JOBS and BUY YOUR OWN DAMN INSURANCE..seriously these snowflakes really gotta get out of the basements, see the sunlight, and get JOBS

[dblshot]

So the UI Office of Diversity and Inclusion doesn’t offer their staff health care?

[beergarden]

“How about they go out and get a freaking job?”

It’s like handing a blowtorch to a pyromaniac. They dont have the brain functions for a job. See Bernie Sanders...

[SWAMP-C1PHER]

The real world.......so many people havent a clue what that is.

[Oldexpat]

Get a real job in the real world. Make some money and then support you causes. Right now she is part of the problem.

[McGruff]

...But with Trump administration revisions to the law...

What revisions? As far as I know nothing has changed yet. Thanks to Senator McCain. Grr.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is part and parcel with creating a dependency state. 26 year olds look to stay on their parent’s insurance because they can’t find good jobs. They can’t find good jobs because the economy is an over-regulated, over-taxed mess. Clear away the taxes and regulation, let the economy boom and then 20-something year old kids will find jobs. They will find health insurance that they can afford (if we get rid of the regulation).
