It doesnt cost anything to keep her on their health plan.

Yes they paid for a phone.

Are all medical services free? Of course they aren’t OP got more out if this than the monthly premium.

Passively leaving an extra adult kid on your work health insurance is not some heavy lift.

So you never have any additional needs outside of an annual well visit? Doubt it.

DP. College kids are not 40+ women. They are not big health care consumers. I doubt most even get an annual well visit.

So, again, speaking for OP and just making assumptions.

The assumptions here are being made by the people literally making sh*t up about OP because they are so triggered by the notion that her parents might not really deserve to celebrate the graduation.

Uh, no. People are asking questions and randos are like "Of course OP never goes to the Dr she's totally healthy" GTFO. That is literally making shit up.

I think OP could.be perfectly correct that her parents did nothing and just want to play pretend but at the same time I at that age would have been able to make the decision to either allow them or not and deal with the consequences. It's really not something we can judge. It's for OP to decide relative to the relationship she wants.

There are only about 20 colleges that give really generous financial aid to middle class and only a handful are within train distance of Washington.

? That is simply not true. Lots of colleges give generous aid packages to great students from middle class backgrounds. Not all of these colleges are prestigious. And anywhere in the continental US is technically within train distance of DC.

Not now but when I was in college? I maybe went to one “well visit” in 4 years of college. I think I had one Pap smear as well w a gynecologist. So maybe 2 Dr appts (both of which would’ve been fully covered by insurance) in 4 years.

Ok, since you are not OP this is again irrelevant. Why are people so insistent on pushing this narrative when OP can't even speak to it?

OP explained they get no money from their parents and people believe they are making some kind of great “gotcha” point that they must actually have expensive things the parents must pay for. THAT is making sh*t up.

You are literally speaking for OP and making assumptions on how many doctors visits she has and how expensive this must be for her family.

Take your own advice.

No, people ask OP then other people keep answering tell us about their own lives. Don't care.

No. because someone has been repeating the mantra for pages that it "does not cost extra" which is not a fact but an opinion.

I’m not pushing any narrative but simply refuting PP’s idea that college students probably need or use more healthcare than a well visit. And why can’t OP “speak to it?” Where’s OP?

Do you not get that it is completely irrelevant to this particular situation? Nobody cares about your situation.

It’s not an opinion that many if not most people don’t pay extra to keep a child on their insurance plan. No one here claimed to know OP’s situation. And OP hasn’t been back to speak for themselves. So people are sharing info that may be relevant.
