[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]One thing I do think parents who can afford should do is pay for health insurance. [/b]

For the people who said they moved here on their own....student loan expenses and rents have skyrocketed. I the 90s, you could easily rent a room in a group house or apartment for 400 or 500 a month. Now rooms in group houses in dc range from 1200 to 1700. Salaries have stagnated.[/quote]

If the person is on the "open market"/unemployed, sure. If a fairly reasonable employer-sponsored plan is available, then I don't see why the "kid" shouldn't pay it out of their paycheck like everyone else does. We all have to make do with our earnings, and provide the necessities for ourselves.[/quote]

well, then you get into whether or not jobs are actually offering health care as a benefit.  And whether the plan is at all decent.  We had excellent plans 10 years ago.  Now, we pay more and get less.

Health costs is another whole can of worms AND another shitty thing that we are stuck with that wasn't this way just a couple decades ago.

Seriously, our future blows.[/quote]
