[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young adults these days are in trouble, not just in the US but in Europe, too. They financially and economically cannot "grow up" as fast as their parents did.

I think just reading the news would answer your question, OP. [/quote]

I agree.  I was livid when this was extended because it think it contributes to the problem of extended adolescence we are seeing in young adults.  22 year olds need to grow up and get a job with insurance and not pussy foot around with multiple unpaid internships, travel, and 5 year degrees.  I know the economy isn't great for job hunting, but I don't think this helps either.  It makes it too easy to slack off and delay growing up to get a real job.   [/quote]I think that's up to these families to decide.  We shouldn't write healthcare policy in order to teach a parenting lesson.[/quote]

+1.  It is not like the law REQUIRES parents to keep kids on the plan, it just allows them too.

This is another one of those inconsistent positions driven by politics.  Here, the law gives them a CHOICE on this issue which is what conservatives say they want - the power to decide what is best for their personal situations.  Yet, they see that as a problem because it gives other families the power to make a choice that they don't agree with.  SMH. [/quote]
