[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never had work offer health insurance or any benefits. 
18-year old started college in new state as an independent student. He rents a room near college, works, will do his own taxes, registered to vote, got his DL there, bought a car, applied for medicaid and got it.
I don 't know too many parents who have done what I did, but it works for us for several reasons.
I won't touch the 529 if it interferes with him being independent and getting in-state tuition in a year. I will look into that.
I stayed in another state with younger child.[/quote]

So, you can afford college but are scamming the system.  [/quote]

TBF the system is scamming Americans.  We pay more for the same service than any other country in the world.

If the student is declared independent, files their own taxes, then it's not scamming the system.  It doesn't matter if the parent can pay for the health insurance. The student is independent, therefore, the system sees them as independent and can qualify for cheaper health insurance.

Believe me, I would much prefer a simpler system than trying to "play the system".  But, until the government fixes our broken system, people should find legal ways to get cheaper premiums.[/quote]

That is scamming the system as often those parents are paying for college and paying for health care means you are not independent.  There rae no legal ways to get cheaper premiums.[/quote]
