One of the questions was about what benefits are most important. The candidate said health insurance because he would be 26 soon and would have to get off his parents' insurance.
I can understand keeping an individual on parents' insurance if they are still in school or don't have a job or have a job without benefits. But you stay on mom and dad's when you have a job with benefits? WTF? And WTF is wrong with parents for letting their kids do that? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to drive, drink, or vote until they are 26 either.
This is probably the first time I have disagreed with you.
1) If it takes waiting for your kid to learn responsibility by getting their own healthcare then you failed as a parent. A kid should know a hell of a lot about responsibility long before graduating HS, let alone entering the work force and getting health coverage.
2) Hate the game not the player. I have no problem with parents keeping their kids on their coverage as a way for allowing their kid to save money and get a better standing in life. This is a financially advantageous decision a family can make, and isn’t that what this whole capitalism thingy is all about?
