(103,856 posts)Those "kids" are part of the young invincibles that are necessary for success, and while covered under Mom-Dad's policies, they are covered, BUT not really "countable" the way they would be if they were on their own coverage. The costs to most of them would be very low too..,maybe less that carrying them on a family plan that;s not the greatest.
The biggest problem I see with the whole things is the NAME..
It should have been called:
Health Insurance Reform Act,
That's really what it IS, but attaching the amorphous Affordable Care Act to it, allows the right wingers to deceive the gullible into believing it is the care itself..and is a "medical plan"..not just a bunch of rules & regs that now govern the wildly irresponsible insurance companies.
Allowing it to be called Obamacare even makes it MORE suspect to them because too many of them are convinced that the ACT is the actual coverage..which it is not and never was planned to be.
It only changes the cost & the required components.. The actual care is still the carrot at the end of the stick ..The stick is still the insurance companies..standing between the patient and the care.
