Why would I have them pay for health insurance
Uh, because he's an adult? Just because Obamacare made it OK to keep them on your insurance doesn't mean it's a good idea. Are you contributing to his 401(k) on his behalf too?
One of my filthy rich friends sent his kid to {expensive arse private school in TX}. The boy graduated and was moving into an apartment. Both of our families (excluding the boy) were on a vacation in Spain, when the boy called dad to ask which internet plan he should sign up for, at the age of 22/23. Part of being an adult is making a mistake, and learning from it.
Modern women, for the most part, have pushed dependency on our kids, and men do the "it's cheaper to have one additional line on our plan," math to attempt to justify it.
When you're in early adulthood, your mistakes aren't very expensive. Do you want them to wait to learn lessons on how to set up auto bill pay when they have a mortgage and a kid? Downvote away.

Maybe you don’t understand how family plans work for employer-issued medical insurance, but his premiums will be exactly the same if he drops his adult kid. The kid would literally be paying for something his/her parents are paying for regardless.
