Aren't these the people who we want paying into the system? The young healthy people are the ones we are depending on to pay for the old and infirm. Adding them to a family policy won't generate as much revenue. How does this make sense?

Kids up to age 26 vote and its a low enough age to where people wont make too big of a fuss over it.

It's a new reality created by liberal progressives not unlike the new norm for unemployment, food stamps, government dependency in general.

One can't really answer any of the questions stemming from the ACA in an honest fashion.

Since your 30's are the new 20's then your 20's should still be on your parents

Aren't they indirectly paying into the system via their parents' payments? Maybe that's why.

So young voters will ignore the fact that Obama's economy is why they can't get a job or can't get the job that they want (pay, career field, etc.).

Just a typical liberal mentality of trying to create more dependency while penalizing responsibility.

Please, please, please bring this topic over to the OT. If only for the Lulz!

It's not that their lazy, it's that boomers just fricked everything up for them. It's your fault they live at home and have no job opportunity.

tongue-in-cheek

Idiocy plain and simple. A person at 18 or 21 is considered an adult in all of the fifty states, but the Demons had a great means of selling the ACA to ADULTS make them dependents again with mom and dad paying the bill. They need to pass legislation necessitating being domiciled in the basement to prove that state of affairs to be the fact in truth.
