re: Why are we paying for kids up to the age of 26?

Aren't they indirectly paying into the system via their parents' payments?

In my case, no. My kids were covered under dependents healthcare along with the wife and it didn't affect the cost at all. When they (kids) both got out of the house and past the 21 year-old age limit my insurance didn't go down.

My goodness, post no. 12,000 and I wasted it on Obamacare. I'm a putz.
