re: Why is keeping children on parent's plan till 26 so popular?

quote:

Michael Berry had an expert on his show this evening explaining the details of the new plan, both positives and negatives. Though it is a bit ridiculous, to cover children until they are 26 only makes up about 1% of the costs.

NPR and PBS make up less than 1% of the budget and people moan about throwing that away.

Now explain to me why I should pay for a healthy young person who is too lazy to get a job until they are 26?
