Why do people think it's a good idea for adults age 22-26 to be on the parents' insurance?

Because it doesn't really cost anybody anything. It's a gov't gimmick.

Although I do support most of what you say, I don't see why it is a bad idea to stay on my parents health insurance.

I'm 21, in college, and thank God I am still on it. If I dont get a good job once i graduate, my heath insurance will be shit.

More importantly, why must the Federal Gov't *force* this to be the case? If its part of your private contract, fine.

becasue due to the now 8 years it takes to get a college degree 26 is when you get a job with your own insurance

Are you talking about the Politico article? Politico says this is "popular." With whom? Is there actually polling on the issue?

"Hey, kid do you want something free/your parents to pay for yet another thing?" "YES!" OK, it's popular.

The only people who think this are aged 22-26.

Because new college grads have a 50/50 chance of finding a job right now?

Instead of getting a 9-5 job, you can make up to $1200 per week from twitter. Saved my life. http://t.co/FgeIvkmk

Its popular with 22-26 year olds still on their parents insurance

D6d7e89e2a491e6f3fe74867965c3493_normal @kesgardner U.S.A.

I know how much health insurance costs, and some of it is this requirement that 26 year olds be covered by their parents.

My sister was in school and working and her old company said that she had to have x number of hours a week in order to keep insurance

12:14AM Thu, May 17 2012

Default_profile_1_normal @americanstalker Chicago, IL USA

Then her company cuts all part-timers hours to less than half of what she needs, and loses her insurance. Thank God

Not saying I agree but many health issues begin to crop up in 20s (autoimmune), esp w/girls. It's helpful to have this extra support.

whether he's 5 or 25 how does my son being on MY private ins plan affect you or anyone else since I am the one paying the premiums?
