on what grounds??? the law says they CAN keep them on till 26, NOT that they HAVE too!!!Another example of government control over personal choice or freedom.
This is a bit of a dangerous precedent when you think about it.
Is it until she graduates high school or past that point? And if they signed a contract with the school last spring, they are going to have to finish paying for the school. But once this twit graduates, she is on her own
Assume she goes to College and stays for a while. No Rachel's Parents Employer gets the pick-up the cost shift, not her parents, but at some point maybe they will feel it aka the UPS drop the spouse scenario, not to mention the changes they have already felt to their co-buy, co-pays, and deductibles.
Tangent to this, her college loans are federalized and she can't now buy a high deductible health care plan, (because of Oboingocare) that used to be offered to College Students as they were a "natural group".
How's dat Hopey-Changey wurkin' for dis Jersey Family....
I seem to think this is already the case - at least requiring insurance companies to offer the coverage to something like 26 as part of the package. If anything, making the parents list her is the new part. But you have been, by law, able to list your kids up to age 26, even if they are married or eligible for their own insurance.
on what grounds??? the law says they CAN keep them on till 26, NOT that they HAVE too!!!I want a Playstation and I don’t have one. I’m suing my 83 year old mother to buy me one. /sarc
But if she is not in the same general area, there may not be any doctors or hospitals covered by the plan!!!!
What did people think was going to happen when the government said that children CAN stay on parent’s policy until they are 26???
There is a short hop from CAN to WILL.
So the court is forcing her patents to do what obamacare are already mandates.
OK. then
Something similar has happened to me. My adult (loose term) stepson got drunk and broke his ankle. He went to the ER and gave them MY information. Now my plan covers him, even though he was 24 at the time. But I hadn’t used insurance that year...and no deductible had been paid yet.
Guess where the hospital sent the bill for that? I straightened it out...but it just isn’t right for an adult child to put my name on the dotted line. He doesn’t even live with me. He’s too stupid to know my I insurance info, so the hospital probably looked it up based on my name and previous visits there. He still hasn’t paid them...I’m sure one day it will show up on my credit report.
It should be optional. Its my insurance, right? Shouldn’t I be consulted before my co-workers in my group plan pay for his stupidity?
One way or the other, if anything happened to the little brat, or other brats similarly situated, the parents would get stuck with the bill. Might as well keep her on their insurance plan while the case is pending.
How about the guy who put up the money for the lawsuit
pay for her insurance as well.
And all other expenses for that matter.
The parents are both liberal, they raised their daughter to be a lefty, so hey parents, how is that hopey changey working out for you? You created this monster, now eat your peas and enjoy
18 year old writes herself out of her parents will.
I thought slavery was outlawed..oh Roberts says its a tax, I wonder if he has any regrets over this monstrosity ? We should change the name to Obama-Roberts care!
We, have a different policy in OUR house. And it doesn’t include children running the household.
The parents should cancel the policy
