here is a link with states and ages
http://www.ncsl.org/default.aspx?tabid=14497

Pa:2009 SB 189 states that an unmarried child may remain on parent’s insurance up to age 30 if they have no dependents and are residents of PA or are enrolled as full-time students

Edit, I thought it was through age 30, it is TO age 30 but that doesn’t change AP’s lie

The real result is there is no healthcare nor insurance.

At least it sounds like that the way this has been written.

No doctors; no health care.

The moochers bought a pig in a polk.

Someone said it best-—

Obama advocates that 11 year olds should have the right to abortion and also advocates that 26 year old are too immature to leave home.

“struggling to get on their feet during the worst slump since the Depression.”

My daughter, 20 and in college, has rarely been without a job since before she turned 18. She knows that Mom and Dad aren’t going to pay for the phone and that we expect to be reimbursed for her part of the car insurance. She pays gas, she pays to eat out (if not with us), she pays for clothes. She has and uses a budget book, and she can make ends meet.

Spare me your “struggling to get on their feet” Bravo Sierra, journalist.

Colonel, USAFR

The law will allow young adults to stay on or return to their parents' insurance until age 26. To qualify, young people must be "dependents" of their parents.

Dwight here has been living in his Mom's basement since he dropped out of the local community college. Dwight is approaching 40 and plays WOW all day. Dwight thinks it's unfair that he's too old to be on his Mom's insurance. Dwight votes Democrat - unless election day interferes with a "Mythbusters" marathon.

Ha.
THey are coming out of the wood work cause they think it is free. Once the parents realize they have to pay extra and ask their adult children for money to cover it, they will decide they do not want insurance. Would rather buy a new game for the xbox each month.

I wonder if parents are going to be obligated to cover their adult children. I have a sister who barely makes ends meet and she has a 23 yr old son who likes to party and LOVES entitlements. He is on her cell phone plan, and on their car insurance. I wonder when he will call her and inform her that she needs to put him on her health insurance.

From the Article:

“Regulations still have to be written, but here are some of the crucial specifics of the new law, based on a reading of the measure and interpretation by various experts.”

Since the regulations haven’t been written? Haven’t been written? Yet it was ‘passed’ through congress and signed into law.

They really are just making this sh#@ up as they seem fit aren’t they?

Exactly. 26 is beyond ridiculous. By the time I was 26 I had been allowed to vote for 8 years, eligible for military service for 8 years, could legally drink for 5 years, had been married for 2, was working on my second college degree and my parents were quite happy to have me out of the house... I’m fairly certain I wasn’t a “child” by any reasonable definition.

I just read elsewhere that it will NOT include married children.

Our plan allowed us to PAY to keep our daughter on it so long as she was a full time college student until the age of 23.

They’ll go blind if they keep doing that.

“Spouse and kids can’t be on the policy? What cold hearted people! Do they not realize that some people in their twenties don’t have parents? And what about the kids? A twenty-five year old single mother can get on her parents’ insurance but not the grandbaby? What’s up with that?”

Please give the Democrats some time. This bill is only health reform 101. The extended family is coming in health reform 102.

You were lucky. By the time I was 26, I had received my honorable discharge.

Democraps look at us all as their “children”... that’s why we need their cradle to grave nanny government programs. Without them we wouldn’t know how to wipe our butts.
