The last insurance company writing "child-only" health policies in Minnesota has pulled out of the market.
Minnetonka-based Medica said Friday that it is no longer selling policies that cover individuals under the age of 19.

This is what happens when one makes a deal with the prince of darkness.
And how many kids will take advantage of their parents with the age 26 bit.
This is as intended by the demscum. Next step is to provide government “health care” for kids to fill the gap created by the “evil irresponsible profit hungry private sector.” They will then be able to dictate whatever they want to kids and their parents. You want insurance for your kids? No guns at home. Etc.

There are no “unintended” consequences of laws.
I’m so glad healthcare is affordable now!

The Marxist handbook:
Identify every essential product or service the public needs.
Identify every private sector providing a necessary product/service.
Assess the value of those products/services.
Regulate and then confiscate assets of all essential private providers of products and services.

They should change that to age 26. That's how long Obamacare considers someone eligible to be under their parents plan.
Actually, I’d like to change this and allow kids up until age 65 under Dad’s plan...provided they stay single and live in Dad’s basement.
