The only thing I have been worried about should the Supremes throw out Obamacare is the insurance for the under-26 crowd.
Many decisions have been made by families and the adult children themselves based on the availability of this extension. Pulling this out would create a real problem for them, putting them back on the individual market where they started.
Not saying Obamacare should have been done in the first place, but all kinds of plans (grad school, start your own business, take a job that does not offer benefits, etc) have been made based on that option.
The under-26 thing is all about STDs.
When I was in that age bracket, nobody gave a rip about health insurance.
Now all you hear about is how vital it is for these “kids” to have “coverage”.
They need to learn to keep their pants on.
Just like Greece, seems impossible to go back.

Have a little concern for some of us middle aged people who have pre-existing conditions (such as cancer) and don’t have employer paid health care. Many people their 50’s are downsized from corporations but too young for Medicare. Once Cobra expires we must go to the market. It is very difficult to get health insurance in the private market if you have a preexisting condition and are over age 50 no matter how many years you and your employer paid into the system. If you can get a policy it is incredibly expensive and has high deductibles. We aren’t asking for a handout, just to have insurance available at a reasonable cost.
