When did a 26 year old become a child?

Since the libtards took over.

Does it make any sense that they gov't can send a person off to war at 18, you can't drink legally until you're 21 and now they are defining 26 year olds as kids? WTF?

It seems to me that if parents have the choice to keep their child on their health insurance until they are 26 and choose to do so, it is their business. It is "NOT" the business of right wing pessimistic instigators and haters of what they call "ObamaCare". They should call it Obama and RomneyCare because, without a doubt, that is exactly what it is..

PS: The 26 year old children who remain on their parents health insurance will still be members of society, able to vote and to care for themselves. None of that will change. :-)

Yes, in the eyes of society nothing will change they will still be inept losers.

If the eyes of RWNJs are any indication of the kind of society some people represent, who in the hell cares what they say or think? In the eyes of the sane, reasonable, logical, rational and majority society, those RWNJs are the real "inept losers". :-)

For your information(granted I understand you are ignorant)the majority of this nation lives their lives conservatively. You do understand the progressives and liberals who promote dependency represent less than 15% of the population. Granted due to your ego, you may think you represent a majority, but you once again would be wrong.

Some RWNJs are even more ignorant and out of touch than I have given them credit for. They are still living in a fool's paradise. LMFAO

Once again chatter without substance. Why is it when your ilk is presented with information that is true but does not conform to all they have been spoon fed, they ramble off into their sheltered little world of insult and personal injury.

Some RWNJs still remain even more ignorant and out of touch than they have previously been give credit for. I just like to give credit where it is due. LMAO

When will you find a point to articulate?

Whenever I find a RWNJ worthy of the effort.. I hope you are not holding up yourself as an example of the ability to articulate. LMFAO

You are always someone's child, and you shouldn't be allowed to vote until age 25 when your brain is fully developed.

There's need for me to say anything further. You took the words right out of my mouth. :-)

I'm sorry you took so long to develop.

When in doubt its always George Bush's fault... I'm assuming your referring to the ability to stay on a parents health insurance... Well this was a very cleverly thought out plan by Dems... If young people 18-26 would have been told they were going to have to get insured or pay the Fine/Tax, there would have been a falling out and a backlash from all those young folks out there. Without a doubt it would have resulted in a large turnout against Obama in November by the disgruntled youth.

But where does that entitlement mentality come from? Do they not realize they are allowing themselves to be nothing more than a child for over 1/3 of their life if being designated children until 26.

Here's something to think about, the Affordable Care Act states a child can remain on the parents coverage till age 26, but it doesn't say those parents have to keep them on their plan... Many young people may be in for a rude awakening.

Interesting, can't wait to see the government tax parents for not keeping their adult children on their policy.

HCA states that parents "CAN" keep their adult children on their policy until age 26. It does "NOT" state that they "HAVE TO". HCA has not included a government tax or any other tax to be levied against parents who don't keep their children on their health care policy until age 26.

If they are responsible for providing health care for their children, what is to stop government from holding them responsible for providing for that child until the age of 26?

HCA discussion is not about the issue of hypotheticals.. The HCA is already a law. The government cannot arbitrarily add new provisions to an existing law without a vote. I hope that eases your troubled mind.

Yes it is law that remains to be implemented over the next 4 years. You haven't read the 2714 pages of this law and the 15,000 pages it references. The vast majority of the law yet to be implemented is determined by the HHS secretary with no oversight by congress. Try reading what you pretend to know about. I sold my practice due to this law prior to it being rammed down the citizens throat. Now that we are no longer citizens, thanks to the supreme court. The processes that once bound the congress have no meaning. The constitution is null and void.

I am sure the SCOTUS Justices read all 2714 pages of the HCA before it was voted into law.

I guess you don't have faith in the right wing Republican leaning SCOTUS since the vote obviously did not meet with your expectation and satisfaction.

If there was anything in the bill that the public did not know, the SCOTUS would have made us aware of it. That's their job, you see. It's not mine or yours. After you have read the bill, no matter what your interpretation of it is, the SCOTUS decision is the deciding factor and will still stand..

For once in his Republican partisan life as a Supreme Court Justice, Judge Roberts decided to the right thing for the American people instead of for the Republican party. . Sour grapes are not very appealing. LMFAO

If you listened to oral arguments, Scalia asked Obama's solicitor, if they were supposed to read the whole thing and determine line by line. His response was "that is not possible"

The point is no one knows exactly what this bill entails, because over 40% of the provisions are going to be made up as they go along, by the HHS secretary.

You are correct the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of this legislation. It is sad that you progressives and liberals do not understand that once your individual sovereignty is gone it will not return.

This decision is not about health care it is the largest expansion of federal government power in our history. There is no aspect of your life, the government does not have the authority to reach, now. What a shame, you don't understand the consequences of it.

All of that is water under the bridge. The decision has been made by the SCOTUS. They know what's in the BiIl. Whether you like the decision or not the HCA Bill is now the law of the land.

Your interpretation of the bill is irrelevant, null and void. The sooner you accept that fact, the better off you will be.

You don't know what the consequences of the bill will be for a fact. Until you do, you should just STFU with the right wing talking points of pessimistic predictions of doom and gloom. :-)

I will guarantee you I am right, I will be your life earnings on it. Oh!, that's right your government just bet them for you.

It is Bush's fault always on those numerous occasions of negativity attributed (and rightly so) to his and the Republican administration's disastrous and colossal reign of job losses, economic failure and financial ruin they heaped upon this nation.

Anything as positive and helpful as HCA which allows parents to keep their children on their health insurance until they are 26 is not and never will be Bush's or any other Republicans "FAULT". :-)

Positive and helpful. Do I owe you a life? Is it my responsibility to care for those who will not care for themselves? If your answer to either question is yes, you have no idea what America is or once was.

Whether you know it or like it, if you pay for health care and if you pay taxes, it is already your responsibility to care for those who refuse to accept personal responsibility for the inevitable..

One of the provisions in the HCA is that the 1% of people who can afford health insurance and don't buy it face a penalty or tax which ever one you choose to call it is fine with me.

As for what America is or once was, you can't go back to yesterday and live in the past. Yesterday is dead and gone. Frankly some of us don't have that much nostalgia for the recent past especially the Bush II era.

As our brother's keeper, we owe each other the right to life if it is in our power to give it. It is apparent, you don't consider yourself to be your brother's keeper and that's your prerogative. However, I think differently. I do believe I am my brother's keeper. That also includes deadbeats and RWNJS because they too, are my brothers even though I don't necessarily like them..

No it is not my responsibility to pay for you anymore than it is your responsibility to pay for me. That is the concept you do not seem to grasp. Prior to June 28, 2012 we were sovereign individuals with the right to pursue happiness. Now we are nothing more than subjects of what ever the government wants to demand we do, and if we choose not to participate they can confiscate our personal property at the point of a gun.

What you again fail to understand is history doesn't start with your birth. For the majority of our nation's time on this planet you were not your brother's keeper. During that period we became the most prosperous nation known to man. Now we are nothing more than Greece, thanks to the supreme court.

No one owes you a life. If you are your brother's keeper why are you forcing the government to reach into my wallet to serve your goals?

What you fail to understand is that no matter how much you rail, rant and rave, your are your brother's keeper whether you like it or not. You might as well get use to it because there's not a damn thing you can do about it. LMFAO

The only way I am my brothers keeper is if they are willing to end my life to confiscate my labor. And if you think I can labor while dead, you are more ignorant than I thought.

You Betcha! They always pander to the ignorant youth.

I lost my job and was lucky enough to jump back on my parent's insurance... so it's not all freeloading babies that won't grow up...

If you lost your job and didn't rectify your situation, you are a free loading baby that won't grow up. You just defined the reason for this question. If you are a legal adult, should you be classified as a child?

What do you mean "rectify your situation" ?

Get another job! Or start your own business.

I'm actively searching for jobs... if you haven't noticed the economy is not too good. I can't start my own business because I don't have the money or the ability to get a good loan.

You don't need money or a loan to start a business, unless you are completely handicapped and don't have any skill that someone is willing to pay you for. Considering you possess the ability to type, you are not completely handicapped. What are you going to do when you are 50 and the same thing happens? Run back to mommy and daddy if they are still alive?

I have several medications that I could not afford if it wasn't for their insurance. I could die without them.

Guess you should die then. The whole throw your hands in the air and say "woe is me" is the issue. Once you are an adult YOU are responsible for YOUR needs, if you fail at that the only option should be death. You have the ability to type, you obviously have a limited ability to think, I will guarantee you an ambitious person with those skills can earn a living. So is it, you are unambitious or are you not trying to think.
