I don't know about that. I've heard from others that their young 20-something-year-old child HAS to be covered under their parent/parents' insurance if not working full time and/or not offered a good insurance option from the employer. It would be interesting to see that section in the healthcare bill. I have no idea how to go about finding it though.

Right, if they are okay with their child having to pay a penalty in their taxes. Is that right?

Maybe later when I have more time, I'll try and search for it, but the bill itself is pretty complicated to read with a lot of legal terms and such.

See, this is where I'm confused. I thought they could NOT purchase their own insurance, that if the business they work for (if they are under cut-off age) did not supply adequate insurance or if the "child" (not REALLY a child, but you know what I mean) does not have a job or just a part-time job that they either had to be covered under the parents' insurance or pay the penalty in taxes and are not allowed to purchase their own insurance? Like I said, I'm not really sure, but after talking to several parents of 20-something-year-olds, that was the gist I got.
It would be nice if someone could post that section of the bill so we can look at it and clear this up.

Do I have to cover my under 26 year old?
No. If you don’t cover your under-26-year-old on your plan, they have the same options as anyone else who doesn’t have coverage, including getting a private health insurance plan through the Marketplace. Depending on their income, they may qualify for lower costs on monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, or for Medicaid coverage. If they don’t have health coverage, they may have to pay the fee for not being insured.

So then, they CAN purchase health insurance through Obamacare on their own. Thanks for clearing that up. So, this whole thread is apparently nothing but bullshit.
Also, you don't have to go through Obamacare. You are free to purchase directly from an insurance company.
I couldn't afford it either. Lol. I'd probably just take the penalty in my taxes if it came down to that.
Exactly. That's why the exchange exists to alleviate that problem.Also, you don't have to go through Obamacare. You are free to purchase directly from an insurance company.
Sure, but most 20-somethings would probably not be able to afford that. Health insurance purchased outright without a group rate is outrageously expensive.
Yes, basically she's complaining that he can't get a subsidy through the exchange. Pretty funny when you think about it. She's an entitlement junkie.But it is a little more complicated with Lovebears and her 24 year old son....because I believe her son still lives at home, (is taking college courses) and she and her husband are supporting him, so this means that when he applied for insurance on the exchange, and they asked for the "Tax Household" information, it would include both parent's income and what little he makes in the total tax household.... and since he is being supported by his parents and used as a dependent of his parents, on their taxes and they have health care coverage that he could be put on, that he would not be eligible to get a subsidy.
This all comes about because her 24 yr old son IS A DEPENDENT of hers and her husbands.
Just like me, who is not working and does not have an employer sponsored health care plan, can NOT go on the exchange and GET a subsidy to help, BECAUSE my husband's employer offers my husband the option to cover his wife and kids etc.... I would NOT be able to go to the exchange and get subsidized help because I can be put on my working husband's plan.
What's different about Lovebears though is that she and her family is covered by TRICARE which is healthcare coverage for the Military and 20 years of service, retired Veterans.... Tricare covers the military and their kids with no additional fee up through the age of 23 if the children are dependents and are in college.
But at 24 yrs old the Military benefits will not cover children over the age of 23 for free, they require a $208 fee for the 24 yrs old to be covered on the parent's Military coverage....(which btw is excellent coverage, pays 80% or better, you can go to any doctor or hospital, no $5000 deductibles or anything like that)
The Military will not allow a 24 yr old child to go on their parent's TRICARE,
UNLESS the 24yr is being supported by their parents and is in college....
If her son was not being supported by his parents, and was not a dependent of his parents, then her son would NOT BE ELIGIBLE to go on the Military Tricare system,
then he could go to the exchange and get subsidized, depending on how much he makes.
yes, that is what she is upset about, and the $208 to cover her son with tricare, unless they get hit with the small penalty...Yes, basically she's complaining that he can't get a subsidy through the exchange.

So that other people don't have to pick up the tab for those who don't have insurance and have a car accident or an illness that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars maybe? What do you think happens in such a situation? the hospitals and doctors pass on the costs to the rest of us.
