Coverage for all is not something Pres. Obama invented. It is the most basic logical proactive thing for a person to do in an uncertain world. It is the foundation on what all insurances are built on. By forcing companies to cover people with preexisting conditions you’re eroding that base.
That 19 year old is old enough to vote. Old enough to work. Old enough to join the army. But he’s not old enough to get coverage for himself?
By raising the age you’re also creating a scenario in which companies are losing out on a large amount of policies which translates to premiums. Which means loss of income. So now a struggling growing family is asked to cover a large group of young singles who are perfectly capable of working and contributing to their own wellbeing.
More later. Maybe.
