#1 Keeping children on the insurance til 26 is no big deal for the insurers. These are the healthiest ages, and the least-likely to need care

#2 If I could teach my Rat Terrier to type, she could write a better article than this.

The libs dumbed down education so they could run the country and now their chief water carriers are a bunch of dumb downed airheads working for AP. Tell the Dems to thank their teacher union satraps.

#4 Getting rid of slavery (aka involuntary servitude) the first time around was messy too.

The democrats were pretty much hell bent against that as well. Trend?

#5 Surely the Ay Pee journalist and his highly paid editors mean fees rather than taxes. Fees are paid to an insurance company to purchase an extra service, whereas taxes are paid to the government to provide services to others.

It's both. I believe the parents have to pay an additional $200 premium each year, but that fee comes from after-tax money, so it might be an additional $50 or so taxes. The fee is nothing to worry about, and the taxes even less so. I have no idea why the writer is worried about this, but I'm sure someone makes a pill for this kind of worry.
