Most companies will now allow you to cover the deadbeat (I mean darling) kid living at home with you until he is 26, and no - he don't have to be going to school!!
Don't have a choice. And even if you personally don't have a kid you WILL be paying for it.
No, you won't! This is not tax supported (but you knew that). The employer and employee will be paying for it. Prior to this provision, many insurances paid for kids up to 25 who were full time students, so this isn't that big a change.
This is for young adults who have no workplace insurance available, e.g. students, people working for "entrepreneurs" who don't want to provide insurance, etc.

I'm happy about it. My newly graduated daughter doesn't have benefits at her first, rather low paying, job. Nor is the job all that stable. My son is attending college, sometimes part time, while working part time for minimum wage. When he finishes up with his AA I don't know if he will immediately go full time to a 4 year university or try to work more but it doesn't matter. Neither can afford it on their own and I'm glad for the opportunity to keep them covered while they establish themselves.
I was fortunate to find a full time job right out of high school that gave me health insurance, and paid enough to let me move out. I stayed there for 12 years and worked my way up the ladder. I would love for my own kids to have that kind of opportunity but they don't. "Deadbeats"? I think not. Count yourself among the lucky if your own kids can get a stable job with health benefits. With most people being covered as part of an employee group policy I just consider this another form of group policy. We will all pay for it one way or the other anyway.

Let me reword for you...
If you have insurance but no kid you will pay for this change via your premiums because it's a new mandate and everyone's insurance is going up.
I said NOTHING about tax supported.
You have insurance then you pay for these new mandates whether you want them or not.
Everyones insurace goes up all the time. You don't need a mandate for that.
It's been averaging 10% per year up until this year.
Now people are getting hit with 10-15-20 and higher percentage increases with explanations that this is due to the new mandates.
