It states the * ones are free as of 8/2012 which is in 5 more months.
The very first sentence on that page says no copays required immediately for all the others.
Oh, get real! Read why Happy Texan's adult son is on her plan.
He can't afford it. Lots of people can't afford insurance but don't get to ride on someone else's policy. I don't like any parts of Obamacare so I don't believe in pick and choose. There are affordable policies specifically geared toward young(er) adults and catastrophic policies suitiable for them. What happens at age 27?

Well hopefully he'll be done college and have a better paying job and can afford the premiums. Until then he's on my plan.
I know it's not free. I know that someone somewhere will be paying for this out of their own money. I know that.
And it will only get worse as more parts get implemented.
Starting in January 2013 those "rich folks" making $200K/year will be taxed additional money.

My daughter too. Her current employer doesn't offer it and she hasn't been out of college long enough to have built up a resume that can allow her to be too picky yet.
I'm hoping for employer coverage or enough income for an individual plan before we have to drop her.
At age 19, with no college, I got a full time entry level job that gave me great coverage at no cost to me at all. Times sure have changed!!

It's either that or he can go on medicaid since he's not a dependent anymore and makes min wage. Did I want that ? Did he want that ?
Nope...he cannot afford rent, electricity, food, etc AND insurance.
Considering this economy and lack of substantial jobs, he's doing pretty well on his own. And like your daughter, he can't be picky today regarding jobs.
So you mean that young out of college or high school kids entering the workforce had to go through what we all did?
No, nowhere near that. I recall paying Blue Cross/Blue Shield myself for an individual plan when I first start out and I could afford that.
Impossible today.
