Did you somehow get the impression that the 26-year old's healthcare is free?
If a working parent adds that child onto his or her policy, that parent is now paying for that health insurance as would be done for any other child.
If a parent chooses to pay for his or her own child, how is that immoral?
When you're 26 you're not a child. Why is it 26 and not 39?
Since you don't apparently know, Medicare part D was passed by a Republican congress, signed off on by a Republican President, and increased our debt by almost 7 trillion dollars.
I guess you don't know that the just finished Congress caused my Part D to go up $10 per month and increased my part of shared pay. Didn't that get the Dens even with us? Surely the $50 billion per year they are taking from Medicare should have done it well enough, but they hit us from two directions.
I didn't know the Dems threw out SCHIP when they passed the law that will tax us for 4 years before it goes into effect. Those kids won't be insured talking points are wearing pretty thin by now.
Just like death tax and other crap like that huh?
Those kids are paid for on their parents plan, your taxes don't pay for those.
All the mandate did was to make it mandatory that healthcare plans allow parents to keep their children on their plans until they are 26, if they are in school.
Just like mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions didn't raise your taxes.
Expanding medicare and medicaid raised your taxes.

No idea. But even it was 39, their parents would still be paying for their insurance, not some hypothetical 18 year old kid.
And, even better, the taxpayers wouldn't be paying either via Medicaid or with higher insurance rates because the 'kid' is uninsured.

Those are two different things. The new law goes further than SCHIP as far as protections on insurance coverage for children. Portions of the law are already into effect. Your taxes were not raised by this. By the way this closed the donut whole in Medicare part D,
Once a repeal gets passed those provisions are gone as well. Anyway, a repeal has no chance of passing the Senate let alone a veto override so its not going to happen.
I think we can rest assured that there will be a veto but I am not sure about what the Senate will do when it comes their turn. Not all of them are stupid enough to change sides on this question.
I love it how Dems keep saying there are not enough to override as their only defense.

All it does is give parents an OPTION to be able to cover their children under their own policy until they are 26. Its the parents who are paying for it.

I assume you chose to have an additional drug coverage plan. Like any Ins Co, premiums will rise.

The only donut hole I have to contend with is what is left after I eat the donut. I don't work anymore so my taxes won't be affected but all the people I have asked about this who work for employers who "provide" health insurance indicate to me that their employers have already told them that they will have to pay income taxes on what used to be a benefit. That sure takes place this month, as you say.
My Part D insurer has not informed me that the entire donut hole has been closed.
