GOP Sen. Roy Blunt Supports Obamacare Provision That Keeps Kids Under 26 on Parents’ Plan - ABC News

Young adults under the age of 26, who are currently on their parent’s health insurance plan, can expect cooperation from at least one Republican senator if the Supreme Court overturns the entire Affordable Care Act.

“I believe that’s one of the things that the Congress would surely reinstate,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, of Missouri, in an interview with Missouri radio station KTRS, which was posted to the senator’s YouTube page last Thursday and highlighted today by the liberal website Talking Points Memo.

Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., made some noise among conservatives when he expressed his support for preserving parts of the health care law.

Sure to please many and upset a few!

"Children" under age 26 staying on their parents health insurance is my single worst thing I hate about Obamacare. I now consider Blunt a RINO and hope he get's primaried next election. He is everything that's wrong with Republicans.

Just curious as to why this is the most offensive part to you. It's not like they are being covered for free.

there are things to like in the obamacare law, the problem is the tons of junk in the bill, increased taxes, many more regulations, as well as the federal mandate to buy a product that kills the law for me.

Looks like big pharma finally cracked the whip at the GOP to get in line and stop screwing around on the issue.

I think it's one of the best things about it. Even Allen West agrees with it.

However, without a mandate, implementing any major changes will be difficult.

yes, but only if congress and the president actually listen to what the people truly want in health care reform.

Ahh, without the mandate the things you like in the bill don't make sense, you know that right? It's like saying you want someone to bake apple pie without any pie crust.

Feel free to outline the number of viable alternatives that were proposed. I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with hero.

There's a reason why the Republicans proposed this same idea in the 90's.
