They will still be covered at 18 under the regular program.

Tricare young adult covers young adults from the age of 21-26 for a cost of $156 per month. This is quite a bit cheaper than a gold ACA plan with similar coverage

It may be the best for some, not all, Cancers and some diseases for those who can afford to carry adequate insurance and especially for those who can pay in full, out of pocket.

Healthcare is rationed everywhere.
Sure. But in other countries it's imposed on you. In this country, you have some choices, including asking for charity.

The system is designed to be "gamed". Everything the government does is designed to be exploited for profit.

No, that you fail to recognize that government always invites and encourages fraud is not to your credit.

Clever. My family has been here since the 1600's, so the English language isn't a challenge for me.

A ballpark is actually an estimate made without using adequate or complete information. Yes, ADEQUATE or COMPLETE information. In other words, a uneducated guess.

It seems that YOU don't understand exactly what a ballpark is. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that your mother is an immigrant. Maybe it doesn't.

If you have nothing to add to the conversation, please stay on the sidelines.

So what you are saying is that since so many conservatives collect SS, Medicare, Tricare, VA, EIC, Medicaid, etc. The Republican base is also part of the problem not just Democrats.

No, I'm not saying that at all.

Why is every post you make a lie?

Weren't some of your fellow libs telling us that they wanted single payer? Wasn't it revealed in videos that this administration really actually wanted single payer?

Are you trying to pretend that this wasn't the plan all along and that libs aren't happy about it?

So we're going to sit through another failure when single payer is attempted? When will people get it? Damn, do none of you pay attention to what Mircea has been stating repeatedly, over and over and over again? He's only written it at least 50 times on this forum.
Really, what the libs are admitting, is that they're willing to destroy the entire health care system if it means getting government in charge. They worship government more than any God. Gods only ask for personal commitment. They intend to commit us all to the government altar of death panels.

Private insurance goes back centuries.

Insurance fraud is common stuff and certainly not limited to healthcare. The cost of fraud is the cost of doing business and becomes a part of premiums we all pay.
