OT: Anyone hear the NPR interview about the person getting dependant care coverage from parents

[Coronita]

[quote=CONCHO]In the USA it is important that outrage and anger be directed at those at or near the bottom. Anger and outrage should never be directed upwards, unless it is towards one of the officially recognized political divisions or disposable public figures.

Clearly the person in this story is an irresponsible brat who doesn’t know how to manage their money and is looking for a free ride. Having graduated from college, she might be able to extend her twisted scam for as many as 4 years before she reaches the age of 26! Think of the chaos and damage this will undoubtedly cause.

I will coin a descriptive new phrase for such people here, we’ll call them “Insurance Freeloaders.” I encourage everyone to post to this thread and to create new threads about how these insurance freeloaders are ruining our society.[/quote]

I look at it another way… Health care needs to be (or is going to need to be rationed)…Folks like this I think are taking away resources from other folks who really need it.

I listened to the same interview today in whole and I didn’t get anything negative out of it.

the freelance thing is really just a way to say “involuntary temperary part time jobs.” as for 2-3 jobs. that simply means most employers out there are trying their best to game the system by making sure their employees stay “part-time” and therefore they are not on the hook for benefits. think of it this way, I would rather hire two part timers each at 20 hours a week instead of a full time worker working 40 hours.

as for getting on her parent’s insurance. I think otherwise in the great majority of cases, the young adult would have simply gone without insurance. something catestrophic comes along and it’ll be on our dime.

I just went through this with my son. He graduated from college in May and as I said in a previous topic has a job which does pay his health insurance. So we dropped him from our coverage, and to my shock, their was no difference in our price. A friend of mines son also just graduated, his son has a job that does not pay his insurance, my friend is able to keep his son on his policy but only through COBRA and that is very expensive. I think the only was to stay on the policy is if you are a full or part time student and under 25 or 26. I think instead of blaming the kids as the entitled ones, I think of it as the parents protecting themselves from a large medical bill if the kid has no insurance. Because if they don’t have insurance and the kid has no money, who do you think will pay?
