Young adults praise new provisions (Health Care)

One year ago, Evan Gathers collapsed at Casper College in Casper, Wyoming.

Hours after losing consciousness, he awoke at Children's Hospital in Aurora where he had been flown by air ambulance.

Gathers, 20, suffers from the same condition that killed his mother - antiphospholipid antibody syndrome - or the tendency to form blood clots in his body. He had experienced a life-threatening blood clot.

Young people if you like the new health care - you have to get out there & vote to keep it!

:thumbsup:

have access to, can afford to, and agree to keep their adult children on their insurance plan.

insurance company is still forced to keep them on their parents plan? That was something a caller was fired up about on the radio this afternoon. If that is true it puts a burden on employers and it will definitely drive up rates.

...whose Mom & Dad have plenty of money.
Good for them!~

My daughter is 22 and will remain uninsured. Her Father & I have Tricare which is exempt from the new law. I don't think she'll bother to vote this time around, especially as our rep is a Blue Dog (and on the wrong side of most of the issues she cares about). The irony is that she's a dual citizen of the UK, and wouldn't be living with the constant worry of getting sick, or in an accident, if only we'd had the good sense to stay there.
