Side Effects: College Students May Lose Health Care Option Under Obamacare[views:2702][posts:2]_______________________________________________________ [Aug 31,2010 5:04pm - 666 TEA PARTY REVOLUTION 666 ""] But what about kids without parental coverage? The new law’s requirement that insurance cover children up to age 26 won’t make any difference for them. Currently, college students without coverage can enroll in low-cost student health plans offered through universities. These plans may include limits to keep costs down, but are often designed around to complement university health services to provide comprehensive coverage.

They will therefore then have to pay the same penalty as those who have decided to opt out of the federal healthcare program. Moreover, the glitch could leave up to half a million children without healthcare coverage, according to Bruce Lesley, the president of First Focus, an advocacy group for children. He said that the law’s denying children healthcare was based upon “a bogus definition of affordability.” |
