Is anyone adding their difficult child to their insurance next year?

[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 379840, member: 8405"] Long before I ever had an inkling there were SERIOUS issues with my difficult child-s, I objected strongly objected to the seemingly "American trend" of putting video games in the hands of one of our nation's greatest resource (youth) and perpetually postponing the arrival of adulthood. Think about it... at 13 Jewish tradition calls a boy a man. In my life-time "legal drinking age" has climbed from 18 to 21. Young people can enlist to defend our nation years before they can be trusted to legally consume alcohol in the nation they've chosen to serve. Outside of "special needs" situations I am principally opposed to the concept of covering young people who are able to go out, contribute to society, get work and be insured via their own employer. I'm opposed to the financial burden placed on businesses everywhere while perpetuating childhood of capable young people. I realize the economy is bad... but I don't believe it is a good practice to cripple our work force by encouraging them to drool on mom and pop's couch clutching a video game while their 2nd decade of life passes them by, leaving them bewildered 30-year-olds wondering what legislation will take care of them for the next 10 years. That said. We extended coverage for most of the first year past our difficult child's tandem meltdowns. We wanted them to be able to get the QUALITY help they so desperately needed. Both difficult child's refused to take advantage of our generosity to help them walk in mental health. That extra bill is a bill we do not need to carry. We have decided to dropped their coverage and are allowing them to experience the natural consequences of their own poor choices. [U] In our situation[/U]... difficult child-s's poor choices are related to their mental illness... but natural consequences have been proven to be one of the best teachers for people with their condition. I am fully aware that every one here has a different experience. I encourage each of you to do what you believe is truly best for your family!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
