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

[QUOTE="Fran, post: 379850, member: 3"] There is a right of passage for R.catholics at age 7 which was the age of reason. I doubt there is a 7 yr old who is able to grasp that huge concept. 14yr olds got married 2 generations ago. A child dropped out of school to work in the fields before they ever knew there were other choices. I think as a culture we are younger longer. At 55, a generation ago, there was a stereotype that women filled. I'm not ready to be that old. I guess, my difficult child is dev. delayed but my easy child, although pretty typical isn't as mature as I was at 21. I wouldn't want him to grow up that fast and have so few choices. He is a good, responsible, kid who works and is self sufficient but with school and part time work, needs our medical insurance to keep him on antiseizure medications. TALAN, I hear what you are saying and it gives me a moment to pause and think. If a young adult does not take advantage of their medical coverage then I agree, drop it. Lumping all young adults in the same category isn't accurate. Having medical coverage for your child because the job he works 40 hrs or more(temporary for 3 yrs) with no benefits doesn't allow him to perpetuate his childhood but is a safety net to help a young adult to get the basics he needs. This is a salvation for many young adults who do with out the right medical care. I'm grateful to have this added on. [/QUOTE]
