Reply #18: And if those children cannot GET health insurance on their own?

God -- what an absolutely selfish attitude -- the Grand ole *I got mine, fuck you* attitude that is so prevalent in this country.

Bully for you -- you had it easier. But kids with pre-existing conditions don't automatically become eligible for insurance when they get out of high school, or even graduate college. There are even jobs that will NOT hire people because of pre-existing conditions. It might be against the law to discriminate -- but you have to prove that is in fact what they are doing.

As a parent of a child with health problems - my answer to anyone claiming this is some sort of extension of their childhood -- f*ck you and your cliff notes *psychology*. This has NOTHING to do with psychology, this has everything to do with keeping these young people healthy and ALIVE.

And I don't need to tell you where you can put your *when *I* was 26* nonsense. Multiple times, please. :sarcasm:
