Um, Mr. President, I don’t want my kids on my health insurance when they’re 26!

With every day it seems like we learn something new about what a fiasco ObamaCare is. Dan has the latest today, as they've delayed the cap on out-of-pocket expenses by a year.

So with just about everything going wrong, President Obama likes to go around touting the few tiny things he can claim are going right. One of these is the provision in the law that allows "children" to stay on their parents health insurance until they're 26 years old. This is a benefit? Mr. President, I love my kids, and because I love them I certainly do not want them on my health insurance until they're 26! That's nothing but an incentive to hang around the house and not work when they're at the point in their lives when they should be getting rolling on their careers. I want my children self-sufficient, standing on their own two feet, and responsible for getting their own health care. I bet a lot of parents feel the same way. The last thing any of us need is the federal government incentivizing our young adults to be slackers and continue thinking of themselves as children who need to depend on us when they are 26 years old! If that's supposed to be some sort of ObamaCare success story, this is an even bigger disaster than we thought.
