FULL TIME student, not just a student. I've had co-workers' whose kids dropped a class which put them below full time and the kid lost insurance for the rest of that year. We have to provide proof every term that the kid is enrolled full time. That eliminates the possibility of working part time and going to school part time too. I believe I can only cover my kids through age 22 currently. The coverage given by college health plans, in my experience, is pretty awful. |

At least at my graduate school, they had basic insurance (for relatively healthy people who needed an entry-level plan) and a comprehensive plan (for people with conditions that needed more attention), and neither of them were so expensive. Their deductibles were high, but that's based on the fact that graduate students tend to be a low-risk population. Even if I had found Columbia's insurance to be unaffordable, my undergrad's alumni association offered low-cost medical insurance for recent graduates. (Hell, my life and renter's insurance is through them now!) My whole point wasn't to dissect all student health insurance plans, just to point out that the age limit extension isn't all that groundbreaking since some form of it already applies in most states regardless of whether or not you're a full time student. |

Again, they can get a free degree but how does that translate into putting it to good use? Again, anything given for 'free' has its consequences (dang...I am really going back on my word...someone else take this up please!) even the quality of what is given and what someone chooses to do with it afterwards? it's on them. I am seriously done for now....hehehe |

Now, when I say lazy people, I mean people who have "lived" off welfare and made it a family tradition. It is one thing to need a little bit of help. I understand that. I do know, however, many people who have almost "passed the torch" to the next generation regarding the great benefits they receive on the 1st and 15th of every month. I've seen people on welfare clothing their children in namebrand clothes while feeding them ice cream for dinner and getting them the newest X-Box game, while co-workers who were Caseworkers/ Counselors could barely afford to buy their children a new winter coat because they had to pay off their COLLEGE loans. It disgusts me. |

Let me say it really slow.
Max (or whatever ego they use) is not out to make a salient point. They are out seeking your acknowledgement of them (I.e. get your attention) If you feed a monkey, he will keep coming back for more food in any obnoxious manner until you feed him. GC needs to stop feeding the zoo's occupant. |

Miss Turn the Blind Eye You keep entertaining while the rest of us follows sane advice. Maybe you should just stick to talking about necklaces. |

I can talk about whatever the hell I want to talk about. Turning the blind eye? Not hardly. I do community service with my spare time. I'm sure some people can't say the same thing. Back to the thread, I'm waiting to see how everyone reacts to this in the next year or so. I don't mean how they react now. I'm just saying in a year or so. It makes me smile when I think how Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for....well, I'm not sure what. Maybe he got it for not being George W. Bush (which, I'm sure is Nobel Peace Prize worthy :rolleyes:). Maybe now people will really be behind him and all the GREAT things he has done for this country. I can't wait for election time, again! |

Four out of five of the uninsured were in working families.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/04...pidemic.obama/ Are they lazy? The ones who work but their employers don't provide health insurance? Oh? Should they get new jobs with employers that provide it? Problem is, there are not enough jobs with employers who provide health insurance for everybody to have such a job. |

As a proud member of Phi Mu, I have every right to put my signature on here. I would leave arguments in a thread if DS would do the same. I am allowed to have opinions of my own without you feeling the need to tell me when I can and cannot discuss them. Thanks, but no thanks. As someone who is very involved with the Alumni chapters and her own collegiate chapter, I might just put my signature back in. I don't make Phi Mu look bad, people who go around complaining about not being able to find jobs with a college education (and years of experience) make their orgs. look bad.:rolleyes: I think this whole ObamaCare thing is stupid. I said it, I believe it. I don't give a damn if people in here appreciate my feelings, but last time I checked this was a chatroom for people to discuss their thoughts. |

There...you feel better? Want a Jolly Rancher to suck on? |

If you chose a career path with little to no insurance, that is your own fault. I am owning up to my choice to not have it. It sucks. Yes, but I chose to go back to school. Thoughts? |

You just made my day. I think it's time you returned to the far right lane and stick to necklaces. Does anyone else feel like teaching her today? Myself and a few others have explained it and she is just not catching on. |

A mechanic wouldn't fix your car without you paying them. Why should hospitals have to care for people who choose not to have insurance? THIS is the main reason that health care is so expensive (among many other reasons, admittedly). The health care system I work for GAVE AWAY more than $150,000,000 in free health care last year alone. Why? Because they HAVE TO BY LAW. Your lifestyle choice can cost others a lot of money. The government or parent subsidized health insurance available to you under this plan costs LESS in the long run. |

Funny you should call me an idiot, yet you haven't said the kinds of things you have done for the community (other than that you don't want to "brag" about it), you probably don't really have a job (how else can you post so much?), and I'd be shocked to find out you went to a really good school, for someone who calls other idiots. Not that a good school should matter, though because as Pika pointed out-a great school does not equate to a good job or living. Keep posting away, though! Epchick, still don't know what your problem happens to be. Now that posting back and forth through this pissing contest with people I don't even know (nor would I want to in real life), I do have to get back to work...YES...WORK. I know that is hard concept for some people (DS) with their 7,000 posts or (DS) with their smiley face comments when nothing of value can be said, but I must do it. Have a lovely day. ;) |

Yeah it never ceases to amaze me the shit you come up with too. You are more than welcome to your opinion, just like I'm welcome to mine. But when you decide to insult people and things you have NO IDEA about (even though you claim to) then that is where the problem comes in. ETA: People have told you STOP replying to Rasputn...aka MadMax. How about you do a search for "madmax" and see if you can figure out why. |

"I do so much for the community. Instead of continuing to do things, I want you to tell me what YOU do. Come on...tell me!" "People who post on this site don't have jobs. I'm the exception, though" "I hate getting into pissing contests with these folks, even though they don't turn into bitch-fests until I get involved." Yea...please shut the fuck up. |
