hmmmm, a few of us talked about it.
From what ive seen and read just the basics without super detail it kinda sounds like its a good move to help people. But then again ive heard a lot of stuff that kinda scares me.
I think the whole staying under your family healthcare till your 26 is a great thing tho, because face it your still a kid and getting on your feet. Most 20 year olds are not worry about paying for insurance... ( im not ) all my money goes to just surviving and living

I think it's great for my parents whom make very VERY low combined income. It sucks for me now however, because now I'm paying for people's healthcare such as my parents. I don't mind though, because I know how stressful not having health insurance is and I don't ever want others to feel that stress, especially my folks.

Terrible idea. I hate to get into a huge political discussion on the bill but this most likely will not do anything but follow the status quo on every government run system in America; terrible care and out of control spending do not fix a damn thing, it will only make things worse. Average poll ratings show around 65% of our country does not want this to happen, yet it was forced through anyways will bribing and extortion of states. The days of the Government working for the people are over.
Anyways I'd rather not have a discussion on this as everyone seems to get fired up over it(including myself hehe) but I really suggest everyone to read what really is in these things themselfs instead of listening to what the news tells us whats in it.

Yea my moms been unemployed for a year. So i'm all for it, she's been on my dads plan for a year and its really not affordable right now.Thats why i haven't been able to ride a lot this past year..

If we weren't paying $700 a month i might already have moved up to the to 250. Thats been put off for almost a year.

being on insurance or not it hasn't ever once stopped me from riding, a hospital CAN NOT refuse to service you because of financial issues.

oh fer sure A LOT OF THINGS come first and should come first, most kids just want their parents to fork out all this money for them to go ride. You made it sound like that was the only reason you were riding because of no insurance.
lets take a poll who is currently on some type of insurance ?
