Obama Takes Credit for 2.5 Million More Kids Covered

[Crabcake Johnny]

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration says the number of young adults going without medical coverage has shrunk by 2.5 million since the new health care law took effect.

A new analysis to be released Wednesday finds the drop is two-and-a-half times the figure indicated by government and private estimates from earlier this year. The health care overhaul allows young adults to stay on a parent's plan until they turn 26.

Administration analysts found that nearly 36 percent of Americans age 19-25 were uninsured in the third calendar quarter of 2010, before the law's provision took effect. That's over 10.5 million people.

Is he also going to take the blame 15-30 years from now when those parents aren't going to have enough money to retire on because they were paying for their children's health insurance?

Why would he care then... 30 years from now he will be dead of old age.....

You think Jimmy Carter cares that he is the worst Prez ever?

Actually he might be routing for Obamie to replace him in that title.

Its the kid's way to take advantage of the Social Security crisis. We are paying for your retirement while you can help pay our Health insurance. The thing is, the kids pay the FICA since they were 15. Adults pay the Health Insurance until they are 26.... Find something else to complain about.
