I agree sprog, I only pointed this out because for some their parents might be like the millions of Americans without health insurance. As an example, my niece has always had her health insurance through the school's program. Her mom is single and can't afford the family plan offered, instead they buy the school plan every yr and hope that she doesn't get sick or injured in the summer.
We are on Tri-Care(retiree), and were informed in May our DS was being dropped(medical, vision and dental) because he was no longer in school. We at the same time received a letter for DS2 stating we must provide proof of college enrollment for him or he would be dropped. It is their deal...in school and up to 23, they are on our plan. 18 and not in school, they are not. That wasn't a shocker because for the last 4 yrs Bullet has had to send in the bursar's bill 2x a yr for proof.
We did not investigate if DS could stay on because the cost for him to be in Tri-Care on his own is very minimal, so we told him to do it now out of fear that he would somehow get caught in Tri-Care red tape. Basically said consider this your R & B...trust me he is getting off cheap when you think about how much a 22 yo can eat in one day, even when they are at work for 9 hrs a day! That is before discussing the maid/laundry service I provide
