Bloomberg: Obama Health Gift to Guitarist Adds Adult Kids to Payrolls
April 5 (Bloomberg) -- When Brian Howell, a 23-year-old Nashville, Tennessee, guitar player, feared a lingering cold had turned into an infection last year, he decided against seeing a doctor. It would have cost too much, he said.
“I decided just to drink a lot of tea and take some Mucinex,” Howell said. “It turned out OK -- thankfully.”
Howell hopes to stop gambling with his health next year, he said. That’s when young adults up to age 26, who aren’t covered by a company insurance plan, will be able to join their parents’ policies under the U.S. health overhaul signed into law last month. The change may save Howell $800 a year in premiums, money he said he plans to put into savings and a diet that’s less dependent on road-tour fast food.

The Health Care Reform Bill is still in its infancy, however big companies everywhere are already finding loop holes to get around it. The top honchos of companies like AT&T, Sprint, and the health insurance companies decided to find ways to get past specific laws for instance: requiring everybody in the company be insured, accepting kids with pre existing conditions, and other things they don’t like. The kind of discovery from AT&T is that by not providing health coverage to their associates and just paying the Government fee they would really be saving $4.1 billion a year. To me it sounds like the new health care reform bill will again be for making the little guy suffer while the big one gets richer.
