Obamacare doesn't extend to "young adult" military dependents

Unlike the rest of those lucky enough to be covered by Obamacare, the dependents of U.S. Military members don't enjoy those awesome protections.

Instead, of being covered by their parent's plan until age 26 as "promised" by Obamacare, unmarried biological and adopted children loose coverage under Tricare on their 21st birthday or on their 23 birthday if enrolled in a full course of study at a approved institution of higher learning and the sponsor continues to provide 50% of the child's financial support even if the sponsor gets divorced or remarried.

Perhaps they will continue until everyone is waivered out of Obamacare???

Given this nation's penchant for perpetual wars...they can just live off the sweet money they get when the service member is KIA!

Hey, those kids can just turn around and enlist and they'll be covered again!

Sounds like they get to keep exact same coverage that they have today. What's the problem?

Check again. They went to the age 26 thing even before it was mandated by law. Tricare does lots of sucky things to bitch about but, this ain't one of 'em.
