The Slacker Mandate and the Safety Pin Generation
By Michelle Malkin
Wednesday, November 16 2016
Once the feds hand out a sugary piece of cradle-to-grave entitlement candy, it's almost impossible to snatch it back.
News flash, kids: Things aren't free. Things cost money. And "free" things provided to you by the government cost other people's money.
Donald Trump gets it -- somewhat. He vows to repeal Obamacare's most burdensome federal mandates that are jacking up the price of private health insurance. But he also plans to preserve the most politically popular provisions of the Orwellian-titled Affordable Care Act, including the so-called "slacker mandate." It's the requirement that employer-based health plans cover employees' children until they turn 26 years old.
That's right: Twenty-freaking-six.
