We could write a book about this short article:
1) explaining complex insurance terms— ok good
2) using a healthy white married man with f-t employment and a wife with access to excellent benefits at work as your lead example — wow *lots* to unpack there: nytimes.com/2022/09/30/bus…

3) Array of brokers & financial advisors weighing in as experts.
4) None of the 26yos featured in the article are parents, which is telling.
5) Are we finally witnessing a normalization of ACA marketplace plans as part of ins landscape rather than a new experiment?

A while back my brilliant colleague @jmullig5 and I wrote an article about the “young invincibles” and what it means over decades to build the insurance “system” around a presumed young white healthy male consumer. It’s long been a fraught concept: read.dukeupress.edu/jhppl/article-…
Certainly, 26 as cutoff for being on parents’ insurance, something that I thought was a pretty big change back in 2010, has been normalized & accepted. I don’t have to provide food or shelter to my kids after 18, but my employer has to provide health insurance if I ask them to?
It is a good workaround for getting a lot of people coverage in our current system and I am not against it at all… but it is a more radical shift than it got credit for at the time.
