THE SLACKER MANDATE: Michelle Malkin revisits the slacker mandate - the Obamacare requirement to allow “children” to be kept on their parents' insurance plan beyond the normal age of 23.

I’m sympathetic to Michelle’s argument, but ... I dunno. Isn’t this an entry point for arguing to extend “pooling” beyond employer-based health care plans. Why not consider “extended family plans” - husbands, wives, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, significant others? in a common insurance pool? Then from there to looser affiliations of the like-minded, based perhaps on the credit union model?

I’ll use any lever I can get to move away from employer-based health insurance.
