[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 1077135, member: 4656"] Last try, then I give up. IslandFox stated that everyone was paying "children or not" to cover the up to 26yr olds. Yes, I agree that increasing rates is one way to cover more people, as you said, but they didn't do that - there is also another way....reduce current benefits to cover additional costs, which is what they did/do by not paying for children's wellness/physicals every other year. I actually thought it was an ingenious and very equitable solution because it only effects participants who have children - they were the ones benefiting from the new legislation covering older children and benefits to younger children were reduced to offset the cost.
