[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3713489, member: 7248"] In general, kids are not more expensive to insure. They probably do go to the Dr. more, however it’s for a runny nose or fever or some other easily treated medical issue. The cost the are expensive are related to adults and generally aged adults. Treating heart disease, cancer and other chronic issues that land a patient in the hospital are ultimately the drivers for the high insurance premiums. The company I work for is self insured. They provide some information on insurance premium increase and the drivers listed above kill the premiums. A kid visiting the doctor probably costs less than $300, at the most. An adult admitted to the hospital for a heart attack could cost what? $500,000 or more? You tell me which age group drives insurance premiums. It’s not the number of visits, it’s the type of visit and course of treatment. The dreams of the liberals who want single payer and even the masterminds behind ubomacre, had in mind this: Enroll everyone and make the young and healthy members pay for the chronically I’ll. The problem is, the young and healthy didn’t want to pay or sign up for a premium to cover the chronically ill. [/QUOTE]
