Check with the college's health center - often they have a bare bones insurance policy that the kids can purchase that's not too expensive.
However, once you have a family policy, it doesn't cost any add'l $$ to add another child. IMHO, it is far safer to keep your kid covered by health insurance until they get a job and can get their own coverage then risk financial disaster by not having any insurance at all. That feature is one of the few things I agree with in this whole fiasco.
Check out the polls on MSNBC.com and FoxNews.com. Close to 1,000,000 votes tallied so far - and more than 65% of voters on both sites are NOT in favor of Obamacare. Approx 25% are in favor. No one understands what was really passed - how many political favors or "pork" were buried in that bill?
Bummer. I feel like I've been had.

The way I understand this it's only if they go to college and it is mandated to where they have to carry the insurance, in other words they don't have a choice. So wrong.
