More states are allowing children to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 30, according to the New York Times. The statists like the idea for some reason, but so do the insurance companies:

The trend stems from a concern that a healthy ? and profitable ?
segment of the population is dropping out of the insurance pool
. About
half of all states have studied such proposals, and at least nine have
passed laws, eight of them since 2003 and three just this year,
according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
