Hey, it's the company that set it up in such a way that covering me costs one amount and covering "family" costs another. It doesn't matter, from a paycheck standpoint, if I have 1 kid or 18 (as far as those premiums are concerned]

Oh - and no insurance company is giving out free services. Check their balance sheets - they make quite a profit.

My point was that there is no difference between providing those services to my daughter if the only difference is under which roof she lives. The idea that they'll cover her if she lives here, but not if she lives so much as next door highlights the "''Splain me that one" aspect of this rule.

As I'm no longer going to be working for this company in a few weeks (according to everything I'm hearing) it'll be a moot point but the rest of the employees are certainly going to be interested in the outcome.

What matters most to me is if, indeed, the "cover them until 26 even if not a student and not a home" bit *is* a regulation (as of 9/2010 according to one poster) as that WILL be something I have to stay on top of. Things are a bit complicated since my divorce and my older daughter's graduation from college.
