Well now they have that possibility, regardless of how well you may or may not have provided for them. At some point they, and millions like them, will have to fend for themselves. They will have access to health care in ways ALL previous generations have never had. I'm willing to pay more, personally, to give that advantage to the next generation. Over 80% of Americans agree we need Health Care reform. We, the USA, have been trying to get this done for a 100 years. Through depressions, recessions, war's and budget shortfalls. If not now, WHEN? I'm willing to pay more so YOUR child can grow up with adequate Health coverage. Sounds like your not...

Please explain to me how the federal government is going to do a better job of controlling health care costs than the free market (which is where we should be moving toward, not away from). They do such a great job managing the Post Office and the IRS.
I agree that there is a need for health care reform but not the type of European socialist-style program that the democrats rammed through on Christmas Eve. They are doing nothing to control costs. They are trying to buy votes by supposedly insuring people that currently are not insured (the ones that get free health care now by arriving at a hospital ER). They are raising taxes now (2010) while no "reform" starts until 2014 (Senate bill) or 2013 (House). If "reform" doesn't start until 2013/2014, why not take more time and arrive at consensus legislation?
Please do not worry about my grown children. They have good jobs and can pay their own way. However, they also object to paying higher taxes for the liberal agenda of the Obama administration with their desire for a socialist economy and country.
