it turns out that Debra J Saunders does like one part of the Senate Finance Committee Health Reform Bill. Which is kind of a miracle considering that she usually manages to follow the Republican Party line on everything.

Wonks Anonymous is in awe of her mavericky independence. No brands on that girl's butt.

The part she likes is an alternative to the house proposal which would allow parents to cover their adult children under family policies. It would permit super duper high deductible policies - that would be more than the ordinary,$5,595 of the basic Baucus bill - that might be affordable to young people. Provided they never had to use health care.

This is where a proposal by the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., to sell low-premium, high-deductible "young invincibles" policies to young adults comes in handy. As Time magazine reported, such policies "do not constitute full coverage." But if crafted correctly, Zuckerman told me, "the young-invincibles plans could be a good option."

Wonks Anonymous would like to observe when someone uses the word crafted to describe a policy they are up to no good.

In other words all you kids out there would be better off paying for your own health care and avoiding the doctor while paying monthly premiums for a policy that will leave you bankrupt in the event of a serious illness. That is unless mom and dad step in - Wonks Anonymous hopes that are able - to pick up the tab.

This is far superior to letting mom and dad continue to pay actuarially fair rates for comprehensive family coverage through their employer. Because why?

Because it will teach you a valuable life lesson. Your place in this world is to write regular checks to financial companies in exchange for dubious, if not non-existent, services.

But please do not think of this as serfdom. That would never happen in our free market economy.
