CNN Weeps For Adults Who Will No Longer Be On Their Parents' Health insurance plans

On Thursday, CNN lamented the challenges faced by fully grown people who can no longer rely on mommy and daddy for their health insurance. Here was the nutty CNN headline:

CNN reports:

A new crop of young people like Moniot are falling off their parents' insurance plans when they turn 26 — the age when the Affordable Care Act stipulates that children must leave family policies. They were then expected to be able to shop relatively easily for their own insurance on Obamacare marketplaces. But with Trump administration revisions to the law and congressional bills injecting uncertainty into state insurance markets, that task of buying insurance for the first time this year is anything but simple.


Pity the poor 26-year-olds who can’t call an insurance broker. They might have to make — no, it cannot be! — decision for themselves. They might have to shop around and ask people for advice. And without the genius of Obamacare technology to direct them, however will they cope? It’s not like 26-year-old people know how to use the internet or an iPhone. The infantalization of an entire generation of adults stands in stark contrast to the Left’s conviction that young children should be making decisions about their own sex. But if you’re 26, we can’t expect you to do things like pay for your own health insurance.

C-M is this hypocritical given that Canada has national health insurance and the 26 year old doesn't wouldn't have this concern in Canada?
