Yes, believe it or not, Texas State Mandate has been up to 25 for a while now, so now we up it to 26. There are NO stipulations regarding whether that 26 y/o lives with their parents, has a job, is married or anything else. woot! 
Not defending Obama....but he's talking about
his health care plan.
I know that RB's son can stay on hers until he's 24....I'm not sure if that means
until he turns 24 or until he turns 25. However, he has to be a full-time student, which he is. He works about 30 hours at a private club as a bartender, insurance is not offered.
When I was in college, there were student health insurance plans availble (not for care at the student health facility which was a mini-hospital with ER, a couple of floors of private hospital rooms, and mini-surgery for clean fractures and minor injuries requiring stitches). They were quite low priced and were paid for at the beginning of the school year in September and lasted for a year. I remember paying for them, my dad took me off of his company plan, because what I could get through the University was cheaper.
When my daughter went to UT in fall of '97, these types of plans were not available. My daughter worked more than 40 hours a week at a restaurant( the owner owns 15-16 restaurants, insurance is only available to corporate and management), and as a part-time nanny, during college. Neither of which offered a health insurance plan. My son just started back to college a couple of weeks ago, so I know student health plans are still not available. He also works 40 hours a week in a restaurant...no health care bennies.
If the colleges would go back to these types of health insurance programs for students, Obama's plan would not be an issue. Insurance companies would make money, and the rest of the country wouldn't be paying for coverage for people up to age 26 if they are in college, trade school, etc.
