ObamaCare opponent: Im still on my parents' insuranceBY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 07/30/17 07:45 AM EDT
Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren admitted that she still benefits from a key feature of ObamaCare during a debate in which she blasted the healthcare plan.
Lahren said during a debate at Politicon Saturday with liberal comedian Chelsea Handler that she is on on her parents' healthcare insurance. The ability to stay on your parents' plan until 26 is a major aspect of the healthcare legislation.
Luckily, I am 24, so I am still on my parents plan, Lahren said during the debate, drawing boos from the crowd, according to The Daily Beast.
Lahren still slammed ObamaCare as being in a death spiral.

must identify her as "Lahren, a 24 year old who has health insurance through her parents thanks to President Obama's Affordable Care Act".

But she won't. Typical right-winger.

Now she does.

...she will become a "suffering Obamacare victim". This failed law took away my health insurance, boo-hoo!!!

And will have health insurance through her employer.
