ObamaCare opponent: Im still on my parents' insurance

ObamaCare opponent: I’m still on my parents' insurance
BY 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.”
