Dear Abby: Are we bad people for considering dropping our adult child from our health care coverage after their tantrum over helping share the costs?
However, months later, the insurance company raised the monthly premium for all employees. When my husband talked to his adult child about helping to pay their share of the premium, they avoided an answer, and the issue was dropped. My husband recently again raised the subject and was met with the same avoidance and excuses about not working enough hours at their job. They are not a full-time college student, either.
My husband was never heavy-handed about it. He was hoping that, as a young adult, they would understand why they were being asked to assist with their health care. Instead, it has turned into a childish, disrespectful attack. My husband now wants to remove this adult child from his insurance entirely, and I agree, even knowing the possible ramifications.
