Pumps' Perplexities

Here we go again.....Is it 18 years of age or 21?....
I guess it all depends what you want to do
and the cost of the insurance to do it......

The people who run the universities and
colleges want the age to be 18 so that the new
students will not "binge" drink when they
arrive and are away from mom and pop for
the first time.....The insurance companies
convinced the government to set the age at 21....
Less accidents and "pay outs" they say.....

But then the insurance companies do not
want to cover anyone over 18 on mom and
pop's health policy.......

You can get married, have children, fight
in a war and vote at 18 just as long as you
let the insurance companies make money
by not giving you any coverage, unless it
is at a "premium" and very high price......

Ah, the good olde days when you could
drink at 18, get cheap car insurance and
use a city hospital for free.....Pumps
