That said, Millennials have a complex relationship with insurance that long predates Obamacare. In many ways, health insurance epitomizes the tension between childhood and adulthood. It represents so much that’s scary about being an adult – responsibility, complexity, expense, life’s harsh realities – and Millennials don’t want to grow up. I'm getting pretty tired of reading broad, sweeping generalizations like that. Every time I read something that says "millennials are still acting like children" next to some stat about how many are still living with their parents I usually let out a giant yawn. Maybe that's just me, but we have to put everything in context here. Previous generations were brought up in the aftermath of large ground wars. Of course their cultural zeitgeist was a little more, shall we say, independent. The other thing that struck me was the vaccine issue, though I'd suggest that that's because millennials haven't seen the real terrible effects of preventable diseases because they've been, well, prevented.
