Health Care Reform and You: Children Can Stay on Parents' Plan Until Age 26

Senator A helped pass health care reform two years ago. A lot of people do not know about all of the great things this law does.

One is the way it guarantees children the right to stay on their parents' health care plans until age 26. Children could graduate college and be kicked off their parents' plans prior to the reform. Finding work immediately after college can be difficult. Recent graduates have enough to deal with. They should not have to worry about the risks of not having health insurance. The reform mandates these recent grads are entitled to care. Now you do not have to worry about your child getting a serious illness and having to deal with the high costs of having no coverage.

This is just one of the reasons Senator A fought for the law. We will continue to examine the law over the next few days.
