how long do parents have to insure children
If my daughter, who's 24, has a full-time job without health insurance, must I pay for her health coverage until she reaches age 26? One of the features of the Obama health care law concerns health insurance for young adults. Parents have a right to continue to insure their children on their health plans until age 26. But this is a right -- not an obligation. So Dawn, you can remove your 18-year-old son who has employer-based coverage from your health insurance immediately.
