A reminder to those 18-26 year old's covered under their parent's insurance

You could be kicked off your parent's plan if trump and republicans overturn the ACA. Please vote!

The Affordable Care Act requires plans and issuers that offer dependent child coverage to make the coverage available until a child reaches the age of 26. Both married and unmarried children qualify for this coverage. This rule applies to all plans in the individual market and to all employer plans.

1. Scream it far and wide

A goof at work hates "Liberal" Biden. This same doofus has ACA Obama care coverage. Ignorance is bliss.

2. Yep. Trump wants to kill them too.

3. I wonder just how many 18-26 year olds

actually worry about health insurance?

4. 1 in 6 young adults have a chronic condition like asthma, diabetes or cancer

And nearly half of uninsured young adults report problems paying medical bills.

8. In a pandemic, plenty of them do. And we have serious outbreak of depression in the young...

the ACA gave us mental health coverage back...

5. K&R

This is an important point, imo.

6. My daughter is 25

She lost her insurance when she graduated college on 2019. She was covered under my husband’s state retiree insurance and they only cover kids while they are in school. She hasn’t been able to get a job with benefits. Her part time jobs are careful to schedule her hours so she’s not eligible. Thank goodness for the ACA.

7. I remember having to pay out of pocket for a policy when I was that age

Had a BCBS policy through Farm Bureau for $90 a month, most young people back then just went without insurance. It was a big deal getting your health insurance at a new job after 90 days also.

9. Hopefully we don't go back to those "bad old days"

No one should have to do without needed asthma or diabetes meds, or even basic care.
