Ask Congress to increase the age limit to 30 for young adults to stay on their parents' health insurance.

Created by J.M. on September 27, 2011

Currently, young adults less than 26 years old are allowed to enroll in or stay on their parents' health insurance because of the PPACA, the new health care law. This has resulted in a large increase in the number of young adults covered by health insurance in the United States.

The Administration should ask Congress to increase this age limit to 30 years, thereby allowing young adults who would otherwise be disenrolled when they reach 26 to keep their insurance, and allowing more young adults to have insurance.
