Extend to dental and vision insurance the same provision as medical insurance for kids until age 26

Created by D.B. on January 18, 2016

The Affordable Care Act contains a provision allowing children to remain on their parents' medical insurance until age 26, but this provision does not apply to dental or separate vision insurance.

The President should send a request to modify this one provision of the law, to Congress, to extend the coverage for all types of health insurance and by keeping it completely isolated from any other modifications in the law increase its chance of passage.
