[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 642972, member: 1550"] I found this on the internet. I'd explore the "you have to keep them on until 26" further. I always felt it was an option parents had. That is, at least, how I understood it.

Is it legal for my parents to discontinue my health insurance if I refuse to give them money towards it?[/B][/SIZE] Your parents can discontinue your health insurance whether or not you give them money. There’s no law saying they need to buy or provide it for you. Federal law now requires insurers to give parents the option of keeping their adult children, up to age 26, on their health plan. Coverage can’t be restricted or denied based on: [LIST] [*]Financial dependency [*]Residency [*]Student status [*]Employment status [*]Marital status [/LIST] However, this federal law doesn’t require your parents to place or keep you on their health insurance plan. If possible, talk your parents into at least keeping you covered until 2015. Beginning in November 2014, it’s open enrollment period for [URL='http://www.insure.com/health-insurance/individual-health-coverage.html']individual health insurance[/URL] plans for 2015 and you can buy your own plan If you are on your own to buy health insurance coverage, I suggest reading up on [URL='http://www.insure.com/health-insurance/basics.html']health insurance basics[/URL] so you’ll know how to navigate today’s health insurance system.
