Under Obamacare, until what age can individuals stay on their parents' health insurance plan?

Under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, individuals can remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they reach the age of 26. This provision was designed to help young adults who may be going through transitions in their education, employment, or financial situations by allowing them to retain their coverage on their parents' plans. This age limit applies regardless of whether the young adult is living with parents, financially dependent on them, or eligible to enroll in their own employer-sponsored health plan. The goal of this provision was to improve access to health care for young adults, thereby ensuring they have the necessary time to transition into stable health insurance arrangements as they reach adulthood.
