I’m 26 & Getting Kicked Off My Parent’s Health Insurance. What Now?

If you're approaching 26 years old and you're still using your parents' health insurance coverage, you need to make a plan. Your parents may not be allowed to cover you as a dependent under their health plan once you turn 26. Yet, at 26 years old, many young adults still don't have a stable career with a job that provides health insurance. If this describes your situation, you have several options for getting health insurance when you turn 26 years old. Some of those options are time-limited, so check out your options now and make a plan to avoid a gap in coverage or missing a deadline.
