<p>I felt like parents would be more knowledgeable on this matter. So I know that Obama's health care plan ensures free health care for students until they are 26? When is this policy going to be implemented? Sometime in the next few months?</p>
<p>Not “free” healthcare but dependents will be allowed to stay on their parent’s policy until age 26. I thought it will go into effect in a few months.</p>
<p>Yeah… not free. Your parents can still pay to keep you on their policy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And in our case it was over $500/month. D was able to get a much less expensive policy on her own through BC/BS even before this new legislation.</p>
<p>I am wondering if rates will go up if parent chooses to keep their kids on the policy until age 26?</p>
