<p>Consolation-
our DS was kicked off my employer plan in dec of the year he turned 23. That was correct for that time period and our plan.
I bought him a private health coverage plan for the ‘big stuff’ hospitalizations, surgeries, etc. He had that for one year as a grad student.
Then, I was able to put him BACK on my plan at age 24 due to the new provisions in health care reform. He finished his masters and is now working but no benefits yet.
He can stay on this time till end of month he turns 26 or when he can obtain coverage through his own employer. Hope that is soon!</p>
