TopicDependent Health Insurance
ContentIn Oklahoma, young adults are covered by their parent's health care coverage until the age of 23 and only if a student in college. I propose that Oklahoma change the mandated age to 26 because it is taking young adults so much longer to finish their higher education due to the extremely high cost of tuition. Availability of loans have diminished and young people are having to work more to help pay their way thus extending the time it takes to finish college. New Jersey is a state that has changed its age for insurability. This age group does not visit doctors regularly so the added cost should be minimal. Why can't we help these young adults keep their health insurance while they finish their degree?
