How does the Affordable Health Care for America Act of 2009 help young people?
The Affordable Health Care for America Act of 2009 allows young adults to stay on their parents’ health care plans until their 27th birthday. This will help to cover the one in three young adults who are uninsured across the country. Young adults frequently change jobs, move, or hold part-time or temporary jobs. Under this bill, it doesn’t matter–you’re guaranteed a choice of quality, affordable health insurance options regardless of your employment situation.
