A new state law taking effect in Wisconsin on Jan. 1, 2010, allows young adults up to age 27 to remain on their parents’ health insurance plans unless they have access to cheaper plans through their employers.
Gov. Jim Doyle said he expects the law that passed as part of the state budget will help many young people who either can’t afford health insurance when they first start working or aren’t offered it.
The state had no estimates on how many people would be affected or how what may happen to rates. Insurance Commissioner Sean Dilweg he expects the increase in costs to be marginal.
To qualify, the young adults have to be single, not eligible for insurance through their employer, or be able to get on their parents’ plan for less money than through their work.
