re: Health Insurance Question

According to this info, if your parent's plan is through his/her employer and you are offered a plan through your own employment, you have to enroll in your own. I remember a friend telling me this about her son having to do this.

Under the Affordable Care Act, you can now be insured as a dependent on your parent’s health insurance if you’re under age 26. The only exception is if your parent has an existing job-based plan and you can get your own job-based coverage.
