“What was the situation before this new age limit of 26?”
Years ago, I know a kid had to be a dependent and 21 or under. The idea was to allow coverage through the college years, I believe, which does make sense to me.
Thanks for the info. Was that an agreement between all insurance companies to cut it off at 21?
Exactly. 26 is beyond ridiculous. By the time I was 26 I had been allowed to vote for 8 years, eligible for military service for 8 years, could legally drink for 5 years, had been married for 2, was working on my second college degree and my parents were quite happy to have me out of the house... I’m fairly certain I wasn’t a “child” by any reasonable definition.
