Survey: Parents will drop their college grads from health plans
Most parents of college graduates say they won’t pay to keep their children on their health insurance plan until age 26, despite a provision of the health-care overhaul law that says they can do so, the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal reported. That is the conclusion of a national survey of college students, graduates and parents conducted in April by global insights firm Kelton Research and sponsored by eHealthInsurance Services Inc. of Mountain View, Calif. More than 4 in 10 (43 percent) parents of college students or grads under age 26 said they would only keep their adult children on their health insurance plan if it cost them nothing to do so.
