When can your adult child go back on your insurance plan?
I’ve talked before about some of the issues you should address related to your adult children and insurance. Today I just want to point you to a great article from The Gainesville Sun on the gap in coverage some adult children are facing since they can’t be added back to their parents policies until health plans renew coverage. You can find it here.
A 20-something responds to the NYT
Back in mid-August, the New York Times published an article entitled What Is It About 20-Somethings?: Why are so many people in their 20s taking so long to grow up?. It’s an interesting — if very long — read, especially if you have adult kids at home and are struggling to understand how you ended up in this situation.
Loads of people have written response to this piece online, but the first I’ve found that I’ve felt is worth linking to is from Charles Jeffrey Danoff of danoff.org. As a twentysomething back in his parents’ nest, he shares some great insights — and tidbits from an important conversation with his mother — that offer a great perspective from a thoughtful adult child at home. It’s worth a read, and you can find it here.
