Also, anyone under 26 can remain on the parent’s medical plan, even if they should already get access to health insurance elsewhere, do not live with these or are married. • Do you qualify for a government health insurance plan? The ACA says you are covered when you have Medicare or Medicaid ; your children are covered in the event that they receive benefits beneath the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Medicare is typically eligible to anyone 65 or older, possess a disability or end-stage renal disease. Have the ear of a seven-month period (starting three months before your 65th birthday ) to join Medicare in the government’s Medicare. gov site.
