Getting Covered

What's the big deal about September 23? Well, it's the day that the dependent coverage provision - young adults being able to stay on their parent's insurance until age 26 - becomes law. It's the day that approximately 2 million young Americans will gain the security and peace of mind that comes with getting covered.

Some other important reforms will also take effect that day. Health plans will no longer be able to drop you from coverage ("rescission") if you get sick. Insurers won't be able to put lifetime limits on your benefits. And restrictive annual limits on benefits will also be banned. All in all, it's a pretty big deal (BFD).

So, we want to celebrate. On September 23, the Getting Covered campaign will be hosting events across the country to mark the day. Email us at Events@GettingCovered.org to find an event near you, and stay tuned for our Events page that will be up and running in the next few days. Want to host an event yourself?
