Last Thursday, Gov. Jim Doyle sent out an executive order
clarifying an existing statute on health insurance to young adults.
This would allow citizens in their 20's to be covered under their
parents' health-care plan starting January 1 next year. Any
Wisconsin resident would be eligible if you are between 17 and 27
years of age, unmarried, and either not eligible for health
coverage through your employer or your premium contribution is more
than the amount your parents would pay to add you to their plan.
Currently, only childless full-time students can stay in their
parents plan till the age of 25. But with the passage of this new
policy, potentially 100,000 young adults in Wisconsin could
benefit.
