California medical coverage
According to the HR person in my office, California has recently
enacted a law that requires already existing medical coverage on their kids to be maintained until age 23, regardless of educational status or anything else. Supposedly, this was advanced by the insurance industry to eliminate the need to verify people's educational status, etc. I guess the theory goes that if everyone is covered, it doesn't matter and it's less hassle for them. Has anyone else heard of this? My first reaction was that it doesn't sound right, but I also know some states make divorced parents support beyond 18, so I know the concept is there. I tried to search the state's website but couldn't come up with anything. Any knowledge on this or suggestions on where to look would be most appreciated. Thanks. |

Don't know about health insurance, but in Colorado, a child is 18 until he/she turns 19, meaning child support continues untill the 19th birthday, not the 18th birthday as in some states...

Such a statute would have been widely covered in the news. Try a search on Google.

Chris Owens Only if you consider a single line following the "Today's listing of puppies born at the animal shelter" section back on page K-37 to be "widely covered"... Maybe you're right, though. Some lefty could get a lot of votes bragging about sponsoring such a bill "for the CHILDREN"... But nobody would give a damn about the unfairness of it. Mel Gamble |
