    Did they raise the age at some point in the last couple decades? I had to enroll in community college longer to keep mine when I couldn’t find a job that offered coverage and that was when I was only like 19 or 20.

      Yeah I think maybe it had something to do with the ACA. There’s a caveat which I did not mention in the other comment, and it is, of course, tax related. I do believe you have to be in a position where you can be claimed as a dependent on your parents’ taxes. So long as that’s true, you can be on their health plan until 26, at which time you have to get your own.
