With the new health care law, children under the age of 26 can choose to stay under their parent's health plan as long as they are not offered an employer-based health insurance. This provision enabled 2.5 million young adults to have insurance nationwide. In Colorado, nearly 44,000 young adults have insurance coverage through this provision as of June 2011. The new health care law allowed nearly 43,000 Medicare policyholders in Colorado to receive a $250 rebate check to help with prescription drug costs when they fell into the Medicare gap in 2010.
