A member asked:
Will obamacare cover my children as dependents under my dental plan until they are 26 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not clear: It is still being worked out but it appears to vary state to state and depend on whether this is a grandfathered plan or one bought from the collective. Kids will have dental coverage but whether to age 26 may depend on where you live and whether you already have it.
