Family Plus Health Care Act of 2024

Bill 118 hr 10098, also known as the "Parent Coverage Extension Act," aims to make changes to title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act. The main goal of this bill is to extend group health plan and health insurance coverage to parents of enrollees who are not eligible to enroll in the Medicare or Medicaid program.

Currently, many individuals who are enrolled in group health plans or have health insurance coverage are unable to extend that coverage to their parents if they are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. This can leave parents without access to affordable healthcare options.

The Parent Coverage Extension Act seeks to address this issue by allowing enrollees to include their parents on their group health plan or health insurance coverage, even if the parents are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. This would provide parents with access to the same healthcare benefits as their children, ensuring that they are able to receive necessary medical care without facing financial hardship. Overall, the bill aims to improve access to healthcare for parents who are currently unable to enroll in Medicare or Medicaid, ensuring that they are able to receive the care they need to stay healthy and well.
