A lot of people think health reform is just for the uninsured or for people who are sick. But one of the biggest proportions of people who are uninsured are young adults who are making the transition from college to a first job or graduate program. Now they can stay on their parents’ insurance.

Because of the Affordable Care Act, young adults can stay on their parents’ health insurance plan up to the age of 26. This is making a difference in the lives of millions of Americans like Erick, who received a surprise call from the President. President Obama calls Erick, a student in Michigan who has aspirations of becoming a physician. Because of the Affordable Care Act, he can stay on his mother’s health insurance while he prepares to attend medical school.
