17. Many young people receive health insurance benefits through their parents. Which of the following statements is true about health insurance coverage?
a.) You are covered by your parents' insurance until you marry, regardless of your age.
b.) If your parents become unemployed, your insurance coverage may stop, regardless of your age. You have a one in three chance that you already have no health insurance, regardless of your parentıs employment. Many policies will cover a child until he/she graduates from college. Some policies cover the youngster until age 25. But the bottom line is that once a child reaches 18, they are pretty much on their own. This so-called ³gap² group often chooses to go it alone, choosing answer c, and should any difficulty arise, deal with it on a sort of case-by-case basis.

d.) You continue to be covered by your parents' insurance as long as you live at home, regardless of your age.
