Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell recently signed into law four healthcare reform bills that included both the creation of a Mini-COBRA plan and amendments to the state's insurance laws allowing uninsured, single, adult children up-to-age 30 to be covered under their parents' health insurance plan.
Unlike the federal COBRA subsidy, the Pennsylvania Mini-COBRA program is not retroactive. Only employees terminated between July 10, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2009 are eligible for the federal subsidy to help pay for 65 percent of their coverage.
"...2008 research revealed that 40 percent of the total uninsured population of Pennsylvania is between the ages of 19-29."
