If COBRA ends, can a dependent under age 26 qualify for parent’s coverage?

UnitedHealthcare answered:If a dependent under age 26 exhausts their COBRA coverage, it is a qualifying event to move to a parent’s health insurance plan. This also may be a special enrollment event under HIPAA (e.g., loss of other coverage).

U. Horace Cartwright demonstrates how health care coverage is now a family affair (at least, up to age 26).
