Can someone please explain to me what this means for a 21-year-old (still in college, working part-time) without insurance? I've been reading about this since morning but I don't really know how America works.
EDIT: I found this.
What exactly does this mean? Dependent kids in the family who can't pay for their own insurance yet can still get one? Is it free? Is it supported financially by some sort of fundings? How much is covered? Will it be taken away once said person hits 26 years old? Or will the person be forced to pay more money? What if they still can't afford to by then?

CNN Wrote:Dependent children: Your children will be covered until the age of 26.
"Children who are over 21 and may not have a job that pays their health insurance can still be on your policy," Borger said. "That's very important to a lot of families."
