Big news for college grads from Pennsylvania—the PA State House and Senate have both passed a bill that would allow young adults to stay on their parents' insurance all the way up until age 30. To qualify for coverage under the proposed law, the individual must be a resident of Pennsylvania or a full-time student with no spouse and no dependents. A spokesperson for Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he supports the bill and plans to sign it into law soon.

As I mentioned yesterday, I too am a freshly-minted college graduate... from Pennsylvania. My internship at the New America Foundation has been an awesome experience, but I'm still looking for a job that will provide me with that mythical goal of all graduates: a salary and benefits. I've spent a lot of my time thinking, talking and writing about health reform during this past semester, so it's pretty cool to have it work in my favor. And, leaving school for the "real" world and the very real recession, it's a big relief to know that in the interim between graduation and employment, I won't have to worry about becoming one of the  millions of uninsured we've been telling you about. The bill will take effect 90 days after it is signed into law. I have coverage until August, so for me, health care reform can't come soon enough!
