Am I able to add my parents to my insurance policy? I just started my first job that comes with health benefits. I live at home with my parents right now and they don't have insurance.

Health insurance will only apply to:

- your spouse
- dependant children
It will not extend to other family members like parents and siblings.

www.healthcare.gov
to see what affordable options they have.While
