my parents stay with me. my father has been unemployed since jan. 2013. . i have health insurance through my employer and it covers my wife. my parents are 62 and 57. can i include them in my health insurance coverage by applying on the website?
you generally won't be able to add your parents to your employer insurance. employers have rules on who is considered a dependent and the affordable care act does not change those rules. your parents can apply for their own coverage through your state's marketplace and may qualify for a premium subsidy based on their income.
