The Family Plus Health Care Act of 2024 allows adults enrolled in employer health plans or individual health insurance to add their parents to their coverage, provided those parents are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. The bill modifies federal tax law to make employer and self-employed health insurance contributions for parents tax-deductible, treating parents similarly to how dependent children are currently treated for tax purposes. This applies to biological parents, stepparents, and adoptive parents. The law would take effect after the date of enactment with no specific sunset date mentioned. The legislation essentially extends family coverage options beyond children to include aging parents who fall outside the Medicare and Medicaid eligibility requirements.
