You can't stay on your parents' health insurance after 26 primarily because the Affordable Care Act (ACA) set the limit at age 26, requiring insurers to cover adult children until then, but once you hit that age, you "age out" and lose eligibility, needing your own coverage like employer plans, the Health Insurance Marketplace, or Medicaid. While most plans end coverage at 26, some states offer exceptions for staying on a plan longer, and losing this coverage is a "qualifying life event" for a special enrollment period to get new insurance.
