The provision of the Affordable Care Act that extends dependent coverage up to age 26 is known as the "Age 26 Rule." This provision allows young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they reach the age of 26, even if they are no longer living with or financially dependent on their parents. This has helped to increase the number of young adults who have health insurance coverage. Option A is not completely correct, as the Affordable Care Act requires firms with 50 or more employees to provide health care coverage. Option B is not correct, as the individual mandate requires individuals to maintain minimum essential coverage, not employers. Option D is not correct, as the Affordable Care Act actually requires insurance plans to cover certain preventive services without cost-sharing.
