when will the new healthcare reform that extends coverage until age 26 take effect?

Update:

well, my son is 21, and a full time college student....he does work, but most places. Our family insurance will drop him on may when he turns 22. He has been looking for a job that has insurance...will delay his graduation as he has yet another year to go. I guess he will turn 22 and be dropped before the new law takes affect...

Update 2:

Mrs C... he has worked his whole life, saving money to help offset the cost of college...i don't think he is a lazy.... We don't get any grants or government help to pay for his college either....we all pitch in and help to pay for it ourselves.
