So you're turning the big 2-6. (It's ok—26 is the new 18!) And you've probably heard a lot of buzz about the Obamacare's "open enrollment period" that just ended.

But did you know turning 26 could actually be another opportunity for you to get health care coverage? That's if you are on your parents' health insurance plan (thanks to the Affordable Care Act, you now can stay on until your 26th birthday). This is one of the "special enrollment periods" or #EnrollmentMoments that allow Americans—typically younger—to get covered during the 7.5 months between open enrollment periods.

And with the new health care marketplaces, shopping for coverage is simple and easy —just ask the millions of Americans who have already enrolled in plans. If you're coming off your parents' plan at your 26th birthday, you'll typically have 60 days to find coverage that works for you.

Check out these celebrities who will celebrate their 26th birthday this year!
