<human>: Hey Reddit,

So I come from a relatively poor background, but have been fortunate enough to have some solid job offers to choose from for after I graduate in mid-2011. Included in these offers are some really great health insurance plans. The potential job locations are MA, NYC, and CA, while my uninsured parents live in FL.

I'm wondering under what circumstances I could hope to insure them under the provided "family" plans. Is it possible across country (doubtful)? If they move in with me but still earn their own income? Or only if I list them as dependents?

I figure this may very well be impossible, but I thought it was worth a shot. I know CA is instating their own universal health care regardless of what happens with Obamacare, so if they can manage moving out there that's always an option.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: can I add parents to employer-provided health insurance if they live across the nation? what about with me but aren't dependents? any other options for insuring them?
