Am I allowed to deny my employer's health insurance?

I've heard rumors that the new health care reforms don't allow individuals to stay covered under their parents health insurance if their employer offers it. Since health insurance has been pushed to cover children up to 26, being 21, does anyone know if I'm allowed to deny my employers health insurance? I can't find a definitive answer anywhere online.

If you are 19 or older and offered insurance through your employer, you are no longer allowed to be on your parents policy. You can deny your employer's coverage and purchase individual insurance, if you would like.
