A hard-won provision of the Affordable Care Act allows young adults to stay on their family’s insurance until age 26. But after that, those without employer-based insurance face a series of complicated choices, including whether to shop the insurance exchange. Apply for Medicaid or roll the dice and go uninsured.
Are you a young adult confused about navigating the exchanges used to choose plans? Have you bought a plan on an ACA exchange and found out it didn’t cover care? Did you get married or take a job just to get insurance? Decided to go without coverage?
