20-somethings make up the largest population of uninsured and underinsured Americans. Two-thirds of uninsured young adults skip needed care due to high costs. This same demographic also has the lowest rate of cancer survival (19-39 year olds).  Hmmm…makes you wonder.
This is a great article from CNN Health about college grads and insurance. It’s an easy read and we would love your feedback!
Are you uninsured? If so, why? (finances, lack of information, not necessary, etc.) We want to hear from you! How You Live is in the process of developing a program to support young adults who are uninsured and your thoughts and experiences are valuable.
Yep, I’m uninsured. I had health insurance for a little bit when I was employed full-time, but now that I’m working part-time for someone else, and part-time for myself, I don’t have any health insurance.
I have looked at a co-op, but it is still just a little out of my reach. I admit I would probably wring my savings dry in order to pay for it if I didn’t think that, statistically, I probably won’t need it.
I take care of myself with homeopathic health supplements and other alternative medicines instead.
Thats me
Will go without needed medical/dental care because it cost too much.
I take care of myself through prayer, grace and mercyyyy lol
But serioulsy, In the back of my mind I just try to be careful and aware of the things that I can control and leave the rest to God.
