A hard-won provision of the Affordable Care Act allows young adults to remain 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 around on insurance exchanges, apply for Medicaid, or take their chances and go uninsured.
Are you a young adult confused about how to navigate the exchanges used to choose plans? Did you buy a plan on an ACA exchange and find out it didn't cover care? Did you get married or take a job just to get insurance? Did you decide you didn't want coverage?
