A hard-won provision in the Affordable Care Act allows young people to buy their family's health insurance until age 26. But after that, people without employer-sponsored insurance face a complicated set of choices: search insurance exchanges, apply for Medicaid, or take a chance and remain uninsured.
Are you a young adult who is confused by navigating the exchanges you use to choose a plan? Did you buy a plan on the ACA exchanges only to discover that your medical care isn't covered? Did you get married or get a job just to get insurance? Have you decided not to get insurance?
