More Reports, Same Results: Young Adults are the Most Underinsured Group

A new report by the Center for Studying Health System Change shows that young adults (19-39) have seen a large drop in insurance coverage, especially employer insurance. An article in the Enquirer covers this report:

==
While more uninsured children are getting health coverage from expanded government programs, more adults are going without insurance, especially younger workers, according to a national study of health insurance trends released Tuesday. Those young workers are not likely to get much help soon because experts say budget-pinched states are more likely to cut Medicaid programs than to expand them.

We want you to get involved and take action to help stem this problem among young people. Go to our action page and send a message to the candidates for President and members of Congress that young people deserve insurance coverage too. Read the letter and take action.

I found a prescription discount card that uninsured young adults can use to save money at the drugstore. It’s at www.rxdrugcard.com. The membership fee is only $4.50 a month. The savings are up to 80% depending on the drug. Drug prices are posted to check before enrolling. And they can cancel when they get a new job with health insurance benefits.
