A hard-won provision of the Affordable Care Act allows young adults to stay on their family\u2019s health insurance until age 26. But after that, those without employer-sponsored insurance face an array of complicated choices, including whether to shop on the insurance plan exchange, apply for Medicaid, or roll the dice and go uninsured.<\/p>\n
Are you a young adult confused about navigating the exchanges used to pick plans? Have you bought a plan on an ACA exchange and found that it didn\u2019t cover care? Have you married or taken a job just to get insurance? Did you decide to go without coverage?<\/p>\n
Whatever your story, we want to hear from you for a project we are doing with The New York Times.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll read every response to this questionnaire, and we\u2019ll reach out to you if we\u2019d like to learn more about your story.
