Health Insurance

Young people are allowed coverage on their parents' insurance plans till they are 26 years old.

According to Onlinemshidegree.adelphi.edu, more of this age group have insurance because of this.

This is good since many of them would not be able to afford coverage on their own due to significant debt loads and jobs which are below par in terms of hours and pay.

This age group, millennialmarketing.com reported, has health insurance less often than other groups, and has difficulty in achieving access to health care.
