In order to get coverage for students, universities are doing compulsory health insurance. The University of Massachusetts requires each student to purchase some form of insurance, whether it is an individual health insurance policy or by the university.
In addition, the University of Minnesota will check up 15 percent of their student for proof of insurance each semester. Students who do not provide proof within three weeks of the audit will be compensated $ 07 for this semester and is automatically covered by the collective system of universities.
But after graduation, things change.
Surprisingly, young adults are more likely to go without health insurance than any other age group. According to people from the Office of the US Census between the ages of 18 and 24 had the highest rate of uninsured in 08, reaching 28.9 percent. People aged 25 to 34 held the unemployment rate ranked second at 26.5 percent.
Much of it is that when a young university graduates adult, he or she loses coverage of a parent. So to get coverage, the graduate must find a new job or buying individual health insurance plan. But many young people go without insurance coverage - because they do not have a job, do not believe they can afford coverage on their own, or do not believe they have need.
