Today’s college graduates are facing one of the dimmest job markets in decades. Having received health coverage through their university, many are left uninsured while they seek employment. Even for those gaining employment, there is often a waiting period of several months to get coverage through their new employer. Despite the fact that many of these young and healthy individuals feel they have no need for health insurance, the truth is that it only takes an accident or unexpected illness to ruin them financially before their career has even begun. For these reasons, NextStudent offers short term health policies that will cover these individuals as they make the transition from student to professional. Whether it takes one month or six, the company wants to provide a flexible, affordable way for people to protect themselves. Do you think that this age bracket will take advantage of this type of program? Or is more education and encouragement required to convince the “young and invincible” to protect themselves?
