Many College Graduates require insurance
Source: azcentral.com
For Jeri Haley, like a lot of other college graduates, she lost her health insurance the day she received her degree.
Insurers naturally end coverage for youthful adults covered by their parents' insurance while they get a diploma. It's a revolution that fears graduates and their parents alike. For fresh graduates, it means going "bare," no longer enclosed by their parents' or schools' plan and not having a job with reimbursement yet.
For parents, it means they might be saddle with thousands of dollars of unforeseen medical bills.
Haley, 22, just graduated with a bachelor's degree in government, and as she pounds the asphalt road for a job, if possible in a political campaign, she fears about being uninsured.
She's in good health but is sensitive to to ant bites and dreads how much an ant-related journey to the emergency room might cost.
"Or if I'm in a car accident, knock on wood," she said.
So far, her alternatives are going with no insurance or paying $908 upfront for a six-month plan with a $250 deductible. "That's a lot of money. I've got scholar loans to pay now."
