A hard-won provision of the Affordable Care Act allows young adults to stay on their family’s 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.
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’t cover care? Have you married or taken a job just to get insurance? Did you decide to go without coverage?
Whatever your story, we want to hear from you for a project we are doing with The New York Times.
We’ll read every response to this questionnaire, and we’ll reach out to you if we’d like to learn more about your story. We won’t publish any part of your response without following up with you first, verifying your information, and hearing back from you. And we won’t use your contact information for any reason other than to get in touch with you.
