Young Adults Can Stay on Parent's Plan; PHAN to Host Conf Call

     Did you know that as a Health Care Organizer, I get great health care benefits?  It's true.  And thank goodness ~ because for years I was one of the nearly 18.9 million young adults living in this country without health insurance. 

     According to Young Invincibles, nearly one-third of all uninsured people are young adults.  The organization also stipulates that in 2000 6 young Americans died every day, because they didn't have access to affordable health care.

20-somethings may stay on family health insurance

Young adults age 19-29 will be able to retain health coverage on family insurance plans under a bill approved by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives May 12.

Nearly 44 percent of the nearly 1 million uninsured, working-age adults in Pennsylvania are in this age group, according to an Insurance Department survey completed in 2008. That percentage has likely grown during the recession as high school and college graduates scramble to find jobs with benefits during a time of rising unemployment.
