New Graduates and Healthcare: Learn Your Options!

Graduating from college is an exciting step towards becoming independent. Yet many young adults don’t think about one other important step – having health insurance. Health insurance is very affordable for many people, often less than $100 a month, as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Many young adults are just one car accident or sports injury away from an expensive health care bill and potential bankruptcy. Join us for a free webinar to learn more about health insurance options for new graduates. A question and answer period will take place at the end of the webinar.
