Health Care Reform: Young Americans

The World

As part of our week-long series of health care roundtables, we’re talking with young people. They’re coveted by health insurers, but with low salaries and high resilience, they’re often the least likely to buy in. We hear from Savlan Hauser, an architect in Oakland, California who has been buying her own catastrophic health insurance plan for the last three years; Nik Bonovich, a freelance journalist in Sacramento, California, who’s been buying premium health insurance since February; and Golnar Adili, who’s been going without health care coverage for the past three years.
