How the Affordable Care Act works for college students
Especially after the economic challenges of the last two years, many college students have graduated and wondered how they would get healthcare coverage.
Before finding jobs and after being dropped from their parents' plans, recent graduates were often left in limbo.
The Affordable Care Act (which college student Adrienne Lowe explains in the video above) allows young adults who don't have insurance through employers to remain on their parents' health insurance plans, up until their 26th birthdays.
According to the White House, up to 2.4 million young adults could gain coverage through the new act.
