After writing that article about high school  graduates needing insurance, I looked a little further into the statistics and was shocked by what I found. Last year, 1 in 3 young adults were without health insurance. These young adults are the future of our nation, and yet they go uninsured. We need their health and their strength to build a better nation for the future. What must they think of the system to deny themselves access to safety. Could it be that they simply do not have enough money? If so, isn’t there a way for them to be more easily insured. I will be looking more into this topic over the weekend and willlet you know what I’ve found out  some more current information about this years  estimated totals.

These were the sources for my article:
