Before the Affordable Health Care Act, college students did not have many choices when it came to healthcare.  While most college students remain healthy, there are many that need health insurance coverage for emergencies or other health issues.  Now they can decide to remain on their parent’s plan, sign up for health plans through their college, purchase subsidized coverage through Obamacare, purchase a catastrophic insurance policy or apply for insurance through Medicaid.  Of course, they can always skip it altogether.

For more information on each option read, “6 Health Insurance Options for College Students.”
