Health insurance literacy for young adults
Young adults are dropped from their parents health plans between age 19 and 24. Most people this age know practically nothing about health insurance and many could care less. Unless their parents lead them by the nose or purchase individual plans for them, they are at a loss.
Sponsored by Aetna and the Financial Planning Association, the interactive website, AllAboutTheBenefits.com, guides young workers through typical experiences with information and real world examples - - graduating from high school or college, interviewing and starting a new job and budgeting for new expenses. AllAboutTheBenefits.com focuses on topics such as:
* Bridging from their parents' or college's health plan to their own
* Asking questions about health benefits during a job interview
* Making sense of health benefits options
* Translating insurance lingo
* Budgeting for health expenses
