dc.description.abstractThe US healthcare system is unequal—without universal coverage some individuals, particularly poor and/or underemployed persons, lack access to quality care. While this situation is well-documented, some areas remain unexamined, including coverage among young adults transitioning to adulthood. In my research, I address this gap by interviewing college students about the causes of their insurance gaps and the associated challenges and risks they face living without healthcare coverage. By taking this approach, my research documents the plight of young adults in the US who are precariously transitioning to adulthood.
