Turning 26 and having trouble finding health insurance? Tell us about it.

A hard-fought provision of the Affordable Care Act allows young adults to stay on their family’s insurance plan until age 26. But after that, those without employer insurance are faced with a series of complicated choices, including whether to shop the insurance plan exchanges, apply for Medicaid or roll the dice and remain uninsured.

Are you a young adult confused about navigating the exchanges used to choose plans? Have you purchased a plan on an ACA exchange and discovered that it doesn’t cover health care? Have you gotten married or taken a job just to get insurance? Have you decided to go without coverage?

Whatever your story, my team of reporters and I want to hear it. I am a longtime health journalist who has worked for both The New York Times and KFF Health News, an independent health policy news organization.

We will read every response to this questionnaire and we will contact you if we want to know more about your story. We will not publish any part of your response without first contacting you, verifying your information, and hearing from you. And I will not use your contact information for any purpose other than to contact you.
