When you're in your 20s (and likely in good health), health insurance doesn't seem to be that much of a priority. But it's important to have in order to avoid overwhelming debt that can arise from everyday accidents to life-threatening conditions.
I love what ehealthinsurance did to educate recent grads about health insurance. Check out their "Should I Stay or Should I Go" article. It discusses whether or not to stay on your parents' health insurance policy after college--or if you should go on your own. Whether your first job has health insurance benefits or not, be sure to read the article. It's easy to read so you "get" the concepts related to health insurance.
I know, health insurance is boring grown-up stuff--but it is important grown-up stuff, all the same!

Hi Kristen,
That's a great post! It's amazing that children can stay on their parents insurance until age 26, even if they are married!
There are definitely reasons to stay on your parents insurance. But, I am an advocate for getting your own policy as soon as you can (while you're healthy) to protect your insurability.
