Thinking of forgoing health insurance? Dont. Its not worth the
risks to your well-being and your wallet, experts say. Class work
and finals arent the only things that end when a college grad
swings that tassel over the mortarboard. For many students who have
had health insurance through a parents employer or the college they
attended, that coverage generally stops on or shortly after
graduation day.
