For Young Adults, Health Insurance Is Available for About Same Monthly Cost as A Cell Phone

We always hear how medical insurance is expensive and unaffordable, and that's why there are 50 million uninsured Americans (details here). But almost 21 million of those uninsured are between the ages of 18 and 34, which is 41% of all uninsured (see CD post below or here). At least in Michigan for young adults between the ages of 18 and 30, insurance is available for as little as $49.30 per month through Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Michigan, for its Young Adult Blue program (details here), which is about the same monthly cost as a cell phone.
