BY-NC-SA The Y.I. Want Change coalition of more than 20 youth organizations is urging the Senate to go even further to make reform that works and is affordable for young Americans. The bill unveiled by the Senate extends coverage to millions of the uninsured, many of whom are young people. It includes a public option, and allows young adults to stay on their parents’ policies until the age of 26.
In a press release, the coalition stated that it continues "to be concerned about what began as the so-called “Young Invincible” plan, a high-deductible catastrophic plan now available to young Americans up to age 30 and any American who would have to pay more than 8 percent of their income in premiums."
Some members of the coalition believe that such a plan would create two classes of insured people in the country, with one class being akin to having insurance in name only.
