Health Insurance and Graduation

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Once you graduate from Wheaton, depending on your parent’s health insurance provisions, you may be faced with the prospect of not having any health insurance coverage.  Now this blog is not meant to address Health Care Reform issues, however, it’s smart of think about the consequences of going without insurance (which can establish a pre-existing condition) or how to maintain health care coverage while looking for full time employment.

The Life 101 section of our website has resources specifically chosen to help you answer these types of post-graduation questions including:  Understanding Insurance; Getting Healthcare without a Job; Choosing a Bank; Tackling Taxes and How to Find an Apartment.
