# 31 percent of young workers report being uninsured, up from 24 percent 10 years ago, and 79 percent of the uninsured say they don’t have coverage because they can’t afford it or their employer does not offer it.
# Strikingly, one in three young workers are currently living at home with their parents.
Our youth are increasingly going much longer than before to get their own coverage because their employer finds a way out of doing it, or the insurance companies charge much too much for them to get coverage on their own dime. This is getting WORSE. How in the world is a public option or single payer a detriment to the future of our youth and the health insurance industry's hold on our lives a trusted system by the anti-reformers?
