Health insurance survey

Oregon’s public university students are being surveyed to gain a better understanding about how health insurance coverage impacts them.

Current research shows:

  • Adults ages 19-34 represent 39% of the uninsured in the U.S.
  • 23% of uninsured individuals needed care but did not get it due to cost
  • 26% of uninsured individuals postponed seeking care due to cost

Participation in this survey will be used to help provide affordable health insurance for these students.
