Low income and middle class
college students between the ages 18 and 26 who are living
away from their parent’s home, must realize that health care is not a
cost they can overlook.

Yes, college
students are considered a low risk for most medical issues, but accidents do
happen.

A trip to the emergency room
for something as simple as a sprain, without medical coverage can financially
stifle you from returning to school. A
two to three day stay in a hospital could literally have you moving back into
your parent’s house.

With these inflated medical
costs today, Covered California will begin on Jan. 1 2014, and will make healthcare
insurance available even to the poorest of students.

For information on Covered
California, you can call 800-300-1506.

You can also obtain
information on Covered CA at the Pinole Library at 2935 Pinole Valley Rd., Pinole, Calif. on Nov. 26 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the drop-in table.

This is something you should
not miss; tell your friends.
