Two-Minute Warning The Young Invincibles: What The 18 - 34 Age Group MUST Know By March 31, 2014 To Get, Or Keep, Health Insurance

by Dennis Deruelle, MD

Overview

With 1,000 pages, a fumbled launch and moving deadlines, Obamacare can be both confusing and intimidating. Dennis Deruelle, MD, FHM not only read the law, but breaks it down into simple football terms to help 18-34 year olds (Young Invincibles) understand how to navigate their new options under Obamacare.

There are 19 million uninsured 18-34 year olds who make up the group called the “Young Invincibles.” Obamacare covets this group like the NFL covets top draft picks because they are so critical to the economics of the law. But does this age group need Obamacare? A recent poll by the Urban Institute found that 27% of this age group are still unaware of the Health Insurance Exchanges, which are designed to help them sign up and potentially get subsidized premiums.

In this 47-page mini-Ebook, ‘Two-Minute Warning, The Young Invincibles: What the 18-34 Age Group MUST Know by March 31, 2014’, Dennis Deruelle, MD, FHM uses the National Football League as the example to help this critical age group understand their options as well as the key questions to consider.

The mini-Ebook breaks this group into three segments, giving them each the keys to making an informed decision at game time. A companion website, www.dennisderuellemd.com provides additional information and resources and allows visitors to sign up for the free download.

In the wake of the Affordable Care Act, I consider the subject of the "Young Invincibles"--that group of 18-34 year-olds, and whether or not they sign up for insurance--critical to people who may not need to read my entire first book. Therefore, I have broken it out into its own mini-book, which I am offering completely free to all readers.
