eHealth, Inc. commissioned this nationwide survey to better understand consumer behavior and expectations following the passage of health reform legislation; The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This report summarizes findings of a telephone survey conducted among a random national sample of 1,016 adults 18 years of age and older, living in private households in the continental United States. Interviewing for this survey was completed by Opinion Research Corporation during the period April 1 – 3, 2010. See the Methodology section of this report for additional information about the margin of error for this study and its applicability to the surveyed sample of adults.
In a new survey from eHealthInsurance (www.ehealthinsurance.com), one-in-five (21%) adults, ages 18-30, who graduated college in the past three years indicated that they were currently uninsured, and one–in-three (37%) stated that they did not have health insurance the day after they picked up their diploma. These results are part of “Real Life 101,” eHealthInsurance’s annual national poll of college students and recent graduates.
According to the August 2009 data, the average individual premium was $164 per month, the median premium was $134 per month and the average deductible was $2,477.

Fifty-three percent (53.8%) of the primary individual policy holders were men. The average age of an individual policy holder was 35.6 years old.
