About this track
The American healthcare system is intentionally confusing. This track gives you the map: how insurance actually works, how to find affordable care, what to do when you don't have coverage, and how to access mental health support without breaking the bank.
What you’ll learn
- Understand insurance — premiums, deductibles, copays, networks — and read your own card
- Get covered through a parent's plan, a job, Medicaid, or the marketplace, and hit the enrollment windows
- Match a health problem to the right level of care and find an in-network doctor
- Speak up in the exam room, cut prescription costs, and find mental health support on any budget
- Read an EOB, spot billing errors, and use protections like the No Surprises Act and charity care
