Young adults face increased healthcare costs through higher insurance premiums, increased out-of-pocket expenses for preventive care, and potential insurance coverage limitations. Employers may face higher health insurance claims and reduced workforce productivity. Consumers may benefit from increased focus on integrated mental-physical health services and preventive programs.
