Jerry Seib, Wall Street Journal, explains why the coronavirus crisis will have a lasting impact both economically and politically on millennials
Millennials are seeking more professional help for health issues than ever, a new study revealed.
Conducted by United Healthcare and Health Action Council, the study explored factors and claims data from policyholders ages 27 to 42 — a total of 126,000 individuals.
