This studys purpose is to help young adult cancer survivors understand their health insurance and costs. People in this study are required to complete 3 online surveys over 12 months. Each survey will take about 20 minutes. Participants will be paid for completing each activity. Some participants will receive a digital informational booklet about health insurance while other participants will receive this booklet and also complete 4 health insurance support sessions with a navigator. Sessions will be completed on Zoom and last about 45 minutes.
