Thx Cassie for the comment and thought on www.GradGuard.com/medical - remember that auto insurance coverage is just as important. You want to make sure not to get just the minimum coverage. If you are found at fault in an auto accident - your hard earned college graduate wages can be garnished - assigned to the guys car you crashed or the person you may have injured. Frequently the minimum coverage won't provide enough to either repair someones car or pay for their injuries. www.GradGuard.com/car provides you a choice of alternative auto plans. Progressive say's they do - but they just show you the prices. What you need to do is compare the actual coverages and see who you can buy it from at that moment. www.GradGuard.com/car can help.

New graduates reaching for their diploma should know they may also be reaching for a gap in their health insurance. Recent graduates have found their health insurance through school or a parent's plan, more often than not, expires when they step off the graduation stage and yet the health insurance reform allowing students to stay on their parent's plan will not take effect until September.
During this couple month gap graduates may want to look into short-term, also called catastrophic, health insurance. This type of coverage is designed for those between permanent health insurance plans and can be less expensive than signing another permanent plan while waiting to re-join a parent's health insurance. A great place for free quote comparisons and more information about this type of coverage is the GradGuard website: www.gradgaurd.com/medical.
