America's younger workers find the open enrollment process so difficult that 12% said they'd rather have a root canal than select health insurance. Nearly one-quarter would rather sit in the middle seat on a three-hour flight and 10% would rather break their arm, according to a survey commissioned by Justworks.
More than half of Millennials and Gen-Zers (collectively Zillennials) who participate in open enrollment said they have blindly chosen a health insurance plan in the past because they didn't understand the complicated terms and definitions. This is more than double the percentage of Gen X and older adults who say they have done so, the survey found.
