That鈥檚 why I believe in resolve, not hope.鈥�- Author: Bhavya Kalra --> Navigating Health Insurance While Studying at McGill "At McGill, [navigating health insurance] becomes even more complex as young adults, many of whom are navigating their own health and finances for the first time, converge on campus from around the world, bringing diverse health care experiences and expectations."
