Consumer confusion plagues the healthcare insurance industry. According to the American Dental Association, 19 percent of U.S. adults have difficulty understanding health information. Other research shows that only a third of employees understand their benefits very well. Consumers are turning to social media for answers and over 40 percent say that the health information they find on social media influences their healthcare decisions. Plus, those  that are 18  through 24 years old are likely to use social media for health related discussions.
