What am I/are students supposed to do about health insurance when they turn 23?

It just really hit me that in… in 9 months I will be out of health insurance. I’ll still be a student for a while, what am I supposed to do? I know a guy who didn’t have health insurance, and broke his foot, so he just left it. Just… broken.

And I’m wondering, because this seems like a serious societal flaw, what I’m supposed to do for the extra year or so before I get a “real” job.

Thanks.
