Bill information
Summary
To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to ensure health insurance coverage continuity for former foster youth.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change Medicaid (a federal health insurance program for low-income people) to help young people who were in foster care keep their health insurance after they age out of the system. Foster youth often lose coverage when they turn 18 or 21 and leave state care, making them uninsured and vulnerable. The bill aims to create a smoother transition so they don't lose medical coverage during this difficult time. It is currently in the early stage after being introduced in Congress by lawmakers from both parties.
