IRP Poverty Dispatch ? Young Adults and Health Insurance Coverage

More young adults have insurance after health care law, study says, By Sabrina Tavernise, September 10, 2012, New York Times: ?The share of young adults without health insurance fell by one-sixth in 2011 from the previous year, the largest annual decline for any age group since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began collecting the data in 1997, according to a new report released on Monday. The estimates are drawn from a federal survey of about 35,000 households. It did not ask how the newly insured obtained coverage, but the study?s author, Matthew Broaddus, a research analyst at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the increased coverage for young people was almost certainly due to a provision in the Obama administration?s Affordable Care Act that allows children to stay on their parents? insurance policies until their 26th birthday??
