Young adults are fastest growing group of uninsured

tes--including Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah--have passed legislation to raise the age of dependency for most young adults for purposes of eligibility under private insurance plans.

"If we want to ensure a stable and healthy workforce for the future, we must address these gaps in health coverage for young people," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis. "While we ultimately need a federal solution for the problem of the uninsured, it is encouraging that states are taking action and providing models to improve coverage."
