Problem
The number of young adults in today's society who are covered by insurance for all of their physical and mental health issues has continued to decrease within the last 5 years.
​
"Access, quality, and equity implicationsExpanding coverage would disproportionately help people on low incomes, who make up two thirds of the uninsured, thus increasing equity in access to health care and health outcomes. In the US market based system, gaps in health cover contribute to underuse of effective services."
