Abstract
Most youth leaving the child welfare system seem unable to transition to other forms of health insurance coverage. Even those that do acquire coverage, do so after an inordinate period of time. Enacting existing extensions of Medicaid coverage until age 21 for foster care youth is necessary to provide the resources to address the considerable health and mental health needs among these youth.
