Federal policy changes in Medicaid and health insurance marketplaces could cause up to 3.4 million young adults aged 19 to 24 in the US to lose health coverage by 2028, while others face substantially higher premiums amid rising living costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure.
