"Health Care: Considering Foster Youth Perspectives About Health Care"
When: December 10, 2013 at 2:00pm EST
Approximately 26,000 youth age out of foster care each year across the country, most of them eligible for the new Medicaid Expansion through the Affordable Care Act. Do you and the adult supporters you work with think you're ready to help young people navigate the system?
The Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010 and finally youth from care will have access to parts of the law that are especially helpful to them! Join FosterClub Training and Policy Coordinator and student of the Affordable Care Act, Tim Bell, as he walks you through what he's learned about "Obamacare", its implications for foster youth, Medicaid Expansion, as well as what young people are saying (or not saying) about the new health care law.
