Free Health Care Until You’re 26

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) says that if you were in foster care when you turned 18, you can get free health care until you’re 26.

This helps make sure former foster youth get the health care they need—just like other young adults who can stay on their parents’ insurance plans until 26.
