During the 2023 legislative session, GHIAA joined with our partners in the HUSKY 4 Immigrants Coalition to fight to expand HUSKY (Medicaid) eligibility for income-qualified people regardless of immigration status beyond the current age limit of 12. In addition to physical health, this coverage provides critical access to mental health care, a vital support given the crisis of depression and anxiety among adolescents. Through the advocacy of GHIAA and our allies, the age limit was raised from 12 to 15. Though this falls short of our goal of covering all children and young adults, it nevertheless represents progress, as thousands more young people who had been excluded now have access to the care they need and deserve.
