Human Services and Appropriations Committees voted in support of expanding HUSKY to all income-eligible individuals regardless of immigration status up to age 18 through HB6616. While the bill was not called for a vote by the full legislature, the final budget incorporated these provisions and expanded eligibility to age 15. While this falls short of our goal of covering all children and young adults, it nevertheless represents progress, as thousands more young people who have been excluded will now have access to physical and mental health care. This was only possible because of the tireless advocacy of GHIAA leaders and our coalition partners.
