  <title><![CDATA[Bullinger Publishes Article on Medicaid Access for Former Foster Youth]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://spp.gatech.edu/people/person/bullinger-lindsey">Lindsey Bullinger</a>, assistant professor in the School of Public Policy, recently published an <a href="https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2021.00073">article</a> in <em>Health Affairs</em> titled &ldquo;The Affordable Care Act Increased Medicaid Coverage Among Foster Youth.&rdquo; In it, Bullinger and co-author Ang&eacute;lica Meinhofer discuss how expanding Medicaid led to an increase in Medicaid coverage for former foster youth who&rsquo;d recently aged out of the system.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Our findings imply that the ACA improved Medicaid coverage among former foster youth, with the largest effects from Medicaid expansion,&rdquo; wrote Bullinger and Meinhofer.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
