Introduction
The Catalyst Center is committed to identifying and supporting policy and program initiatives that work to reduce inequities in health insurance coverage and financing among underserved children with special health care needs (CSHCN).

Children are more likely to have health insurance when their parents are also insured. This fact sheet explores:

• The Medicaid expansion provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA);
• A state option to provide 12-month continuous eligibility to parents and other adults;
• How these policy initiatives have the potential to impact the insurance status of Latino CSHCN
