Young adults ages 19 to 29 are one of the largest segments of the U.S. population without health insurance: 13.2 million, or 29 percent, lacked coverage in 2007. They often lose coverage at age 19 or upon high school or college graduation: nearly two of five (38%) high school graduates who do not enroll in college and one-third of college graduates are uninsured for a time during the first year after graduation. Twenty-six states have passed laws to expand coverage of dependents to young adults under parents' insurance policies. Congressional proposals to reform the health system could help uninsured young adults gain coverage and prevent others from losing it. This is the seventh edition of Rite of Passage, first published by The Commonwealth Fund in 2003.
19至29岁的年轻人是美国未参保人口中占比最大的群体之一：2007年，有1320万人（占29%）没有医保覆盖。他们常常在19岁时或高中或大学毕业时失去医保覆盖：近五分之二（38%）未上大学的高中毕业生以及三分之一的大学毕业生在毕业后的第一年里会有一段时间没有医保。26个州已通过法律，将受抚养人的医保覆盖范围扩大到父母保险政策下的年轻人。国会改革医疗体系的提案可能有助于未参保的年轻人获得医保覆盖，并防止其他人失去医保。这是《成人礼》的第七版，2003年由联邦基金首次出版。
