Recently, we reported that 2.5 million additional young adults have gained health coverage because of the health care law. It allows young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance plans through age 26. And this week, we announced that of this number, 1.3 million are racial and ethnicity minorities: approximately 736,000 Latinos, 410,000 Blacks, 97,000 Asian Americans, and 29,000 American Indian/Alaska Natives have gained coverage because of the law.
