    As of 2013 there were still about 20 states with no laws providing unaccompanied youth with the statutory right to consent to their own general medical and dental care. Aside from the obvious need (and mandate under the ACA) for states to implement outreach programs to have UY enrolled in health care coverage, this coverage will not be useful to the youth in these 20 states. Even in CA where we have these laws for enrollment in MediCal and UY consent to general medical care, there is a gap in the laws. A 14 year old can enroll in MediCal on their own, but cannot consent to their own general medical/dental care until they are 15. Unfortunately, even the 15 and older minors still have a hard time finding a doctor or clinic that understands the laws and their ability to consent on their own. These proposed steps to removing these barriers are a phenomenal start!
