Today, the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data illustrating that the Affordable Care Act has helped increase the number of young adults who have health insurance.

Data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) shows that in the first quarter of 2011, the percentage of
adults between the ages of 19 and 25 with health insurance increased by 3.5 percentage points, representing
approximately 1 million additional young adults with insurance coverage compared to a year ago.
