There  are a wide array of documents available on many aspects of possible legislation, but very little has been published with an eye toward the impact on adolescents."Highlights and Hazards: What Do the Current Health Care Reform Bills Do for Adolescents & Young Adults?", developed by the Center for Adolescent Health and the Law and the National Adolescent Health Information Center, provides that critical perspective. Specifically, this fact sheet gives an overview of measures in the three bills currently in play in the House and Senate that are particularly noteworthy for this age group. Each bill has been analyzed to identify "highlights"  provisions that would be particularly beneficial for adolescents and young adults-and "hazards" provisions that could be harmful to these young people.You can find more information and resources about adolescent health on the California Adolescent Health Collaborative website.
