19. That is a real problem here in Ohio. The evil GOP have cut many of these kids from any help.

There were a few news stories about former foster care kids who could no longer get needed meds and other medical health care. It dropped out of the news media in 2014, as they could not have anything negative in the news against Kasich and the GOP legislative wrecking crew. Kasich accepted Medicaid from the ACA, so some of these kids got help from that, too. Thank goodness for the ACA, it could be better but is has saved a lot of people already.

Those poor young adults coming out of foster care, often get just turned out on the street once they turn 18. Once the foster parents stop getting that paycheck from the state they throw the poor kids out here in Ohio. It is a terrible system. I have seen articles in the news media about kids having nowhere to go and are still in high school.

We can afford to take care of everyone.
