Core Tip The ACA’s dependent coverage provision for young adults under 26 offers more than insurance, it offers a lifeline during critical educational and clinical transitions. In nephrology, where delays can mean irreversible harm, continuity matters. Yet this reform reveals a tension: access has widened, but not equitably. Provider deserts, bureaucratic inertia, and systemic stratification still fracture care. This article contends that without structural redistribution, policy is performance. The promise of reform is undermined by persistent exclusions leaving those most at risk stranded between legal entitlement and real-world abandonment.
