No Shriners Hospitals Closing; Some May Be Outpatient-Only
"All 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children will stay open, but some eventually might become outpatient-only surgery facilities, the system that offers free specialty pediatric care said Thursday," CNN reports. "The system, which has covered all costs of its patients" care throughout its 87-year history, eventually will accept insurance from patients who have it, members of the Shriners fraternity decided in their annual convention in San Antonio, Texas. Accepting money from insurers and finding other ways to cut costs will help Shriners retain their presence in all 22 locations, said Doug Maxwell, the new president and CEO of Shriners Hospitals."

For Many Young Adults, No Health Insurance, No Regular Doctor, USA

Approximately 5 million adults age 19 to 23 in the United States had no health insurance in 2006 for the entire year and 30 percent of them said they didn"t think it was worth the cost, according to the latest News and Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The analysis by the federal agency found that 46 percent (2.2 million) of uninsured young adults worked full time and 26 percent (1.3 million) worked part time. Some 81 percent of the 5 million young adults who were uninsured through all of 2006 were not full-time students. The report by AHRQ also shows that in 2006: - Young adults who were uninsured for the entire year were only about half as likely as those who had insurance part of the year to have a usual of care, such as a family doctor (36 percent vs. 70 percent). - More than two-thirds of young adults without insurance for the entire year did not see a doctor. - Young men were more likely than young women to be uninsured all year (30 percent vs. 18 percent). AHRQ, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, improves the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The data in this AHRQ News and Numbers summary are taken from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), a detailed of information on the health services used by Americans, the frequency with which they are used, the cost of those services, and how they are paid.
