CDC Data Show That Millions of Uninsured Adults Forgo Needed Treatment for Chronic Health Conditions

A new analysis of government data shows that millions of uninsured adults in the U-S suffer with chronic illness and have medical needs that are unmet. Nearly half of non-elderly, uninsured adults report having one or more chronic health problems. More than 15 million uninsured adults in the U-S have diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or other chronic conditions. The analysis documents that millions of these chronically ill adults forgo needed medical care or prescription drugs due to cost, leaving them at serious risk for increased health problems.

One thing almost all moms agree on is motherhood is a hard job. As suspected, working moms and stay-at-home moms believe theirs is the harder job. Two in five working moms say that being a working mom is harder, while 46 percent of stay-at-home moms feel that theirs is the more challenging job.

New Survey Finds Teenage Boys Least Likely to Practice Proper Sun Protection

Now a new survey by the American Academy of Dermatology confirms that teenage boys are the worst violators when it comes to protecting themselves from the sun.
