More Young Adults Have Health Insurance: U.S.
Officials
The number of young American adults with medical coverage rose by more
than three million since the new health care law was implemented,
according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
About 75 percent of adults ages 19 to 25 now have health insurance,
compared with about 64 percent when the Affordable Care Act took effect in
2010, the Associated Press reported.
The law requires insurers to allow young adults to remain on their
parents’ plans until they turn 26, even if they graduate from school or
move away from home.
The AP said the provision is a popular part of the law, which is
threatened by a constitutional challenge that could be decided by the
Supreme Court as early as next week.

No Proof of WTC Dust/Cancer Link:
Experts
A number of experts say there’s no actual evidence to support the
recent decision to add 50 kinds of cancer to a multibillion dollar
financial assistance program for people with health problems believed to
be caused by exposure to toxic dust from the collapse of the World Trade
Center’s twin towers.
The decision to include the large number of cancers — including
breast, skin, lung and thyroid — could mean that hundreds more people
will receive payouts from the health fund, the Associated Press
reported.
However, some scientists say there is a lack of proof that exposure to
the toxic dust plume caused even one type of cancer.
“To imagine that there is strong evidence about any cancer resulting
from 9/11 is naive in the extreme,” Donald Berry, a biostatistics
professor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston,
told the AP.
There are concerns that payments to cancer patients could divert money
from people with illnesses — such as asthma and laryngitis — that are
more definitively connected to the toxic dust.

Teen Shot in Head with Spear is Recovering:
Doctors
A 16-year-old Florida boy who was shot through the head with a spear is
lucky to alive and is recovering, doctors say.
Nasser Lopez was injured June 8 when a friend accidentally hit the
trigger of a spear gun while loading it. The three-foot long spear entered
Lopez’s head about an inch over his eye and the point came out the back of
his head, the Miami Herald reported.
It took surgeons three hours to remove the spear from the teen’s brain.
He has no recollection of the accident. Lopez is in serious condition at
University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital and is expected to remain
hospitalized for several more months.
“It’s a miracle the spear missed all the main blood vessels of the
brain,” neurosurgeon Ross Bullock said at a news conference Monday, the
Herald reported.
