Number: HARD-002 Description: Why do so many young people lack health coverage, and does the national trend indicate that it's getting better or worse? Narrative: Articles that deal with the reasons young people go without insurance (unemployment, part time employment, poverty) are on topic. More about the (social/community-based) cost of caring for uninsured individuals when they need emergency health care. What are the recourses for a young person? What is the government doing, or what CAN the government do about this issue? Information about the uninsured elderly population is off-topic.
