Commotio cordis occurs mostly in boys and young men (average age 15), usually during sports, most frequently baseball, often despite a chest protector. It is usually caused by a projectile, but can also be caused by the blow of an elbow or other body part.
The number of uninsured Americans declined by 8.8 million in 2014, the first year the major insurance reforms of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect, according to new federal survey of 98,000 adults released by the U.S. Census Bureau today.
Oversimplifying a bit, for most people the tax in 2016 will be $750 per adult and $375 per kid. But while 21 million people will be uninsured, CBO said âthe majority of them will not be subject to penalty.â Thatâs an understatement.n addition, some who are legally required to pay the tax will not do so. CBO/JCT therefore assumes a certain amount of noncompliance (aka cheating). This gets CBOâs 21 million uninsured in 2016 down dramatically to 3.9 million who will be both uninsured and pay the tax.
