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.
If they pay the penalty, they get nothing in return.. The majority of the uninsured will be low- or moderate- income folks, according to the Congressional Budget Office. About 4.1 million are expected to make less than 400% of the poverty level, or roughly $48,000 for an individual and $98,400 for a family in 2016.
