Omaha World Herald article on increased lack of health insurance
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1208&u_sid=10295852

"Even though older Americans often are the focus of concerns about health care costs, people ages 19 to 29 are one of the fastest-growing groups without insurance, according to a report by the Commonwealth Fund.

The count of young adults lacking insurance grew by 800,000, or 6 percent, from 2004 to 2006, hitting 13.7 million."
