The Census Bureau reports 43 percent of the severely disabled lack private health coverage, and 34 percent of all Americans with disabilities are uninsured. The report links lack of insurance to potential institutionalization or loss of assets for public aid, noting most uninsured rely on government benefits.

Chicken pox vaccine nears U S market approval
An FDA advisory panel finding Merck Varivax safe and effective moves the chicken pox vaccine closer to approval though questions remain. They noted potential need for one or two doses and timing with measles vaccines, with booster uncertainties to be studied. Rebecca Cole urged approval after her son’s death. The vaccine has been used in Japan for decades and Merck presented data from 11,000 recipients showing mild side effects and generally mild cases of breakthrough illness.
