Corrections: July 2, 2025
An article on Saturday about the Supreme Court's decision to uphold a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires insurance companies to offer some kinds of preventive care for free misstated the requirement of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. The mandate requires that people obtain health insurance or pay a fine, not that most employers provide health insurance for their workers.
An obituary on Tuesday about the former congressman Pat Williams misstated the number of grandchildren who survive him. It is three, not five.

Kylian Mbappé Raises Concern With Sudden Hospital Scare During Club World Cup
Kylian Mbappé Raises Concern With Sudden Hospital Scare During Club World Cup originally appeared on Men's Fitness. Soccer player Kylian Mbappé was hospitalized this week due to a severe case of gastroenteritis. Mbappé was initially reported to have a fever, missing Real Madrid's opening match of the Club World Cup in Miami on Wednesday, June 18, according to the Associated Press. Mbappé began feeling unwell on Monday and was too weak to leave his hotel room in the days that followed, MARCA reported. Real Madrid kept him isolated from the rest of the team to minimize the risk of spreading the illness. Later, Real Madrid confirmed that he was receiving hospital treatment for gastroenteritis. "Our player Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been admitted to hospital in order to undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment," Real Madrid wrote in a later, the club announced he had been discharged but would continue treatment. "Our player Kylian Mbappé was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and has returned to the Real Madrid training camp. Mbappé will continue receiving specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activity," the team shared in another statement. Gastroenteritis—also known as the stomach flu—is an infection that inflames the digestive system, causing symptoms like cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. It usually clears up in a few days, though severe cases may require IV fluids to prevent dehydration, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Following Wednesday's game, Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso said he hoped Mbappé would be ready for the team's next match on Sunday, June 22. But, it's unclear if he'll be ready to play by Mbappé Raises Concern With Sudden Hospital Scare During Club World Cup first appeared on Men's Fitness on Jun 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by Men's Fitness on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

Study: Medicaid, Medicare don't adequately cover addiction treatment
July 1 (UPI) -- Opioid addicts covered by Medicare and Medicaid are less likely to receive the mental health and substance use treatment that they need, a new study says. Addicts with public insurance receive more than twice as many sessions if their therapy is also covered by other sources, such as court-mandated treatment, researchers report in the journal Addiction Science & Clinical Practice. "What's most striking is how insurance type fundamentally shapes patient treatment," said principal investigator Jamey Lister, an associate professor at the Rutgers University School of Social Work in New Jersey. "We discovered that patients with public insurance alone were less likely to utilize treatment services compared to those with multiple funding sources," Lister said. This news comes as Medicare and Medicaid face potential cuts from Republican-sponsored legislation making its way through Congress, researchers noted. About 10% of American adults suffer from both substance use and mental health disorders that require integrated treatment for both. For the new study, researchers analyzed records of 705 patients registered at a community health center in New Jersey between 2015 and 2021. During that period, the state's Medicaid coverage expanded under the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). The patients all had been diagnosed with opioid use disorder, and 72% had another substance use disorder such as cannabis, cocaine or alcohol. About 39% also had a co-occurring mental health condition such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression or schizophrenia. Results show that people were more likely to get all the help they needed if they had additional coverage on top of Medicaid or Medicare. "It's the exact opposite of how we should be helping people," Lister said. "We should aspire to provide health care services that are driven by patient need, not by financing. But as we found, if you're only using public insurance, you're likely falling through the cracks." Cutting Medicaid and Medicare would make these problems worse, and cost the health care system even more in the long run, Lister argues. Lister pointed to a 2021 study published by the American Medical Association, which found that improving access to opioid addiction treatment can save between $25,000 to $105,000 in lifetime costs per person. In addition, overdoses, addiction and deaths account for $35 billion in health care costs annually, as well as nearly $15 billion in criminal justice costs, according to a Pew report highlighted by Lister.

8 heat-related deaths reported in Maryland during dangerous heat wave
Maryland saw 8 heat-related deaths during a dangerous heat wave, according to the Maryland Department of Health. According to the MDH's report, which covers the week of June 22 to June 28, there were 472 emergency department and urgent care visits combined. Heat-Related Illness ED/UC Visits Maryland Department of Health The 18–44 age group made the most emergency visits, followed by the 65+ age group. Six of the individuals who died due to heat illness were 65 or older. Region three, which includes Anne Arundel, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll, Harford, and Howard counties, saw the highest number of visits (197). Dangerous heat wave Baltimore City was among multiple Maryland counties that declared extreme heat alerts and opened cooling centers. The WJZ First Alert Weather team issued Alert Days through June 25 due to the dangerous temperatures. Meanwhile, Gov. Wes Moore activated Maryland's State of Preparedness protocol. While normal temperatures in June for the region are typically in the upper 80s, we saw temperatures approach 100 degrees, before cooler weather returned. On June 22, the second day of the Baltimore AFRAM festival in Druid Hill Park, the heat index reached 100 degrees. Staying safe in extreme heat Heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the United States There are multiple ways to stay cool in extreme heat. Loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothing is recommended to help stay cool, according to the CDC. Avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and overly sweetened drinks is also suggested. You should also avoid direct sunlight and stay in the shade when possible. Heat exhaustion and heat illness typically present with symptoms like dizziness, muscle cramps, thirst, profuse sweating, nausea, and fatigue, according to the National Weather Service. If you experience these signs, you should move to a cooler area, loosen clothing, and sip cool water. If symptoms still persist, seek medical help, as heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke.
