Uninsured Ohio Student Dies After Delaying Medical Care for Swine Flu

In Ohio, a recent college graduate has died from the swine flu after delaying medical treatment because she didnt have health insurance. Friends and family members say twenty-two-year-old Kimberly Young fell ill two weeks ago. She put off medical care out of concern she wouldnt be able to afford it as an uninsured patient. Classmates say Young was passionate about social justice while enrolled at Ohios Miami University, where she earned two degrees and was involved in the groups Students for Peace and Justice and the Association of Latin American Students. She had worked two jobs since graduating last year.
