Today I found an interactive map of the United States. There are several topics, but the one I found interesting was on about the percentage of Americans with no heatlh insurance.
Oregon is listed as having 18.6% with no health insurance.

Interactive US Map
An Associated Press article posted today states that college students’ mental health is declining. These points are mentioned in the article:
- “One percent of students who answered a question about binge drinking reported going on a binge 10 or more times in the previous two weeks. Nearly half of those respondents said they had seriously considered suicide in the past.”
- “The vast majority (93 percent) of students who responded to a question about campus violence had little to no fear of losing control and acting violently.”
- “The 7 percent considered to have strong fears were most likely to be male and said they had previously harmed another person. They also tended to have experienced a cluster of other symptoms, such as a fear of having a panic attack or suicidal thoughts.”
