It's a reality on health care that so many of us are living. A new survey released by West Health and Gallup finds 65 million adults had a health issue in the past year, but they didn't get treatment for it because of the cost. One of the biggest issues of health care costs is the surprise medical bills. The issue has become such a problem, Congress held its first-ever congressional hearing on surprise medical bills Tuesday. “If your kid gets hurt playing soccer and you go to an [emergency doctor], there's a really good chance you're gonna get a surprise medical bill,” says Frederick Isasi. Isasi is the executive director for Families USA, an advocacy group for health care consumers. “More people are scared of hospital bills and health care bills than getting sick,” Isasi says. “That's where we are as a nation. There's more harm happening in this country, in some ways psychologically, around the cost of health care than actually being scared about their health.” Isasi and others testified about the need for federal laws to protect patients, including making hospitals and doctors provide billing costs upfront and putting a cap on costs. A new survey found in the past year, Americans borrowed billion to pay for health care, because they couldn't afford it. “Almost half of Americans, they have less than 0 in saving, so a surprise medical bill for ,000 means, ‘I'm gonna have to miss my car payment, miss my mortgage payment. I'm gonna have to take out of my retirement account,’” Isasi says. But at Tuesday’s hearing, lawmakers openly admitted finding a real solution will be a challenge. “The problem is this whole process of health care is so complex,” Rep. Rick Allen (R-Georgia) relayed at the hearing. Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pennsylvania) agreed, stating “the solutions I’m hearing don't really sound very workable in the context of our present medical system, and that's where I really struggle to understand how we're gonna fix this.” Some states have passed legislation to try and protect patients from surprise bills, but about 60 percent of employer-based plans are governed by federal law, not state law. 2153

It was a rare disagreement between a teenager and his mother that was shared in front of Congress and the public in a hearing Tuesday. “With my mother, it wasn't she didn't have the information, she was manipulated into believing it,” high school senior Ethan Lindenberger said in the hearing. Lindenberger told senators how he grew up believing vaccines were harmful and how his mother would not allow him to get vaccinated.“As I approached high school and began to critically think for myself, I saw the information in defense of vaccines outweighed the concerns heavily,” he said. When Lindenberger turned 18 a few months ago, he defied his mother and got vaccinated. A U.S. Senate committee invited him to share his story during a hearing that discussed what's driving outbreaks in parts of the country, mostly blaming it on those who don't get vaccinated. Doctors and Congress spent the hearing talking about the importance of vaccines, especially among children. An overwhelming majority of parents vaccinate their children. However, polls have shown public support of vaccine has fallen and according to the CDC, the number of children under 2 who have not received any vaccinations has quadrupled in the past 17 years. “I used to work in the pharmaceutical industry. This is why I question vaccines,” says mother Brandy Vaughn, who has chosen not to vaccinate her son. Vaughn criticized Tuesday’s hearing, saying those who question vaccines did not get a seat at the table. “We tried to put them on the witness list, and there's no room for anyone that has anything negative to say about vaccines. Yet, an 18-year-old teenager, without absolutely no background in any kind of science or vaccines, can testify in the hearing? It's outrageous,” Vaughn says.Doctors today blamed social media, in part, for spreading false information about vaccines and encouraged concerned parents to turn to pediatricians, not the internet. 1942

If you're a parent, heading out the door before a car ride with the kids probably goes a little like this:Parent: "Did you go to the bathroom?"Child: "No, I don't have to go."Parent: "Go now, you may not get the chance later."At least for one New Hampshire woman, that was pretty much the ongoing conversation she had with her four kids ... so much that she made it her vanity license plate for 15 years.Wendy Auger is proud of her "PB4WEGO" plate and told CNN she's never had any issues with it. Until now.New Hampshire asked Auger, in a letter she received August 16, to surrender her plate because it includes a phrase relating to "sexual or excretory acts or functions," said Auger."I'm not a political activist," she said. "But this is a non-offensive thing that I've had and it's part of who we are as a family and who I am and there was zero reason for them to take it away."The recall letter said Auger had 10 days to surrender her plate with the option to chose another vanity plate at no extra cost or have one assigned to her.If Auger chose to get a regular plate, a portion of her vanity plate fee would be refunded to her, according to the letter.After hearing about Auger's situation from a mutual friend, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu got involved."Upon this being brought to my attention, I reached out to the Division of Motor Vehicles and strongly urged them to allow Wendy to keep the license plate she has had for the last 15 years," Sununu told CNN in a statement."I recently left a message on her phone to share the good news that her plate will not be recalled."Auger said she was happy she got to keep a piece of who her family is with her."I wasn't going to go down without a fight," she said.For New Hampshire residents, the cost of a vanity license plate includes the price of your town/city and state registration fees, plus for the Vanity Plate fee, plus a one time fee, according to the 1938

In a feat of engineering, human will and blatant disregard of speed limits, three men claim that they broke the record for the "Cannonball Run," a cross-country drive from New York to Los Angeles.Arne Toman, Douglas Tabbutt and Berkeley Chadwick say they started their drive on November 11 at 12:57 a.m. at the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan and ended at the Portofino hotel in Redondo Beach in 27 hours and 25 minutes, beating the previous record of 28 hours and 50 minutes."Holding the 'Cannonball' record is a lifelong dream of mine," Toman, one of the drivers, told CNN. "I have no intentions of trying to do it again. We had perfect weather, traffic, no construction, etc. I don't think you could recreate that or the good luck we had without having police interactions."Road & Track first reported the accomplishment in the unofficial and illicit event.The trio claims their average speed was 103 miles per hour, and the highest was 193.They drove in a "heavily prepared" Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Upgrades to the exhaust and the engine's two turbochargers produced more than 800 horsepower, a press release said.It took "every navigational aid and police counter-measure known to man" and almost 20 different scouts to avoid police interference, they said. Technology included Waze, radar detectors, a CB radio, binoculars and an airplane detection system. They had no interactions with police during the drive, Toman said.Ed Bolian, who was 1460
