Deadline Decisions

On Sunday, Massachusetts becomes the first state in the US to require that most adults have health insurance.

About 60,000 people, who earn too much to qualify for subsidized coverage but not enough to buy it on their own, will be exempt.

But everyone else will face a penalty if they don't have insurance by the end of the year. WBUR's Martha Bebinger checks in with a few uninsured residents to find out what they are doing about the deadline.

This program aired on June 29, 2007. The audio for this program is not available.
