Albany, NY – You may or may not have noticed, but the economy has taken a bit of a tumble lately. Okay, so this isn't exactly Marketplace...but with more people losing their jobs and more employers cutting back on benefits...a whole lot of Americans are in the market for individual health insurance plans. As you might expect, this has led to some serious problems. On today's Health Show, a Consumer's Union health editor will try to help you avoid what she calls junk insurance policies.

We'll also get a detailed picture of post traumatic stress disorder from a Vietnam vet and his wife...and find out why Italians are so touchy.
