Two in five adults in the U.S. are getting general health care from specialist doctors, according to a new study showing that figure held steady for nearly a decade.

A new study suggests young adults are more likely to get care and see a doctor when states extend the time they can stay on their parents' health insurance — a measure also mandated by the 2010 federal health care law.

Insurers and employers will have to spell out plainly the costs and benefits of the health plans they offer starting next year.

Communities known for paying the most on health care may not be spending as much as once thought, according to new data released on Wednesday.
