How many are uninsured?

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:51:29 +0000

In 2007, before we were hit by the credit crunch, the wave of foreclosures and the loss of jobs, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that 47m people have no health insurance. That’s a rise of almost 5% as against the estimated number of uninsured made in 2005. So what does this actually mean? The results confirm that these people have no health insurance plan through their work (including the military) or union membership, and no access to federal or state programs including Medicare and Medicaid at any time during a twelve month period. This reflects a growing reality that the average employer no longer offers health insurance benefits. Now, ignoring the politics and focussing on the practical realities, there are two reactions. You can give up on the search for affordable health insurance and wait until the problem becomes sufficiently severe to justify treatment at your local emergency room. It is pointless making any judgemental comments about exposing yourself and others to the risk of more serious injury by delaying treatment. If the premiums demanded by the health insurance industry are always going to be outside your budget, this is not your fault. If anyone or anything is to blame, it is the political system that permits a for-profit system to operate in the health market. Once you introduce the profit motive into any service, costs rise to maintain or maximise profits. Numbers in the accounts maintained by the hospitals and insurance companies do not translate into the faces of the children who are denied treatment. The more passive you are, the more impossible it becomes to get access to lower rates. As one of the middle class, you may come more easily to this process. But no matter what your background, you need to overcome your fears and start negotiating the best deal for your family. If this is too daunting, do not let pride get in the way. Ask at your local church or a charity for someone to help.

Bad credit risk, bad driver?

admin — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:19:16 +0000

This is a good year for drivers in California. Way back when in 1988, Proposition 103 received more than enough support from voters to pass. Three years ago, the Commissioner for Insurance introduced new rules prohibiting the use of ZIP codes as the primary factor for determining car insurance rates.

These rules came into force July 14. The first step in setting the auto insurance rate is whether you qualify for any discounts. For example, most companies offer discounts if you can pay an annual premium rather than by monthly or half-yearly installments. Then comes the math work. There are statistical methods to determine the risk of you getting in an accident. If you’re a late payer who gets into trouble with liens and mortgages on your property, if you rent rather than own, you may not take as much care of your property as others. So, before you go online for your next car insurance quotes, check out your credit score and, if necessary, repair the score. The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you the right to get free copies of your credit reports. Use that right and get your credit score into shape before getting quotes.

Overweight and a smoker - WOW! Are you in trouble!

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2004, about two-thirds of adults in the U.S. are overweight and almost one-third are obese. If this were to continue, everyone in the U.S. could be overweight in forty years time. Some groups are already heading in that direction. We’ll probably never actually get to 100%. Whoopee! Why should this matter? Well, there’s a proven link between being overweight and life-shortening conditions such as stroke, congestive heart failure, cancer and osteoarthritis. It would be fair to say that life insurance companies get very interested when you start talking about behavioral risk factors and mortality rates. They classify people according to their risk of dying. If you’re a “super preferred” you’re disgustingly healthy with no bad habits. You’re going to live decades longer than anyone else so you get the lowest premiums. But if you’re only “preferred”, the premiums have started to rise because you have a shorter life expectancy. The average U.S. life pays the “standard” rate. And then come all the others with depressing titles suggesting you may die tomorrow. How does this affect you? Well, your premiums will be high if you are overweight. The rates will rise further if you have high blood pressure or high levels of cholesterol. If there’s a family history of cancer, stroke, heart disease or anything else dealing out death, more increases. And then some companies double the rate if you’re a smoker. What should you do? Well, never lie about it. That gives life insurance companies the right to cancel the policy. The companies want real evidence that you’re prepared to change your lifestyle. Obviously, you can’t do anything about your family history, but you can quit smoking and lose weight. Make regular visits with your local health provider and have blood tests to show improving levels of cholesterol and lipids, keep records of falling blood pressure, etc. With evidence of continuing motivation for better health, you can resubmit your application for a life policy and negotiate a premium reduction.

Cash Advances Turn Lives Around!

Cash advances are not for everyone. If you have a history of borrowing money and not being able to repay it in a timely manner, perhaps borrowing from a cash advance or payday Loan Company is not for you. However, if you have slowly but surely learned your lessons well when it comes to cash advance then you should definitely look into the pay day loans that are made available to you. In life, there are always ups and downs. Nobody is immune to life’s financial hiccups and for some, they may be more disastrous than for others. But the reality is that when you need the help, don’t let yourself become bogged down and past due with necessary items that you need to pay. Stay on top of it. As we know, credit bureaus check your credit rating if you need a larger loan or want to buy a home. But what you should know is that the only to boost your credit rating, you need to make at the very least the minimum payments. But not only that! You must pay on time, every time. This way your score is always maintained and somewhat rising, depending on your ability to maintain it all. With that, you should know that when you use payday advances, using it to wisely stay on top of your credit score and catch up with your payments is the right thing to do. Look into pay day loans and get on top of your money now!

Research approves Alexander Technique

This August sees the publication of some research in the online British Medical Journal. It is by the Universities of Southampton and Bristol into the use of the Alexander Technique. The trial involved some 580 patients who were suffering from chronic back pain. The Technique teaches better posture and other coping strategies combined with a directed physical exercise regime based on walking increasing distances at faster speeds.

It costs the UK economy millions of pounds sterling a year in medical resources and lost productivity. The standard treatment is painkillers like tramadol. Doctors also recommend massage. The study found massage produced some benefits but the effects faded after three months. The results of the study show an impressive improvement in the group taught the Technique both over six and twenty-four sessions.

There was a lower use of tramadol and other painkillers, better long-term mobility and an improved quality of life. In one sense, this is a surprising result because the use of any technique relies on the patient’s motivation. It seems that reducing or relieving back pain is a good spur to learning. This is a reasonably large clinical trial. The Technique is a “cheap” form of treatment.
