Verbreitete Frauenkrankheiten
Jul 6th
Zu den weit verbreiteten Frauenkrankheiten gehört die Blasenentzündung. Hierbei sind die Frauen etwa doppelt so häufig betroffen wie die Männer. Diese Infektion verläuft überaus schmerzhaft und wird durch Bakterien verursacht. Jedoch kann ebenso eine Unterkühlung des Körpers diese Krankheit begünstigen und beschleunigen. Vielfach tragen besonders die jungen Damen gerne kurze Röcke oder bauchfreie Tops, und dies nicht nur im Sommer. Die Mode geht da vor die Gesundheit, so dass es kaum verwunderlich ist, dass mindestens 50 Prozent der weiblichen Bevölkerung bereits einmal unter der Entzündung der Blase litten.
Die Erkrankung der Blase äußert sich in übermäßigem Harndrang mit einem brennenden Gefühl. More >
health insurance Uninsured drive up hospital costs
Mar 10th
The number of uninsured hospital admissions in Hamilton County more than doubled between 2004 and 2008, leaving local hospitals with barely three in 10 patients who have private insurance to pay for their care, according to a new report on health in the Chattanooga region.
The loss of commercially insured patients, whose insurance payments are significantly higher than those of government-sponsored insurance for the same services and treatments, has contributed to hospitals’ staggering losses to charity care.
In Hamilton County, hospital charity care losses totaled nearly million in 2008, compared to million in 2004.
More than million of the losses that year were More >

“Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.” – Anton Chekhov, Russian playwright

Individual Health Insurance Effects
Mar 10th
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as the health reform bill will impact almost every American. One of the most important ways it will affect individual health insurance is that insurance companies will not be permitted to deny insurance to those with preexisting illnesses. Another important affect is that all Americans will be required to hold insurance. Insurance companies will be prohibited from placing annual and lifetime limits on coverage. Group health exchanges may also help to reduce the cost of insurance plans, giving individuals the buying power of large companies. You will be able to purchase More >
health care reform failed to cure prices
Mar 10th
The health-care law of 2010 is, as Vice President Biden put it, a “big [expletive] deal.” It sets us on the road to universal health insurance. It is a favorite target for Republicans gunning to take over Congress. Lawmakers who supported it could lose their jobs. And it will remain a central focus after the midterms, as Democrats defend it against legal and political challenges through 2014, when it takes full effect. Easy To Insure ME

Health Reform Will Survive?
Mar 9th
Despite brave and bullying promises from Republicans to repeal the health reform “monstrosity” this past week, they can’t do it. Not in the next two years, and maybe not even in 2012, no matter who wins the presidency. Why? For now, because even if the Senate agreed with the House and passed a repeal bill, President Obama would veto it. By 2012 the growing number of Americans (more than half) who already like provisions of the new law, will want to keep them. Easy To Insure ME has the answers
