I’m a freelancer, living in Los Angeles, California. My life is hectic and my schedule even worse! I make it a point to make time for myself, as difficult as that might be, so I’m always looking for ways to improve my quality of health and life. This includes educating myself about anything I put into my body. When searching for info on migraine medication, I found this great article on prescription versus generic drugs at a website called toddshealthinsurance.com.I have been a health insurance agent in Southern California, Los Angeles region for over 16 years. I always advise my clients that if you currently have health insurance, even if you’re not happy with the plan, or think you’re paying too much, DO NOT cancel your current coverage until you’ve been approved for a new plan! Just because you were approved before, your health could have changed since the original application was submitted and therefore there is no guarantee you will be approved again.
If you choose vaccination, the CDC cautions that H1N1 Vaccine shouldn’t replace Seasonal Flu Vaccine and recommends many get both. Groups that are strongly advised to receive both vaccinations include healthcare and emergency medical workers, pregnant women, infant caregivers, and everyone aged 6 months through 24 years.
If you’re over age 55 you’ve likely built up a natural immunity to the H1N1 strain.
California has already received 400,000 doses of H1N1 Vaccine; Los Angeles County - 92,000. The vaccine will be distributed to both private and public health clinics in Southern California. Vaccination locations can be found at the California Department of Public Health.
If you’re in Southern California without health insurance, speak with a health insurance agent about affordable health care options. For 16 years, Todd Fries has found health insurance policies that fit people’s needs and budget.
The over-arching goal seems to be to start with something, anything that may lead to more aggressive health care reform down the line, reform that will be easier to both organize and actualize.
Today, however, the U.S. Census Bureau puts the number of uninsured Americans at 46.3 million. 37% of Californians, or about twelve million of those Americans, were without health insurance during some or all of 2007 and 2008, according to familiesusa.org, and that number has likely increased in tandem with the increase in unemployment. In Los Angeles, more than two million people are living without health insurance, a figure that reflects LA County’s standing as having the third highest rate of uninsured among all major American cities.
I live in Los Angeles, CA and have been unemployed and without health insurance since May 2009. As a result, I scour the Internet almost daily looking for news about health care reform. To my relief, I recently found a website designed to specifically help who live in Southern California, Los Angeles Region: toddshealthinsurance.com.
The posts are clear and concise, and the site is very easy to navigate. If you don’t have health insurance, it might be worth seeking his expertise too! He has some great advice on how to save money or if you are recently unemployed how to keep your coverage without paying the high COBRA costs.
