Choosing a health insurance plan can be complicated. Knowing just a few things before you compare plans can make it simpler.
How Much Does a Medical Alert System Cost Without Insurance?
“A medical alert system, also known as a personal emergency response system (PERS), can assist you in getting help quickly during an emergency. It’s beneficial for seniors or anyone with health conditions who might need to access immediate medical care. Many people may not realize that these systems can also help in case of a break-in, fire, or natural disaster.”
Inadequate Health Insurance Coverage Drives Medical Debt
“In the first quarter of 2023, household debt in America rose to $17.05 trillion, representing a precipitous increase over the last decade. In part, rising debt can be attributed to cost growth outpacing income growth which requires many Americans to borrow more to pay for housing, higher education and consumer goods. For example, one study found that college costs have increased by almost 170% since 1980, while the average earnings for young adults (aged 22-27) has only increased by 19%. Middle class Americans are shouldering much of this debt, and many are living paycheck to paycheck.”
Health Insurance Barriers Delay, Disrupt and Deny Patient Care
Patients and clinicians suffer when insurers disregard medical counsel and impose inefficient administrative policies.
Over the last two years, 62% of the 1,500-plus patients surveyed say treatment has been delayed because of their insurance provider, according to a recent Morning Consult poll.
Health insurance should be a bridge to medical care, not a barrier. Yet too many commercial health insurance policies often delay, disrupt and deny medically necessary care to patients.
How Good a Workout Is Walking, Really?
Walking is arguably one of the easiest, most accessible ways to get moving. But, is walking good exercise? Can you really lose weight by walking?
After all, nowadays, it seems the most popular workouts are all about going hard, cranking up the intensity, and more or less being reduced to a shaking puddle of sweat — not really walking’s M.O.
That’s OK! No matter your fitness level or experience with exercise, you can gain some serious benefits from adding walking to your regular routine.
