Never Up Set the CA Insurance Commissioner ...
|
By now Anthem must have learned their lesson not to upset the CA-Insurance Commissioner. Although Anthem has submitted their new health care reform compliant rates by the end of June, only 5 out of 43 plans have been approved. New Business for individuals at Anthem has been at at a stand still for six weeks. Anthem's competition such as Blue Shield, Healthnet and Kaiser could not be happier. Blue Shield just announced that there is no rate guarantee for any application submitted after October 1st. With all this "fiasco" the consumer gets actually short changed. There is less competition and "non-rate guarantee plans" are really unacceptable. Why wasn't it mandated that all individual new insurance plans should have been switched to be compliant starting September 23, as they did for all new group plans. How does a consumer know, if the new plan is a "grandfathered" or "non grandfathered plan"? I wonder why there is actually no press article about this. Please send your comment to email or my blog

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
|
Lung cancer is responsible for almost 1/3 of all cancer deaths in the U.S. Among women, lung cancer is responsible for more cancer than breast and allgynecological cancers combined. It is the leading cause of cancer mortality in both men and women worldwide,with 1.3 million people dying from the disease each year.
The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 219,440 new cases of lung cancer annually in the United States, and about 159,390 people die each year from the disease. The link between smoking and lung cancer is well established. 50 % of new lung cancers are found in former smokers. Aflac has one of the best cancer protection plan in the industry.
