Instead, the health coach is there to help you identify and achieve whatever goals you set for improved vitality by coordinating the many resources available to you through this and other programs.

CharlesPeter asked:


An individual health insurance cover, simply stated, is an agreement between you and the insurance firm, aimed at protecting you against any financial constraints on account of a medical emergency. The one pertinent question you need to ask yourself is -what are the factors to be analyzed before deciding on an individual health insurance policy?

It is indeed a fact that medical and preventive sciences have made rapid advancements in today’s world. Nonetheless, it would be prudent to arm yourself with the best individual health insurance cover to protect yourself against any unforeseen illness. Indeed, America’s best health insurance companies are vying with one another in putting together some of the most imaginative individual health insurance policies designed to overcome any medical contingency. If you are unemployed, or self-employed, an individual health insurance policy is the right choice.

Consult with your insurance company if you can have your individual health insurance policy incorporated in its group policy. You may be paying a higher rate but the terms would be more advantageous than if you had to buy your own individual health insurance policy. If you are married, find out if your spouse’s employer is willing to include you in its group policy. If you are left with no option, then it is wise to buy an individual health insurance policy. Even though the insurance cover may be limited and the rates high, you would still be ensuring protection for yourself or your family against financial problems if you are suddenly confronted with a serious illness or medical emergency. Search for a good health insurance professional to help you with the best individual health insurance policy that offers you good value for money.

You have plenty of choices while selecting individual health insurance plans - The PPO Plan or the Preferred Provider Organization, the HMO Plan or the Health Maintenance Organization, the HDHP or the High Deductible Health Insurance and HAS or the Health Savings Accounts Qualified High Deductible Plan.

When considering individual health insurance plans a worthwhile option may be a health savings account plan which has few unique benefits. With individual health insurance plans, you can trade lower deductible health insurance for a plan that has a higher deductible. This will help you save money each month by lowering your premium. Besides the lower cost, higher deductible health savings account plan also has the added benefit of a tax favored savings account. Yet another interesting aspect of these individual health insurance plans is that the money you save rolls over year after year.

Even if you are already covered by your employer’s insurance scheme, you may still need to get additional coverage through an individual health insurance plan. This becomes necessary because employer-sponsored programs often fall short of individual needs. Extensive coverage for self and family can be achieved through a separate individual health insurance plan.

Individual health insurance plans are of two types: - Indemnity plans - Managed care plans. Indemnity plans are costlier but best suited for those who have particular health issues and need to be treated by specific doctors. Managed care plans cost less because you will be visiting a doctor or a hospital that is provided under the plan. If the treatment requires you to visit a specialist, you will need special permission from the insurance service provider. This plan is best suited for individuals without specific health problems, and wanting to pay less.

Blake Vanderhyde asked:


The following is an example of a Health Care Directive (many people still refer to this as a Living Will).   It is broken down into 3 basic parts.  1) Appointment of the Health Care Agent.  2) Health Care Instructions.  3) Making the Document Legal.   Like most legal documents, it can be a bit confusing and overwhelming.  The purpose for making this easily available to the public is simple.  To help people know what to expect before contacting a lawyer and having him or her draft a directive for them.   Nobody likes thinking about their demise or incapacity.  However, dealing with such issues is a necessary part of life. 

 

This example should not be used as a substitute for getting solid legal advice from a licensed attorney.  Every individual is different.  Please consult a lawyer in your area to discuss your specific estate planning needs.

 

 

HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE

 

I, ___________________________________, understand this document allows me to do One or both of the following:

 

PART I: Name another person (called the health care agent) to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself. My health care agent must make health care decisions for me based on the instructions I provide in this document (Part II), if any, the wishes I have made known to him or her, or must act in my best interest if I have not made my health care wishes known.

 

And/or

 

PART II: Give health care instructions to guide others making health care decisions for me. If I have named a health care agent, these instructions are to be used by the agent. These instructions may also be used by my health care providers, others assisting with my health care and my family, in the event I cannot make decisions for myself.

 

 

PART I: APPOINTMENT OF HEALTH CARE AGENT

 

This is who I want to make health care decisions for me if I am unable to decide or speak for myself  (I know I can change my agent or alternate agent at any time and I know I do not have to appoint an agent or an alternate agent)

 

NOTE: If you appoint an agent, you should discuss this health care directive with your agent and give your agent a copy. If you do not wish to appoint an agent, you may leave Part I blank and go to Part II.

 

 

When I am unable to decide or speak for myself, I trust and appoint ___________________ to make health care decisions for me. This person is called my health care agent.  Relationship of my health care agent to me: ___________________

Telephone number of my health care agent: _________________________

Address of my health care agent: _________________________

 

(OPTIONAL) APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE HEALTH CARE AGENT: If my health care agent is not reasonably available, I trust and appoint _________________ to be my health care agent instead.  Relationship of my alternate health care agent to me: ___________________________Telephone number of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________ Address of my alternate health care agent: ___________________________

 

THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY HEALTH CARE AGENT TO BE ABLE TO

DO IF I AM UNABLE TO DECIDE OR SPEAK FOR MYSELF (I know I can change these choices)

 

My health care agent is automatically given the powers listed below in (A) through (D).

My health care agent must follow my health care instructions in this document or any other instructions I have given to my agent. If I have not given health care instructions, then my agent must act in my best interest. Whenever I am unable to decide or speak for myself, my health care agent has the power to:

 

(A) Make any health care decision for me. This includes the power to give, refuse, or

withdraw consent to any care, treatment, service, or procedures. This includes deciding whether to stop or not start health care that is keeping me or might keep me alive, and deciding about intrusive mental health treatment.

 

(B) Choose my health care providers.

 

(C) Choose where I live and receive care and support when those choices relate to my

health care needs.

 

(D) Review my medical records and have the same rights that I would have to give my

medical records to other people.

 

If I DO NOT want my health care agent to have a power listed above in (A) through (D) OR if I want to LIMIT any power in (A) through (D), I MUST say that here:

 

______________________________________________________________________

 

My health care agent is NOT automatically given the powers listed below in (1) and (2). If I WANT my agent to have any of the powers in (1) and (2), I must INITIAL the line in front of the power; then my agent WILL HAVE that power.

 

______   (1)  To decide whether to donate any parts of my body, including organs, tissues, and eyes, when I die.

 

______ (2)  To decide what will happen with my body when I die (burial, cremation).

 

If I want to say anything more about my health care agent’s powers or limits on the powers, I can say it here:  ________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

PART II: HEALTH CARE INSTRUCTIONS

 

NOTE: Complete this Part II if you wish to give health care instructions. If you appointed an agent in Part I, completing this Part II is optional but would be very helpful to your agent. However, if you chose not to appoint an agent in Part I, you MUST complete some or all of this Part II if you wish to make a valid health care directive.

 

These are instructions for my health care when I am unable to decide or speak for myself.

These instructions must be followed (so long as they address my needs).

 

THESE ARE MY BELIEFS AND VALUES ABOUT MY HEALTH CARE

(I know I can change these choices or leave any of them blank)

 

I want you to know these things about me to help you make decisions about my health care:

 

My goals for my health care: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

My fears about my health care: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

My spiritual or religious beliefs and traditions: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

My beliefs about when life would be no longer worth living:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

My thoughts about how my medical condition might affect my family:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

THIS IS WHAT I WANT AND DO NOT WANT FOR MY HEALTH CARE

 

(I know I can change these choices or leave any of them blank)  Many medical treatments may be used to try to improve my medical condition or to prolong my life. Examples include artificial breathing by a machine connected to a tube in the lungs, artificial feeding or fluids through tubes, attempts to start a stopped heart, surgeries, dialysis, antibiotics, and blood transfusions. Most medical treatments can be tried for a while and then stopped if they do not help.  I have these views about my health care in these situations:  (Note: You can discuss general feelings, specific treatments, or leave any of them blank)

 

If I had a reasonable chance of recovery, and were temporarily unable to decide or speak

for myself, I would want:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

If I were dying and unable to decide or speak for myself, I would want:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

If I were permanently unconscious and unable to decide or speak for myself, I would want:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

If I were completely dependent on others for my care and unable to decide or speak for

myself, I would want: …..

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

In all circumstances, my doctors will try to keep me comfortable and reduce my pain. This is how I feel about pain relief if it would affect my alertness or if it could shorten my life:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

There are other things that I want or do not want for my health care, if possible:

 

Who I would like to be my doctor:

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

Where I would like to live to receive health care:

HBF Health Funds asked:


Funny thing pain, if you’ve never had a severe pain then the suggestion of taking simple analgesia and resting the affected area all seems quite reasonable. I was reminded of this when I read recently of a doctor’s advice to someone who was suffering from sciatica. Having personally experienced sciatica, it’s a condition I would not recommend to anyone who wishes to walk, sit, laugh, sleep, or to just simply pull up your trousers. It’s a bit like a dentist drilling your teeth without an anaesthetic, but it affects your whole leg. In other words the pain is consuming, exhausting and without respite. Clinical studies do show that in the majority of cases the pain will eventually subside and surgery may not be necessary, but in the meantime the patient has to deal with the pain or deal with the medication required to dull the pain. Remember, pain-killers are not selective to the area affected. They affect the whole of the nervous system and elsewhere so there may be significant side-effects from these medications.

Dealing with severe pain can be a complex issue, but I suggest that you have to treat this sort of pain fairly aggressively as acute severe pain is relatively easier to treat than chronic severe pain. In the early stages of an injury or insult to an area of the body, most of the pathological processes are happening at the site of the injury or insult. Throughout time the brain begins to modulate this pain and so no only do you have the injured area to deal with, but you also have complex neural pathways within the brain to deal with as well. This often means a far more complex management plan and a far more protracted recovery time. Specialists are very skilled at dealing with these issues but they do rely heavily on the stories their patients give them. That means being honest in answering their questions and not being heroic with a grin and bear it grimace! Often the use of a pain scale is helpful with zero being no pain at all and a 10 being the worse pain you have ever experienced.

Another health issue we commonly down play is influenza. Over the years I have frequently heard people say that they would not have the flu vaccine because either they never get the flu or that they had it last week for a couple of days and then it was all over! Influenza is a serious debilitating disease that will usually last from 10 days to two weeks and often leave you flat on your back exhausted. It’s not a happy 10 days either as patients do not have the energy to read a magazine or even watch a DVD. You will literally feel ancient with every movement being a real challenge and that doesn’t include the aching all over or the fevers and sleepless nights. The influenza virus is also extremely contagious and most people are unaware that if you spread it to someone who is more frail than yourself that you may actually be putting their life at risk.

With the ‘flu the big challenge is to vaccinate as many people in the community as possible, including children, those employed and unemployed, the elderly and the infirm, to reduce the chance of an epidemic occurring. Recent research has also showed that vaccinating pregnant women in the last trimester of their pregnancy will help protect their new born infants born during the ‘flu season.

Medicine has evolved over the last 40 years, but the change has been fairly slow with doctors by nature being very cautious and conservative people. But we can’t leave the doctors to take all the initiatives. As patients we need to be good listeners in our approach to health by heeding all the great health messages that keep being given to us about vaccinations, smoking, alcohol, exercise and healthy eating. We also need to be good communicators and tell our doctors how we are feeling with conditions such as pain. If the team treating you doesn’t have the best information then it may be that you will not end up getting the best treatment!

e one of the lucky Americans that doesn’t have a physical injury that gives you pain on a daily basis, congratulations! Now that you are completely healthy, you must strive to maintain your health and live disease-free. You can accomplish this high quality of life with proper diet, exercise and health supplements. One such supplemental program is magnet therapy.

A popular perception of magnet therapy is that you have to be sick or injured to use the magnets for benefit. Believe it or not, you can use many other magnetic products that will provide an extra preventative health measure against negative health consequences.

You spend about a third of your life in bed: sleeping, reading, watching T.V. and relaxing with family. A great way to take advantage of all this bed time is to use magnets in bed! You can begin your bed time health program with a magnetic mattress pad and magnetic pillows that can provide overall body recharging and healing. Using these products differs from the more specific products (the metal bracelet, braces) by giving total body magnetic therapy every single night.

Do you sometimes suffer from sinus or stress headaches? There’s even a magnetic solution to this problem! Using a magnetic eye mask (similar to the black eye masks you can use to sleep) will provide arterial and venous relaxation which will alleviate the pain of your headaches and sinus pressure.

While you spend a third of your life in bed, the other two-thirds is spent on your feet. Magnetic insoles can help minimize the pain the long days at work by keeping your tendons and ligaments stretched and relaxed throughout the day. Magnetic insoles also have a very centering effect on your mental focus and clarity, since the magnetic force of the Earth directly contacts your feet.

You can even share the love of magnets with your pets. Pet products that will help your older dogs and cats stay healthy into old age when arthritis becomes a problem. Magnets for your pets can also cut down on cancer and heart problems in older dogs.

Finally, before getting started with your magnetic health maintenance program, you should do your homework. Be certain that the company that provides you with your magnet products certifies the quality of its magnets and purity of the metals used in your magnets. Some online magnet therapy providers will give you very cheap impure magnets. These do not have any health benefits whatsoever! Pure metal magnets are the only way to get assured health benefits.

Health with magnets is a practical and reasonably priced way to maintain your physical well being. Why not start today?

If you are worried about losing your home because you have become delinquent in your mortgage payments, you must ensure one thing – stay healthy.

You may not know it, but health can affect how your housing situation will fare in the coming months, or even years. In these times when foreclosure proceedings can happen in a snap of a finger, it is always best to be on time with your mortgage payments. Accomplishing this requires a dependable regular income, and you won’t be able to do this if you are frequently absent from work. Not only will you be burdened with rising medical bills, you may also lag behind your mortgage payments, which may eventually lead to foreclosure.

Obviously, absence makes the pocket shallower; it can also take away your home. One thing you can do to prevent this from happening is make sure that you don’t get sick.

Similarly, foreclosures have the same effect on one’s health. Overdue mortgage payments and foreclosure notices can stress out a person to the point of getting sick. Then, your work suffers, and eventually, your home.

Homelessness is the next phase of this vicious cycle. Homeless people are exposed to the elements, germs, bacteria, and viruses, making them more prone to illness and infection. Without proper medical attention, health conditions can worsen. Who knows what could happen next?

The government already has a legislation that will provide various housing assistance programs to different people. One of them is the creation of a national Housing Trust Fund which is designed to provide housing for those in need.

But if we really want to deal with this problem head-on, initiatives must start in the neighborhoods. We can’t just solely depend on the government to do all the dirty work. Communities also have a duty to look after the needs of their residents.

Take the Mental Health Board of St. Louis in Missouri as an example. This institution offer services like homeless outreach and housing stabilization programs that make sure that the homeless and those with mental health disorders have a house where they can be safe. Their programs also ensure that these people are placed in an environment where they can have access to supportive services.

The National Health Care for the Homeless Council located in Nashville, Tennessee, fights to put a stop to foreclosure and make access to health care available to everyone. If you are homeless and looking for shelters, you can seek help from the National Coalition for the Homeless online directory of Local Homeless Service Organizations.
