<p>If you re in the market for a new car insurance policy, and looking for a free instant car insurance quote, you re not alone.  Due to the outrageous popularity, speed, and accessibility of the Internet, it s easier than ever to get a free instant car insurance quote.  You can get one online, right in the comfort of your own home.</p>
<p>However, before you sit down to start looking for your free instant car insurance quote, there are some decisions you should make.  For example, how much car insurance coverage are you seeking to purchase?</p>
<p>Every state requires that all vehicle owners have some form of financial responsibility, and for good reason.  No one wants to be involved in a car accident, especially one that was caused by the other party, only to find out that they are going to have to pay for medical treatment and damage repairs out-of-pocket.  Some states allow you to simply show proof that you do have the funds for financial responsibility, but others require that you actually purchase a car insurance policy, and you must purchase the minimum liability coverage set by your state.</p>
<p>Obviously, many of us are going to try to save a few pennies by purchasing only the minimum liability insurance required by our state.  However, sometimes the results of an automobile accident cost more to repair than what our liability insurance policies can cover.  We need to consider medical costs of personal injuries and repair costs for the damages to our vehicles.  This is why you should considering purchasing more car insurance than just the minimum requirement when you re searching for your free instant car insurance quote.</p>
<p>Find out the minimum requirements for your state, and evaluate your budget.  Based on those minimums, how much more can you afford to pay for car insurance?  By answering this question, you re search for a free instant car insurance quote will be a smooth one.</p>

<p>Over the course of the last ten years, car insurance for young drivers in the UK has increased substantially.</p>
<p>This has caused many problems for new drivers with premiums averaging 1300 for a newly qualified 17 year old male driver.</p>
<p>Young female drivers pay a lot less for their policies due to their reduced risk of being involved in an accident.  EEC law is looking to make this a discrimination issue but insurance companies and representative groups are opposing this move.</p>
<p>The main factors which will effect your insurance premium are listed below</p>
<p>The Vehicle - Choosing the right vehicle will have a massive impact on your premium.  As a guide, look at the insurance group of the car.  The grouping structure runs from Group 1 to Group 20 and your insurance premium will increase as you move through the groups.  Use the link below to our web site and use the car grouping guide which will give you an indication of which vehicles fall into which groups.  Do not however rely on either guesswork or a basic group guide when choosing a car.  Even a subtle difference in model of vehicle could effect your premium massively - Get quotes on every type of car you are looking at before deciding on buying one.</p>
<p>Where you live - Not a lot you can do about this but in some areas of the UK you are twice as likely to have your car stolen.  In London you are 50% more likely to be involved in an accident - Your premium will reflect where you lice.</p>
<p>Pass Plus - If you have just passed your test, seriously consider pass plus.  This will give you discounts of up to 20% off your insurance premium.  The course costs 120 so can be very effective at saving you money and improving your driving skills.</p>
<p>Type of Cover - As a first time driver you will normally be restricted to third party fire and theft cover because of the costs involved.  Consider third party only cover also.</p>
<p>There are no shortcuts when insuring your first car but there is a silver lining to that horrible first premium.  A safe years driving will result in a drop in your premium of around 50% in the following year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Russian women like Russian men. If they could, they would prefer to marry a Russian man. Of course, a Russian woman is looking for a good husband, and many Russian men often do not make good husbands.</p>
<p>Russian society is very chauvinistic. Women usually do the housework and take care of the children. Because of economics, they usually have a job as well.</p>
<p>From a cultural standpoint, drinking is socially acceptable and many Russian men drink to excess, which can also affect their health. Many Russian men are like the old cartoon character of Andy Capp.</p>
<p>Some are lazy, alcoholic bums who let their wives do all the housework, plus bring home a paycheck, while they go out with their friends and drink and chase women. If their wives object, they give them a swat, and if they object too much, they leave.</p>
<p>Because of all the single and available women, Russian men are spoiled. Many women feel lucky to have a husband even if he is like the type just described.</p>
<p>After the age of thirty-five, it is virtually impossible for a Russian woman to find a husband.  If they are divorced and have children, the same situation applies.</p>
<p>Many Russian women believe that Westerners make better husbands. Right or wrong, they believe that Westerners are more liberated than Russian men and will pitch in with more of the household tasks.</p>
<p>Many Russian women are attracted to American men because they are better groomed and wear cleaner clothes than Russian men. American men are more polite and genteel than Russian men. Many Russians appear impolite to Americans.</p>
<p>They don t say please or thank you very often. The older generation of Russians has table manners that Americans are not used to. During the Communist years, manners were considered bourgeois and they fell out of favor.</p>
<p>Because of the death of so many men in the Stalinist purges and World War II, many Russian men were raised without a father. Many of them do not know how to function as a father and are minimally involved with raising their children.</p>
<p>Many Russian women believe that they will have more economic opportunity for themselves and for their children in Western countries than in Russia.</p>
<p>All the women in the world are looking for economic security. Why should Russian women be any different?<br />
America is a nation of immigrants. Virtually all of the people who have immigrated to America were looking for a better life. They operated out of what Adam Smith called  enlightened self-interest.  Russian women are no different.</p>
<p>This has been the reality of immigration to America from the very beginning. The Spanish traveled to the New World to find  the fountain of youth.  The English followed them to the New World to find the  streets paved with gold. </p>
<p>The Irish left the Potato Famine behind for the chance of a new opportunity in America only to experience the Coffin Ships, cholera outbreaks, and signs stating  Irish need not apply. </p>
<p>Prejudice against immigrants, including Russian women, is nothing new. They just happen to be the newest group of immigrants that are viewed with prejudice.</p>
<p>John has been successfully married to a Belarussian wife for over five years.  He has traveled extensively through Russia and other CIS countries.  He will tell you why you should consider Russian women, how to meet them, how to bring your special woman home, and how to survive married life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>With all the Health Insurance options that are available to us it can be overwhelming finding right health insurance plans for ourselves. There are literally dozens of companies with hundreds of plans to choose from. We have to agree that the main reason for having Health Insurance is to protect ourselves from large unexpected medical bills. So when comparing medical plans that is the main thing we should be looking at. Since IRS says that number one cause of Bankruptcy in the United States is medical bills, specifically medical bills that are over $17,000. We will keep that in mind as we will looks all the factors of selecting right health plan.</p>
<p>Before we get into comparing plans there are three main plan options to choose from: PPO (Proffered Provider Organization), HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) and HSA (Health Saving Account). The simple way to understand the differences is keep this in mind PPO plans will give the greatest flexibility and ability to choose your own doctor usually from a extensive network of doctors. Most PPO plans have reasonable monthly premiums and usually have a hospital deductibles ranging from $500 to $5000. We will get in to deductible and how they work later on. The simplest way to explain how HMO plans work is to think of a gate keeper system. That means that you get assigned to a specific doctor or medical office (Primary Care Physician) that you have to go thorough to get authorization to get medical care.</p>

<p>Number one thing we should be looking at is what is called &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221;, also might be called &#8220;Yearly Maximum out of Packet&#8221;. What that means is that amount is the maximum you can be out of pocket in any given year for ALL the medical expenses combined. Most of the time that amount will exclude prescription drug coverage deductibles and co-pays. When you are comparing health insurance plans it is important to find out if everything in the plan is applied towards the &#8220;Maximum out Of Pocket. Some plans that have attractive monthly premiums might have exclusions to where &#8220;Maximum out Of Pocket&#8221; is applied only for the hospital stays. Most of the PPO plans have &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; range from $3000 to $9000. For HMO plans &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; ranges from $1500 to $4500.  Most HSA plans have where your deductible is your maximum out of pocket.</p>
<p>Second we should be looking for a plan from a known insurance company name. There are a lot of large well established insurance companies that you might never hear of. Reasons for staying with a large well known insurance company are that you know they will pay your bills and not going to disappear. The other reason is that chances are most doctors will accept the insurance plan that they offer. I would definitely stay away from 99.9% of Association plans and small insurance companies with less than 10 billion in Assets. You can find that our by going to www.Forbs.com. To date largest insurance company that provides Health Insurance is Fortis and their health insurance plans are called &#8220;Assurant Health&#8221; (www.AssurantHealthCoverage.com). Largest health insurance provider in the United States is Wellpoint  serving approximately 34 million members nationwide. We all know them as Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Keep in mind that in some states Blue Cross and Blue Shield are owned by two completely different insurance companies.</p>
<p>Third we will be looking at the deductibles. There is a huge misconception with how deductibles work. The number one misconception with deductibles is that nothing is covered by the insurance company until this large deductible is met. The reality is that most plans cover most of the things before the deductible is met with small co-pay. In most cases deductible applies only for inpatient and out-patient hospital (surgeries, emergency room). Second misconception is that once deductible is met everything is covered 100% or in case of hospital stay all we will be responsible is the deductible. Although some plans do work that way, most health plans do not. Majority of health plans you are still responsible for, what s called co-insurance. That meant that you are still paying percentage of the bill usually 30% up to you &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; as me mentioned earlier.</p>
<p>That is why &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; is more important that the deductible. For example if you have a plan with a 2500 deductible and 30% hospital co-insurance, then you are responsible for 2500 plus 30% up to &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221;. There are some plan today available that have no deductible and they are relatively inexpensive. Chances are those are the plans that have high &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; in most cases over 7500 per person. In case of a family of four in worst case scenario you could be responsible for $30,000. If there is no deductible it does not meat that everything is covered at 100%. The way plans with no deductible work is by having you pay a percentage of the bill starting with the first dollar. Percentage could range anywhere from 30% to 50%, again up to your &#8220;Maximum out of Pocket&#8221; amount. The larger deductible you choose the lower monthly premium you will pay. My recommendation will be that you choose deductibles over 2500 unless you are planning on being admitted to the hospital often.</p>
<p>Fourth we will be looking at the prescription drug coverage. The reason prescription drug coverage is very important, because drugs can be very expensive. In the event of major illness or accident drug cost could be in the hundreds even thousands of dollars every month. Most plans do cover prescription drugs. There are few things to consider. First check if the plan has limits on how much the insurance company willing to pay for your prescription drugs per year. Most plans cover prescription drugs up to your life time maximum which should range anywhere from 2 million to 8 million. Some plans offer option where they will cover only generic drugs. This in most cases is sufficient. About 90% off all the brand name drugs have equivalent generic drug available. By choosing a plan that covers generic drugs only you can be saving a lot of money every month on you health insurance premium. Next you should be looking at the deductibles for the prescription drugs. In most cases if plans covers generic and brand name drugs you will have a deductible for brand name drug before your co-pay begins. Most brand name drug deductibles range anywhere from $250 to $1000. Majority of the health plans cover generic prescription drugs right away.</p>
<p>Fifth we will look at annual physical exam coverage. Most plans cover physical exams once a year. There are few things to consider. First if there a waiting period before you can get insurance company pay for your physical exam. Second what is the maximum that insurance company is willing to pay for your physical exam? Last is what your co-pay to get a physical exam is.</p>
<p>Sixth we will look at the doctor visit co-pays. That means what is the amount that you are responsible for after witch insurance company pays for everything at 100%. There are some options to consider. Doctor office visit co-pay could range anywhere from $10 to $50. Some plan might have you pay a percentage of the doctor s office visit. After witch insurance company is willing to pay at 100%. Second thing to consider is if the co-pay included lab work and x-ray. Most of the time Lab work and x-rays is billed separately. Company like Assurant Health is willing to pay up to $100 for your lab work and x-rays as part of your co-pay. One of the main things that most people look for in a plan is, how much is their co-pay to go to a doctor? Even though no one in history ever went bankrupt because they could not pay for their doctor visit. If you were to going to pay out of pocket for your doctors visit it will probably cost you anywhere from $45 to $100. The only way it is going to be more than that is of you had sad lab work or minor out patient surgery done.</p>
<p>After reading this article you should have idea of what kind of plan you might want for your self and your family. The one additional thing that I would consider is how well your plan travels with you. For example if you decide to move to a different state or if you travel outside of the country. Most plans do not travel well and most don t cover you if you are outside the country. I most cases if you can a plan in one state and you decide to move to a different state you have to cancel the plans in the state you are moving from and re-apply in the new state. Even if you had same insurance company in the state that you are moving from. For more great articles and resources visit our website.</p>

<p>Global warming is not a 20th century phenomenon.  It has, in fact, occurred in the past more than once, along with periods of extreme cold known as the ice ages.  With so much written and reported about global warming, sometimes it s difficult to detect which is fact and which is just part of scientific scare tactics.  Here are some facts about global warming that might help:</p>
<p>What exactly is global warming?<br />
Global warming is basically the increase in the temperatures of the Earth s atmosphere, land masses and oceans.  The Earth s surface temperature is at an average of 59F and over the last hundred years, this figure has risen to about 1F.  By the year 2100, the average change in the temperature of the Earth could range from 2.5F to about 10F, enough to melt glaciers and polar ice caps.</p>
<p>The cause of global warming<br />
Global warming has and will always occur naturally.  Why it has become such a concern in our lifetime is due to the fact that human activities and practices have contributed significantly to its occurrence and severity.  With the advent of industrialization and careless environmental practices, we have caused the increase in the average global temperatures by contributing negatively to the greenhouse effect.</p>
<p>This began about 240 years ago, when the Industrial Revolution was born.  As more and more fossil fuels in the form of oil were mined and burned, gases as the by-product of that process began to be released in the atmosphere.  Currently, it is estimated that 75% of the increase in the carbon dioxide content of the Earth s atmosphere is caused by the burning of these fossil fuels.</p>
<p>Global warming and the greenhouse effect<br />
Global warming is related to changes in the Earth s greenhouse effect.  Gases naturally occur in the Earth s atmosphere and act both to protect and retain heat.  These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapor.  Of these, water vapor is the most dominant and abundant greenhouse gas.</p>
<p>Global warming and the greenhouse effect are not the same thing.  The greenhouse effect refers to a natural process that occurs in the Earth s atmosphere.  If this process is disrupted, then it could contribute to global warming.</p>
<p>As the sun s rays hit the Earth, heat is bounced back to the atmosphere where these gases contain the heat and keep it there to warm the planet.  This is an important natural process and allows life forms to flourish and survive.  Problems only occur when these gases multiply and build-up, containing heat too efficiently and thus warming the Earth s atmosphere.</p>
<p>As the Earth s average temperature rises, effects in its landmasses and sea water level become apparent.  Polar ice caps melt along with glaciers, contributing to higher and warmer sea levels.  By the end of the century, it is estimated that sea levels can increase from 4 inches to a high of about 40 inches if global warming continues unabated.</p>
<p>Global warming can also affect the behavior of the winds and can also contribute to a harsher and drier climate, with frequent visitings of strong hurricanes.  Water from heavier rainfall will not stay long to irrigate the land, however because with a warmer climate, water on the Earth s surface will evaporate quickly.  This has a significant effect on agricultural practices not only in the US but also for the rest of the world.</p>
<p>Another phenomenon that is equated with global warming is the El Nino.  The El Nino phenomenon has occurred for possibly thousands of years and is not caused directly by global warming.  However, changes in the average temperature of the planet can contribute to its severity and frequency.</p>
<p>Other human practices that contribute to global warming<br />
The agricultural revolution has also contributed to global warming.  As more and more communities need lands converted from forests to residential and commercial areas, biomass is reduced, contributing to the increase in the presence of carbon dioxide in those regions.  Since carbon dioxide is processed by plants and trees, their absence contributes to its increase.</p>
<p>It is estimated that about 25% of the annual increase in the carbon dioxide found in the Earth s atmosphere is caused by extreme changes and usage of the Earth s natural resources.  Other practices also include deforestation, salinization, desertification and overgrazing also contribute to global warming.  However, many scientists surmise and agree that the contribution is slight and indirect.</p>
<p>Facing the facts of global warming<br />
Countries all over the world have just begun to acknowledge the negative effects of global warming not only to the world s politics and economy but also to humankind in general.  Many of the world s governments have encouraged implementation of measures to try to counteract the problem of global warming through careful measures and practices designed to protect and respect the environment.</p>
<p>How these measures will fare and contribute to the long-term maintenance of our planet, though, remains to be seen.</p>

<p>We all hope that we never need disability insurance or critical illness insurance. However, a lot of us do find ourselves at some point in our lives thankful that we spent those few dollars per week for just such a case. It could be something as simple as a fall a fall from a ladder putting up those holiday lights to something that will be more than just a temporary disruption in your life in the case of a critical illness.</p>
<p>With the stress and frustration caused by a temporary or permanent disability or a critical illness, disability insurance and critical illness insurance help you not only weather the financial difficulties you may encounter during your down time but also to take some of the emotional strain away that financial difficulties are certain to create. After all, it s much easier to focus on just yourself and getting better at such a time when you don t have the added stress of financial problems.</p>
<p>It is important to be familiar with the policy you choose and any issues you may have should the need for you to file a claim arise so that you can choose the policy that best suits you and your lifestyle. Once you ve chosen your policy, if you ever find yourself needing to file a claim, your first step should of course be to notify your employer. They will likely appoint someone, usually a human resource officer, to help you with the paperwork and to be sure, you have everything you need to file your claim and start your benefits. This is an invaluable help in getting answers to any questions you may have and preventing delays that could come from incomplete or missing paperwork. They will also help to guide you along the way after all, they want you happy, healthy and back at work as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Your physician s office is another invaluable tool in helping you with your claims. They will work closely with your claims representative to be sure your recovery is progressing as it should be and submit updates and requests for treatments so that your benefits are unencumbered.</p>
<p>So, as you can see, while we all hope that we never need to use such insurance, if we should unfortunately find ourselves needing to, the peace of mind provided by disability insurance and critical illness insurance can be just as an important tool in a speedy recovery as the we doctor choose and the services and treatments they provide.</p>
<p>Natalie Aranda writes about health and health insurance. With the stress and frustration caused by a temporary or permanent disability or a critical illness, disability insurance and critical illness insurance help you not only weather the financial difficulties you may encounter during your down time but also to take some of the emotional strain away that financial difficulties are certain to create.</p>

<p>Choosing a life insurance plan is difficult it takes a lot of time and research in order to ensure that all aspects are thoroughly examined before making a final decision. There are basically two forms of life insurance to choose from: term life insurance and permanent life insurance.</p>
<p>Below you will find valuable information regarding both forms of life insurance as well as other helpful information which will assist you in deciding which form of life insurance is best suited for you and your situation.</p>
<p>The first thing to do is to research and understand the concept of both forms of life insurance. These two forms of insurance have been compared to buying or leasing a car. Term life insurance is much like leasing a car, you can purchase insurance for a specific number of years, but once those years are up, so is your insurance coverage. Permanent life insurance is similar to buying a car. When you buy a car, it s yours and you can drive it forever if you like. Permanent life insurance stays with you until you die.</p>
<p>Depending on your situation, each form of insurance can be very beneficial and offer many great opportunities. Below you will find a more in-depth explanation of each form of insurance providing advantages and disadvantages of both.</p>
<p>Term Life Insurance</p>
<p>Benefits</p>
<p>-	Term life insurance is inexpensive and can cost a considerable amount less than permanent life insurance.<br /> <br />
-	There are no strings attached with this form of insurance and you are free to stop paying whenever you want.<br />
-	You can begin using term insurance and if you feel like you want more coverage, you can then convert to permanent life insurance if you wish.</p>
<p>Downfalls</p>
<p>-	Term life insurance only provides coverage. There are no other rewards and there is no cash value.<br />
-	Yes you are free to stop paying whenever you please, but should you choose to do so you will no longer have any life insurance coverage.<br />
-	Term prices increase at a rapid pace as you get older and as you get older, your need for this type of insurance will become more and more crucial.</p>
<p>Permanent Life Insurance</p>
<p>Benefits</p>
<p>-	Permanent life insurance can accumulate into cash value and savings. Any cash value which you receive will be tax deferred.<br />
-	There is no risk involved in this form of insurance. Your loved ones will receive a death benefit regardless of when you pass away, whereas term life insurance will only pay out if you happen to be covered when you die.<br />
-	You can borrow the cash value you receive to pay for college, a vehicle, etc. You can do this without receiving a penalty for doing so.</p>
<p>Downfalls</p>
<p>-	The most noticeable disadvantage to permanent life insurance is the cost. This form of life insurance will cost you a great deal more than term life insurance.<br /> <br />
-	Should you decide to forgo your permanent life insurance coverage, you will be required to pay a large penalty which will be bounded by law.</p>

<p>It has become evident that the fertility of both men and women is decreasing in an accelerating pace, over the last few years. An increasing number of couples report having trouble getting pregnant, and many of them turn to a fertility clinic, and consult with a fertility doctor about their problem.</p>
<p>There is wide verity of Infertility Risk Factors for Men and Women. Let s cover a few of them:</p>
<p>Infertility causes For Men:</p>
<p>1.A man may suffer from infertility after having genital infection, or sexually transmitted diseases</p>
<p>2. Exposure to dangerous areas, such as areas with radiation or radioactivity. Also handling dangerous materials such as lead,  ethylene dibromine, and vinyl chloride.</p>
<p>3. Smoking cigarettes or marijuana effects the fertility levels of men.</p>
<p>4. Heavy use of drugs and/or alcohol.</p>
<p>5. If genitals are exposed to high temperatures, than fertility may decrease temporarily or permanently.</p>
<p>6. DES taken by mother during pregnancy may cause giving birth to a sterile baby boy.</p>
<p>7. Taking prescription drugs for ulcers or psoriasis</p>
<p>8. Undergoing a hernia repair surgery</p>
<p>9. Having mumps after puberty</p>
<p>And as for infertility causes For Women - woman s reproduction system is more complex, therefore, woman s inability to ovulate, conceive, or deliver a child successfully, can come from the following reasons:</p>
<p>1. The age factor is a key player in woman s fertility. Women in their late 30s are about 30 percent less fertile than women in their early 20s</p>
<p>2. Irregularities with the function of the endometriosis may decrease fertility.</p>
<p>3. All kinds of chronic diseases (lupus, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis or asthma)</p>
<p>4.  Hormonal imbalance - can be treated with medication, in many cases.</p>
<p>5. Environmental factors - smoking cigarettes, alcohol drinking, exposure to workplace toxins or hazards.</p>
<p>6.  excessive or very low body fat</p>
<p>7.  DES taken by mother during pregnancy may effect fertility</p>
<p>8.  Sexually transmitted diseases</p>
<p>9. Fallopian tube disease</p>
<p>10. Multiple miscarriages</p>
<p>It s easy to observe that a few of the infertility factors have increased in the last few decades. For example, many couples get married in their 30s, thus having a statistically increased chance of infertility. Another factor is the increased environmental factors - today s world is polluted and more toxic than ever, and it affects the fertility or man and woman alike.<br />
In today s hectic lifestyle, we are also much more stressed out than we were 40 years ago. This is another factor that effects fertility.</p>
<p>To conclude - the modern life style has it s price when it comes to men and woman s ability to conceive and bring a child to this world. This trend continues to grow, and some predict that in 100 years most men will be sterile. If we don t do something to better our world fast, our grandchildren will pay the price.</p>

<p>Genetics constitutes, as we all know, the next new &#8220;final frontier&#8221; in medicine. It holds out huge promises for the future of medical science. Associated and likened to a treasure mine, and rightly so. Genetics truly offers a vast wealth of previously untapped medical capital and the insurance companies have been quick to notice.</p>
<p>The health care industry as a whole is slowly using genetic screening in deciding treatment regimens and in devising preventative measure for patients. The insurance industry has also taken a keen interest in the use of genetic testing for the purposes of determining who is at risk for which diseases. Ultimately, this information might be used assist them in setting premiums for individuals. The danger here is that genetic science is still in its infancy. The mapping of the human gene code was only recently completed. There is still, as yet many diseases and conditions of which there are no known genetics markers. Carriers of the known genetic markers would argue that setting premiums based on of their test results would constitute unfair manipulation of premium calculations. It could be argued that for each known genetic marker for a condition, there could be thousands more diseases and conditions with genetic determination but without any known and documented markers.</p>
<p>Using genetic markers in determining the actual risk an individual might have, is in practice more difficult as genetic risk is not the single or most important factor responsible for causing an illness. Several other factors, including diet, exercise, exposure to chemicals and stress among others, may all play equally important roles in causing diseases in those with genetic predisposition to a disease condition. If allowed, we might get situations whereby, insurance companies refuse to insure certain individuals or quote premiums too high that the individual or family becomes in essence, uninsurable.</p>
<p>The government has stressed that healthcare is a collective effort and thus, everyone has to contribute something. The money used for the treatment of any member of the community will have to come from the contributions of the community of insured members. The surplus would become profits for the insurance. The government, keen to avoid a healthcare catastrophe has warned that genetic testing should not be used in calculating premiums, or at least should be used with caution.</p>
<p>Since life insurance is not regarded as essential by the government, the effects of genetic testing being adopted as a risk assessment tool will probably feature prominently in this area.</p>
<p>Genetic testing still is an expensive exercise. Though it will add to the predictive array of tools used by insurers to set premiums, its use is still shrouded in controversy. Presently, insurers set premiums using information about an individual s health, lifestyle, family history and investigations ranging from blood testing and heart monitoring to HIV tests.</p>
<p>Genetic testing may still have a lot to offer the insurance companies, but to what extent it will be used will depend on the speed of development in the field and the predictive accuracy of any formulas for risk calculation.</p>
