PacifiCare’s Denials 40%, Cigna’s 33% in First Half of 2009
OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — More than one of every five requests for medical claims for insured patients, even when recommended by a patient’s physician, are rejected by California’s largest private insurers, amounting to very real death panels in practice daily in the nation’s biggest state, according to data released today by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee.
CNA/NNOC researchers analyzed data reported by the insurers to the California Department of Managed Care. From 2002 through June 30, 2009, the six largest insurers operating in California rejected 31.2 million claims for care - 21 percent of all claims…[sometimes it helps to look at actual data on these issues…rather than just shouting because some TV guy said it’s socialism…]

Moderate drinking may actually be beneficial to one’s health. Some studies have shown that a two drink maximum per day for men, one drink maximum per day for women can actually lower the risk of heart disease (especially red wine).
However, a greater alcohol intake depletes the body of certain nutrients, especially amino acids, chromium, vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins like thiamin, folic acid and vitamin B6 - taking supplements of these is recommended for heavy drinkers and those in recovery. Some studies suggest that lecithin may help repair liver damage caused by alcohol consumption.

Smokers tend to deplete the body of vitamin C, folic acid, thiamine and vitamin B6, so taking supplements may be recommended by your doctor.
Выяснилось, что после приёма сока свёклы добровольцы в среднем смогли крутить педали на 92 секунды дольше (итого 11,25 минуты), чем при поглощении черносмородинного плацебо. Получается, что этот овощной сок повышает выносливость на 16%. Если переводить в покрываемое расстояние, то выходит, что одну и ту же дистанцию сок позволяет осилить по времени на 2% быстрее.
“Foods that speed up your metabolism are vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, fish, healthy fats and whole grains. Look for these vegetables when shopping: spinach, broccoli, carrots, asparagus, cabbage, beet roots, assorted beans and dark, leafy vegetables. Any type of fresh fruit is good for you, but try eating blueberries, melons, apples, citrus fruits and tomatoes. Skinless poultry and eggs are excellent sources of protein. The omega 3 fatty acids in fish boost your metabolism by burning up to 400 calories a day. The enzymes in your body that burn fat increase while those that store fat decrease. If you are not a fish eater, take omega 3 capsules that contain a minimum of 300 milligrams total of EPA and DHA. Eat healthy fats like nuts and peanut butter. Whole grains found in brown rice, cereal, barley and oats speed up your metabolism as well. Consume foods with B vitamins, magnesium and fiber to increase your metabolism.”
