Stimulating Your Health Care

The economic stimulus bill signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009 contains more than $140 billion in health care spending for Medicare, research, and insurance. It is designed mostly to ease the recession's effects on workers and also to boost long-held goals of improving the nation's health information infrastructure.

Most of the money is targeted to programs providing health coverage to low-income families or programs that help workers keep private coverage if they lose their jobs. But the new law also provides billions of dollars for medical research and incentives for doctors and hospitals to buy and use electronic medical records systems.

It also, for the first time, directly commits federal dollars to studies comparing medical treatments head-to-head. The hope is that the studies will tell policymakers, doctors, and insurance companies which treatments actually work best and which are the most cost-effective. For more information about the new administration and health care, visit the White House website.

We at Aflac also help thousands of families make it through tough times. Aflac is still the #1 supplemental insurance company in the world. We offer very affordable programs including Cancer, Hospitalization, Accident, Disability, and Life Insurance. Feel free to contact me to find out about coverage for you, your family, or your employees. Remember, if you are an employee in these hard financial times, ask about us at work.

Children Are Highest Priority at Aflac Cancer Center

As you may know, Aflac helps thousands of people everyday; they send claim checks to policyholders by the thousands every day as well. What is somewhat less known is that Aflac is helping children and young adults in a BIG way. The Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta provides family-centered advanced medical treatment to children and young adults.

The Center has earned an esteemed place as one of the top five childhood cancer centers in the United States. Aflac's highly educated and trained personnel treat their patients with the latest advances in the medical field -- moreover, they treat their patients with the highest degree of dignity and respect. The Aflac Center is especially proud of their impact on the cure and overall survival rates of their patients.

Please have a look at their site to learn more about the great work they are doing, and how you may be able to help out. Always throw your support behind the causes in the world that aim to help people, often when they cannot help themselves. You do make a difference.

The Way to Protect You and Your Family

Many, if not most, families do a number of things to protect themselves against the on-going daily struggle we all call "life." People put alarms on their windows, doors, and cars; others save money in banks to be ready for circumstances beyond their control. Almost everyone goes to the doctor or takes aspirin. These are all very good things to do, but many people simply do not think about insuring themselves and their families, often until it is too late.

I have been working with Aflac -- yes, that would be the famous duck company. For those of us who have an Aflac policy, we know we can be confident should bad things happen. Aflac's supplemental insurance coverages include accident, sickness, hospitalization, cancer, disability, dental, and life insurance. Policies are available to you and your family, whether it be direct or through the company you work at. If I were to offer the coverage through your job, it would be sightly less expensive than if you were to get it direct (even though it is still inexpensive).

All of Aflac's policies pay directly to you, which means that if you were to sprain your ankle playing baseball, even if your major medical insurance covered all of the medical bills, Aflac would still pay you cash. Aflac does not interfere with any other coverage that you may already have!

I will be writing about various events that involve all of us, and I can answer questions about various Aflac programs. I am licensed in New York to provide health and life insurance; I work in New York City and Nassau County, but can do business anywhere in New York and Pennsylvania. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more information about Aflac or any other insurance questions.
