LOS ANGELES, CA, February 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) No matter how health conscious Californians would like to be, injuries, accidents, and illnesses are a fact of life. These unfortunate mishaps can pop up without a warning and send even the healthiest of people into the emergency room or to a doctor. This has left millions of Californians unsure of where to turn for health coverage for them and their families. In an attempt to make this process just a little bit smoother, the leading provider for health insurance in California, Sofi Insurance, is now offering free consultations to all customers before they make that final decision on a policy.
The Need for Health Coverage California
The Center for Disease Control has recently shown that Americans will visit the emergency room over 123 million times a year. This means that 2 out of 5 people will be making a trip into the ER during 2012, with 13% of those visits resulting in hospital admissions. With trips costing anywhere from $500 to $5,000 or more, a broken toe or flu could put anyone without health coverage in serious trouble.
Finding Solutions for Health Care California
Sofi Insurance has simplified the process of finding group or individual health insurance in Los Angeles like no other company before them. The entire process can be accomplished in three simple steps carried out right through their website. Users input only the most basic of their information and their desired coverage before receiving a series of quotes that can be compared with one another. Then, instead of being forced to deal with salespeople, customers can apply online to whichever policies seem right for them, their family, and their circumstances. For those that are unsure of what coverage options to explore, Sofi Insurance has specialists waiting to offer free consultations to anyone that needs them.
There are always going to be reasons to put off shopping for insurance policies and coverage. With companies like Sofi Insurance making this process easier than ever, 2012 may be the year that more Californians than ever are protected by the insurance coverage that they need.

An emerging class of long-lasting flu vaccines could do more than just save people the trouble of an annual flu shot.

Universal, or cross-protective, vaccines — so named for their effectiveness against several flu strains — are being developed in various labs worldwide and some are already in clinical trials.

The poor, in fact, are less likely to sue their doctor
2012-02-27
Contrary to the common perception among physicians that poor people sue doctors more frequently, Ramon L. Jimenez from the Monterey Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute and his team demonstrate that socioeconomically disadvantaged patients, in fact, tend to sue physicians less often. Their work suggests that this myth may exist because of subconscious prejudices or stereotypes that affect thinking and decision making without doctors being aware of it - a phenomenon known as unconscious bias. Dr. Jimenez and his colleagues' work is published online in Springer's journal, ...
