Health Savings Accounts Are Creating Innovative Medical Services
Posted by admin in Medical Association on September 16, 2011
The new world of consumer-driven healthcare is opening up many opportunities for people to save money on their medical expenses. As more people carry high deductible plans in conjunction with health savings accounts, medical providers are beginning to compete for that business in a variety of innovative ways. One way many people are saving money on doctor visits is through telephone consultations.
Many times an expensive doctor visit could be avoided if you could just talk to the doctor to discuss the situation over the phone. If you could do a quick email exchange and have a prescription waiting for you at the pharmacy, you could save time and money, and let the funds in your Health Savings Account continue to grow for your retirement. There are now online physician consultation services that allow you to do just that.
At Last! Medical Marijuana Bill Gets to Washington, DC!
Posted by admin in Medical Association on September 16, 2011
It seems unbelievable, but medical marijuana might soon be making its way towards the capital of the USA, although it’s been repeatedly rejected by Congress throughout the years of research. Hopefully, soon medical marijuana doctors will celebrate the victory of their efforts as well as will people, whose only hope is marijuana treatment.
Back in 1998, Washington electors placed themselves next to the leading edge of the initiating movement of marijuana, when they polled about 3-7 for physician prescribed drug, which is now known as the medicine obtaining via a medical marijuana card. This was a much larger number of people than in any of the other 8 statewide vote initiatives, which have been maintained throughout the country. But no festive smoking have then followed, at least not yet. In place, ballot workers expended that vote night disguising the voting results, in protection from a last-minute amendment of the congress drawing assets from Washington, D.C. for the consideration of any initiative of drug certification. By the way, the election bulletins were printed before the prohibition, but it was decided by the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics that to pursue the purpose of the law, the results must be kept back after the votes are figured.
