The Healthcare Job Market Of The Future

By J.D Theis

The healthcare job market is witnessing a boom of sorts. There are a lot of new players entering the healthcare industry. And this is at a time when the mortality rate is going down. The average life span of human beings around the planet is increasing by the day.

Modern medicine can be traced back to the times of Hippocrates, the Greek physician who paved the way for the allopathic system of medicine. There are several allied streams of medicine like ayurvedic, homeopathic and unani which are recognized as real medicine. However they are practiced in only a few parts of the world.

So, where are we in terms of healthcare and where are we headed to?

Healthcare is no longer going to be just about prescribing medicine or conducting surgery. That is what is happening at the present. In our country and much of the developed world, we do have labs which conduct tests on each and every sample that is taken from a patient. However, much of the developing world does not have access to this.

The ancillary healthcare jobs are the ones which will drive the health care industry of the future. Solving the DNA code is the key to discovering the cause of each and every disease that affects the human body.

So what are the steps being taken to solve the DNA code?

Genetic engineers around the planet are devising new means of deciphering the DNA of humans. In fact the DNA sequences of many lesser organisms like lab rats have already been deciphered. Computer engineers are also being employed to run complex algorithms to find out what exactly is the pattern in the human DNA chain. There are databases being created to store the vast array of information that is being produced about the human DNA. Maybe one day we will be able to find out how healthy a child is right when it is born. Mechanisms can be devised to reengineer the DNA sequence in order to produce better human beings.

This science is known as eugenics. It is a hope to create a race of human beings who are so advanced that they can never fall sick. These super humans will also have special powers based on requirements. Super soldiers of the future will have muscles which will never tire and lungs that can hold oxygen for maybe an entire hour. This is very much possible given that the animal kingdom already has organisms which display such traits.

The possibilities are limitless and the challenges are diverse. But it will take time and a lot of effort, but it will happen. - 23211

How Can Long Term Care Insurance Keep Up With Inflation?

By Neil Gholson

How can long term care insurance Keep Up With Inflation? When purchasing a long term care insurance policy, it is important to have an inflation protection rider included in your policy.

Since many people who purchase policies do not access their benefits for many years, having inflation protection helps keep your policy competitive with the rising cost of care. A 5 percent compound inflation protection rider is recommended for individuals purchasing long term care insurance who are under age 65. A more modest inflation protection option of 5 percent simple interest is recommended for people over age 65. With compound inflation doubling in--.3 years, a 50 year old who purchases a $150 daily benefit with 5 percent compound inflation protection will have a $300 daily benefit by the time they are 65. The daily benefit will have grown by 5 percent compound each year. With simple inflation doubling in about 20 years, a 65 year old that purchases a policy with a $150 daily benefit and 5 percent simple inflation protection will have a policy that will have grown to $300 by the time they are 85 years of age. The daily benefit will have grown by 5 percent simple each year.

These types of inflation protection are automatic. The daily benefit will automatically increase by 5 percent compound or simple each year and premiums will stay level. We know what the cost of care is today but in 20 or 30 years when an individual is more likely to go on claim, having a policy without inflation protection will not provide enough coverage when it comes to claim time. Although having the inflation protection rider in your policy has been proven to keep your policy competitive, this finding is also due to the shift in care received in nursing homes toward assisted living and home and community based alternatives.

Recent studies have shown that more than 80 percent of the costs of care will be covered by such policies. Other options include a Guaranteed Purchase Option (GPO), or the option to increase coverage. This option differs greatly from an automatic inflation protection rider. Having a GPO is not automatic and your premiums are not level. With a GPO you can choose to increase your benefits periodically for example, every two or three years. A GPO usually gives you the option to increase your benefit by 5%, 10% or 15% of the original amount of your daily benefit. When you do increase your benefit, your premium will increase. The increase in premium is dependent upon the age you are at that time. If you increase your daily benefit regularly then you usually do not have to show evidence of insurability. If you do not regularly increase your benefit, you may not be given the chance again.

Inflation protection can be one of the most important decisions that you can make when purchasing a long-term care insurance policy. With the rising cost of care it is important that your benefits have raised throughout time or you may find years from now your policy is not adequate enough to pay for your care. - 23211

The Dying Dollar and Forex

By James Pynn

While Paris burns, and the economy plunges into the new Dark Ages, you may want to get a piece of the proverbial action before the only thing we've got left is bartering chickens. I may be exaggerating, but most financial pundits are heralding the death of the dollar, the ascendancy of gold, and the new strength of foreign currency. While you may not be able to do much about the dollar, or buying into gold outright, you can indulge in the booming forex training services online.

The forex market is responsible for roughly $4 trillion in daily revenue. That's right, you read that correctly -- daily. This incredible sum takes into account the relative strength and weakness of a variety of world currencies. Yes, for now the dollar is king, but most forecasts say this will not be the case come 2012 or 2018. The end of the greenback's dominance is making way for the crafty Euro, the developing Chinese Yuan, and the assured Australian dollar.

Diversifying your financial portfolio is a given. In fact, it's a tired cliche. What to diversify it with is anybody's guess. Mutual funds, hedge funds, commodities, stocks -- the sky is the limit. What could prove to be the best option could be a decent round of currency diversification.

Play it safe. Round out your dollars with some currencies from nations that are poised to inherit the 21st Century. It is no secret the Chinese are poised to become the largest economy in the world. You can add the Indians. Brazilians, and Australians to that list as well. The newfound strength of these economies is the fact they are based on solid factors, like manufacturing and production. Indeed, they are economies that are moving to accrue more gold and precious metal with which they can back their currencies.

The death of the American way of life as we know it will not come without some opportunities for savvy investors. World currencies, unless there is a new world currency, will always be a lucrative trade. The key is understanding how to conduct these trades legally and effectively. - 23211

Tips To Buy Low Cost Health Insurance

By J.D Theis

Health insurance is a basic need for each and every member of your family. It is no longer just an added advantage, but a basic necessity. With the prevailing economic situation, it becomes all the more important to have a good back up incase things take a turn for the worse.

Firstly, how do you go about getting a low cost health insurance?

The first thing to do is to look on the internet. Try to find insurance companies which will give you the lowest health insurance quote for the conditions you have listed out. And then once you have shortlisted a number of insurance companies, the next step is to research the background of these insurance companies.

Ask around with your friends or family. A lot of them would already have a long association with a reliable health insurance agency. Try to ask them how their experience was while dealing with claims and reimbursements. This way you will get an idea as to which company are more customers friendly.

Once you do this, you can go ahead and talk to the agent sent over by the insurance agency. Again, you must now decide which type of health insurance you are going to go for.

If you are just looking for the cheapest option with no regard to the flexibility involved, then the managed care plans are the best for you. But do be aware that there will be a lot of time spent on pursuing claims and getting simple treatments. But it is fine if you are retired or have a lot of spare time. you might end up spending the whole day getting a single check up , but it all depends on how much value you associate to your time. and do be aware that transport is also important. The insurance company may send you to any given clinic; you must have access to suitable transport which can take you there without hassle.

A slightly more costly option is the HMO or health management organization. These organizations will provide you with all the health care needs that you are looking for under one roof. They usually have a centralized health care facility which you can visit whenever you want.

Fee for service is very expensive and gives you the highest flexibility. If you are paid by the hour, then maybe this is a good option for you. - 23211
