Written by Emily Napier Friday, 4 May 2012
During the health care debate leading up to the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) many argued that consumers should be able to purchase health insurance across state lines. Basically, if you live in New York you could purchase health insurance from an insurer in New Jersey.
Proponents of purchasing health insurance across state lines thought this would make health insurance rates more competitive across the country and would allow consumers to save money by purchasing more affordable plans.
Currently there are three states that have passed laws intending to allow out-of-state health insurers to offer policies to residents including Rhode Island, Wyoming and Georgia.

Weight Loss: A Matter Of Know-How
Written by Emily Napier Thursday, 12 April 2012

In situations like this you should remember that restaurant portions are quite often very large. Perhaps you can request a carry-out box and put a substantial portion of the meal inside even before you begin to eat. Dividing a meal into two (or more) portions not only cuts caloric intake, but it also gives you another meal option for later.
Doing chores around your house each day may help keep extra pounds away. As you clean your house, you will burn quite a few calories.
