Your current and past health history is the most important consideration to a health insurer's underwriting department when determining what to charge you for your policy and whether or not to issue a policy at all. That means that the illnesses you have suffered, injuries you have endured and medications you are taking will affect your health insurance quotes. But why should your health affect the rates for your health insurance policy?Health insurance pays for many things including illnesses, injuries from accidents and preventative treatments. But health insurance also pays for those medical expenses associated with a long, ongoing illness that you contracted before buying your most recent policy. If you buy a health insurance policy today, chances are good that the insurance company will incur many charges that result from the illnesses you already have. Because of this, your health insurance quotes are going to add additional premium that compensates for this likelihood. And even if you haven't had an illness but a family member of yours has, then you are going to face a higher premium because the likelihood of you having a similar health profile to your relatives is high.Also...more

Whether these reviews are posted online or in other periodicals or journals, there are many perspectives and opinions on their validity and use. It has generally been found that rating physicians has been a good idea and a beneficial practice. There are, however, many things to keep in mind when perusing physician reviews.When patients review their doctors, it forces physicians to come clean about their performance. In the past, information about physicians services have been mired in seclusion and lack of information. With the advent of patient reviews, doctors are forced to face criticisms of their practices. However, some argue that it is hard to assess the validity of these doctor ratings. Patients may not have adequate knowledge of the medical field to make an informed and balanced assessment. In other cases, it is hard to assign the failure of a treatment to a specific party. Because of the nature of health care practice and the dynamic of patient and physician relations, it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint...more
