The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or COBRA, allows unemployed workers to keep their health insurance from their previous employer for up to 18 months.

Up until the 15-month subsidy was approved last year as part of the federal economic stimulus bill, laid-off workers were required to pick up the full premium. With the subsidy, the unemployed paid 35 percent of the cost.

That subsidy is now at risk while the U.S. Senate considers whether to extend it. It was eliminated from one jobs bill but is included in a second jobs bill. The Senate, however, has not decided which bill it plans to hear, said Cheryl Fish-Parcham, director of health-care policy for Families USA.

If the subsidy is allowed to expire, no one laid off after Feb. 28 will be eligible for the reduced premiums.

That could mean many won’t be able to afford the premiums and would join the growing rolls of the uninsured, according to Families USA, a national organization for health care consumers.

Throwing a lifeline

The federal subsidy “gives people a small margin of hope,” said Terra Eyl, a career transition specialist with the Larimer County Workforce Center in Fort Collins.

Without the subsidy, COBRA premiums can cost upwards of $1,000 a month making it unaffordable for most families trying to live on unemployment benefits.
Even with the subsidy, COBRA payments can be unaffordable for people, particularly those with lower incomes, Eyl said. “But a small margin of hope is better than no margin, in my opinion.”

Families USA estimates an additional 57,500 Coloradans became uninsured last year when they lost their jobs. And, although economic recovery appears to be under way, economists agree job growth is still a long way off, meaning the unemployment rate is likely to rise this year.

One quarter of Larimer County residents between 18 and 65 were uninsured at some point from 2005 through the end of 2007, according to Health District of Northern Larimer County, the latest statistics available.

A study looking into the eating habits of teenage girls suggests that the use of diet pills in young women is climbing at alarming rates. Research conducted by the University of Minnesota’s “Project EAT” (Eating Among Teens) showed that 62.7% of female teenagers use moderately unhealthy weight management methods, while 27.9% use very unhealthy weight management methods. These methods include the abuse of diet pills, skipping meals, vomiting and laxatives. Teenage girls who use diet pills and succumb to eating disorders have a much higher chance of developing serious health conditions in the future, such as osteoporosis.

Efforts are now being made to understand why teenaged girls are turning to drastic weight loss methods to lose weight. Exploring the physical fitness and eating patterns among teenage girls has shown that more and more girls are obsessive about their weight. During the teenage years, physical activity considerably reduces, especially with girls. This inevitably leads to weight gain and girls look for the quickest means to lose weight. Many teenage girls have resorted to some drastic measures to attain the waif-like figures of supermodels and celebrities in the media. Some of these girls start using diet pills as early as the age of 13.

Many diet pills are sold over the counter and serve to fuel this unhealthy trend. Some of these diet pills are very effective at suppressing appetite and are able to diminish the desire to eat. Such pills have been branded unsafe for use by teenagers because they encourage the development of unhealthy eating patterns, and in some cases eating disorders such as anorexia.

Diet pills that contain stimulants raise the body’s temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. Examples of diet pills that contain stimulants are Xenadrine and Hydroxycut as well as other products that contain ephedra, green tea extract, bitter orange extract and caffeine. Of all these products, ephedra diet pills pose the greatest risks for teenagers. In some extreme cases of abuse and misuse of these diet pills, teenagers have been found to develop high blood pressure, heart valve damage, heart attack, stroke and other life threatening conditions before the age of 20. In some cases, teenagers have died from the use of ephedra and ephedrine products.

As a parent or concerned friend, you may be looking for the warning signs that a teenager is using diet pills unsupervised. Unfortunately, the use of diet pills by teenagers can go undetected; however there are a few signs of unhealthy eating and poor body image that should always be addressed when displayed. For example, constant complaining about weight and body fat, skipping meals and an obsession with being thin are all indicators that the teenager may be developing an eating disorder or is struggling with very poor body image. In the cases where diet pills are being abused or misused for rapid weight loss, a teenager may experience drastic weight fluctuations, mood swings, hair loss, bad breath, dizzy spells and increased blood pressure.

With studies indicating startling numbers of teenagers using diet pills, parents need to take a more active role in making their children feel good about themselves and teaching them healthier methods of weight control. Teenagers who have a positive attitude regarding their bodies have less chances of being overweight, both as children and as adults.

Talking about all natural skin care arbonne products and alike: With pollution rising and the ozone thinning, and the effects of global warming starting to really build up a head of steam, there has never been a more important time to protect and look after your skin than today. The skin is not merely about appearances; it is also your major defensive organism against germ, disease and infection. So serious skin care is not just a life style it’s a necessity, make it a priority!

With all the advancements in technology and science, it seems ironic that we as a generation are finding the true value in the products of nature. For example the all natural skin care Arbonne range has harnessed the power of nature, botanically based, with the purest ingredients with the most amazing results!

Unfortunately with the advancements in science and skin care research a lot of the products out there are made from harmful synthetic toxins and chemicals. There is no need to go that route when there is an all natural skin care Arbonne product for your every need, with lines in make-up, lotions skin care lines and more.

Products

Arbonne isn’t found in stores, but is part sold by a multi-level marketing company similar to Amway, so a little more effort may be required to get hold of the product but the effort will be worth it. The product is made in the United States and researched and formulated in Switzerland.

Another similar product Obagi skin care is one of the most recognized names in the world of skin health care – and it’s arguably the choice of most Physicians in the range of prescription-strength product lines, which heal, modify or completely transform skin for healthier more natural looking complexion.

Facial skin care is a main part of any skin care treatment. And Obagi skin care starts its system there, but has a multitude of products that can help change your skin at the cellular level look and feel healthier than ever before.

Two sides of the fence

There will always be two side of a fence in anything in life, and the same can be said about cosmetics and skin care, there are those on the side of all natural skin care recipes and those that believe there is nothing wrong with preservatives found in hydroderms.

There will always be those that want to argue for and against these supposedly miracle providing all natural recipe skin care products, there will be some saying that jargon used is merely a marketing ploy to convince you that one product provides you with something so much more then another, when in fact they don’t, and the only difference may be the price and therefore exclusivity of the product.

There is evidence that could support both sides of the arguments, as there always is but the choice in the end always remains in the hands of the consumer whether they prefer all natural skin care arbonne or the others.
