AO4 There are a number of different strategies to help prevent breast cancer from occurring. One way that can prevent breast cancer from occurring is by living a more healthy lifestyle. In the UK it is estimated that being overweight and being obese causes around 17,000 cases of cancer each year. I feel like this is the most simplest way to prevent breast cancer and it’s easier as people can replace the unhealthy food they eat with more healthier food. Even though it’s an easier way it is more expensive which unfortunately would make it more difficult for people who are in poverty to make this change.

There has been another increase in improved medical practice as recently, bypass surgery and other similar developments have reduced heart disease and its related deaths by one third. Public health measures and environmental improvements are more reasons for the falling death rate since 1900. There have been improvements in housing (including better ventilation, and less overcrowded houses), improved sewage disposal methods which helped increase the level of hygiene in areas and purer drinking water which raised the health of citizens. Also, the Clean Air Acts reduced pollution which impacted on the number of deaths. Other social changes which are more reasons for the decline
WIC serves pregnant women and children under five years old- the ages at which nutricional sufficiency is most critical for brain development and long-term good health. At last count, almost half the nation’s infants were on WIC which serves people up to 185% of the poverty level. If this program were to be cut, it would affect the poor that already run low on resources and nutritional direction. A number of studies have shown that WIC is associated with better birth outcomes for at-risk populations. WIC has also repeatedly shown to return well- every dollar spent on WIC reduces health care and other costs between 1.77 and 3.50.
It is important to keep a balance of the important things in one’s life otherwise, weaknesses can be developed that shadows over a person’s natural strength to prioritize. A balance of the important things in one’s life is what allows personal success to be achieved. Successfulness is the ability to seize new opportunities and explore new paths in life. Balance is the key to success because when there is balance in one’s life there is a cut back of stress, which makes room for the ability to thrive; and a person’s ability to thrive is what carries them to their personal success. To be successful is to understand what is important to you, to recognize your weaknesses without hiding behind them, to strive for balance as well as open new doors in life.
The higher premiums have to be considered first because it affects the customer pool.

When a group is considering on increasing benefits will also decrease profit margin.

Feuerman’s new plan of the Caster Enhanced Minor plan, the probability of illness can be eliminated by taking away the high cost of health care
Lastly, the amount of personal bankruptcies will be reduced. Many Americans file for bankruptcy because of their medical bills, if the rates go down and more people can afford coverage then it would make sense that the amount of bankruptcies would also go down. Even though the pros all help and seem great the cons to this policy also holds valid points. First, “18 million of the uninsured will be forced to go under Medicaid, while the rest will have to accept another government program. Even so, millions will remain uninsured,” (Pros and cons of Obama care June 29, 2012).
E., & Moore, J. (2007), a large number of studies in many markets over many years have consistently shown that medical care managed and financed through an HMO costs 10 to 20 percent less than under indemnity insurance. Most of the savings are due to two factors; the ability to obtain lower prices by contracting for large volumes of hospital, physician, laboratory, and pharmacy services, and a substantial reduction in the number of hospital days per 1,000 enrollees. The reduction in hospital days is somewhat offset by a greater use of ambulatory physician services and outpatient surgery among HMOs, but because these substitutes are less expensive than inpatient services, overall dollar savings are realized even when the quantity of services used stays the same or increases. Although managed care has been shown to reduce costs, it is probably not the answer to all of America’s health care problems.
