Differing Opinions On Health Care Reform

August 24, 2009 By Louise Norris

Health Insurance Premiums For Men And Women

November 3, 2008 By Louise Norris

The issue of women paying more than men for health insurance has been in the news quite a bit in recent days.

Health Insurance Covering Infertility Treatment

February 13, 2008 By Louise Norris

I wrote an article yesterday about how hard it is to get individual health insurance after you’ve had fertility treatments. We got a comment on the post that mentioned how ironic the whole thing is, considering health insurance almost never pays for the actual fertility treatment, even if you have coverage while you’re going through… Read more about Health Insurance Covering Infertility Treatment
