According to a medical study, the risk of Indians contracting coronary heart disease is around 3 to 4 times higher than that of Americans.

With the lack of social bonding and the lopsided work-life balance accentuating anxiety level among urban Indians in the confinement period and triggering heart disease risks, the number of cardiovascular ailment cases is expected to increase exponentially amid the pandemic.

In fact, the COVID-19 led restrictions have heightened stress and hypertension among urban people in the absence of social bonding and networking and underscored heart complications in the past few months.

The health research findings of the increasing risks of heart disease during the pandemic are relevant for all of us.

BOCA RATON, FL, Sept. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When international health and wellness brands want to export their products to the United States, they turn to Mitch Gould and Nutritional Products Internationa l.

Blue Cross NC said it is funding cards from the monies received from the federal government following litigation related to the Affordable Care Act temporary risk corridor program.

In April, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government is required to follow-through on the promise of the ACA risk corridor program that covered years 2014 through 2016.

While not intended to protect insurers from all losses in the ACA marketplace, the risk corridor program provided an appropriate and necessary backstop on losses for insurers that were willing to serve people in the new marketplace.

In addition to the health and wellness retail cards, Blue Cross NC applied the remaining risk corridor funds to help keep 2021 rates for many of its customers lower.
