InsuranceAgents.com Publishes Tips to Avoid Swine Flu (H1N1) and Find Affordable Health Insurance Quotes

    CHICAGO, IL, November 22, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The H1N1 virus, otherwise known as swine flu, has been labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization, spreading across the globe, and only getting stronger.

"Nobody likes having to file a health insurance claim. Co-pays and deductibles along with the possibility of a claim being denied add up to a headache for everyone. However, it could be worse. Needing medical attention without a health insurance policy or healthcare coverage of some kind could be financially devastating," according to InsuranceAgents.com.

The article recommends individuals to take precautions to avoid the Swine flu, including:

• A person should stay home from work and/or school if they are feeling ill
• They should a void contact with anyone they suspect as being ill
• Using a tissue and/or covering one's mouth and nose when they sneeze
• Regularly washing one's hands
• A person should maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of fluids, and take vitamins to boost immunity

By avoiding the Swine flu, or any illnesses, a person may be eligible for lower health insurance premiums, as they will be considered less of an insurance risk.

Unfortunately, those without health insurance are statistically more likely to contract the H1N1 virus than health insurance policyholders. Why? Because the uninsured are more likely to have weaker immune systems as a result of infrequent doctor visits. But by taking an active role in keeping oneself healthy and out of health-harming ways, a person can find affordable health insurance. Making a solid effort to avoid Swine flu is definitely one way to do it.
