Delaware's Cancer Mortality Rate Decreases
secretary Rita Landgraf of Delaware's Department of Health and Social Services today released the report "Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Delaware 2002-2006." According to the report, the state's overall cancer incidence and mortality rates decreased from 1992-1996 to 2002-2006 in many ways. For example, Delaware's cancer incidence rate decreased 3.8 percent compared to 5.1 percent for the U.S. Also, Delaware's 2002-2006 cancer incidence rate of 507 per 100,000 was 9.5 percent higher than the U.S. rate of 462.9. Delaware's cancer mortality rate also decreased 18.9 percent, compared to 11.5 percent nationally. Finally, Delaware's cancer mortality rate of 194.3 per 100,000 was 4 percent higher than the national rate of 186.9. "Delaware's cancer mortality rate is down at least in part because of more cancer screenings and better lifestyle choices," Secretary Landgraf said. "To support Governor Markell's priorities of promoting healthy lifestyles, the Division of Public Health will work with partners to continue expanding programs to prevent tobacco use, promote physical activity, proper nutrition, appropriate screening and access to quality treatment."

The type of health insurance policy you select is possibly the most important choice you will make for you and your family. Having good health insurance is a vital necessity. More bankruptcies are caused by medical bills than any other financial catastrophe. The most common way people used to get health insurance is through their employers. With more and more employers cutting costs by eliminating benefits individuals are looking for private insurance to cover the loss. Because they are now on their own and faced with many choices they feel confused. Employers often chose the most affordable types of policies available which these days mean HMOs. Some individuals are excited to consider the possibilities of better, more extensive coverage with more freedom, and some would prefer to have others make the choices for them.
Another reason individuals begin to look for private health insurance that is affordable is to cover themselves and their family when they are self-employed, or when they are between jobs. Whatever the reason for needing health insurance coverage you need to know how to effectively look for it.
The first thing you need to do is decide on how much coverage you require, and what you can afford. If you are single, and in reasonably good health you might want to consider a health savings plan (known at most companies as an HSA). If you have pre-existing conditions you need to know your current problems will be covered immediately so you do not miss out on important care. Finally if you have a family you need to ensure that the younger members always have the proper well-care treatments and insurance against emergencies and illnesses that are bound to crop up from time to time.
