Swine Flu and Health Insurance
Just when many Americans are concerned about their health insurance because of high unemployment and the loss of group medical plans, we have another concern. Now we are worried about an epidemic, or possible pandemic, of swine flu breaking out. However, in the US, we do have resources to deal with this disease, and with prompt attention, the vast majority of afflicted people seem to get better.
Look for Individual Health Insurance
An individual health insurance policy can provide security in case of a medical emergency. The easiest way to find an affordable plan is to use an online health insurance quote form. You can enter your information one time, and then find available private medical plans in your area. Health insurers have many different plans, for different budgets, and you may want to consider getting basic coverage right now.
Do Seek Treatment If You Think You Have Swine Flu
At first glance, the symptoms for swine flue may seem similar to any other seasonal bug. Here are the reported symptoms.
- Fever
- Cough and Sore Throat
- Body Aches and Headache
- Chills and Fatigue
- Some people also report vomiting and diarrhea.
Call a Doctor or an Urgent Care Center If You Think You Have Swine Flu
Even if you lack health insurance, be sure and visit a health care provider if you think you are infected. This is particularly important for the very young, very old, and people with other chronic conditions. Even though many people have recovered on their own, as people do with any other flu, there have also been cases of pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death.
If you have a regular doctor, call them for instructions if you think you have Sine Flu (or care for somebody who may have it). They may not want you to report to a crowded waiting room, but will be able to tell you the best course of action.
If the situation does not seem dire, some experts advise visiting an urgent care center, such as those found in malls or attached to pharmacies or grocery stores. They say that regular hospital ER rooms may be very crowded, and that urgent care clinics will be sufficient and able to attend to sick people faster. Urgent care clinics also cost much less than hospital emergency rooms and that will be a major concern for people without health insurance.
Of course, in cases where the sick person is in distress, emergency treatment should be sought. Hospitals cannot turn away critical cases, regardless of the health insurance situation.
Treatment of Swine Flu
A medical professional can evaluate each case to determine the best course of action. Antiviral medications do exist to help sufferers recover more quickly. But right now, there is no preventative vaccine.
Again, do seek treatment if you believe you, or somebody you care for, has Swine Flu. Some experts believe that the reason that the US has had less death than Mexico is because we have a higher availability of treatment.
