What about a combination... like a user fee, where someone who smokes will be required to pay 20% of the treatment cost....

gotta think that people would think twice before smoking if smoking related illnesses were not covered

My grand daughter has been diagnosed with central precocious puberty. Does anyone have any answers as to where I can purchase safe and effective growth hormones? The doctors won't assist any further because my insurance has denied payment on the growth hormones because they say it's not a medical necessity. I'm desparate to find out what the hormone is made from or where to purchase it.

Hi, does anyone know of any effective home treatments for internal piles that will actually shrink them down. I've used hydrocortisone creams in the past, but do not want to continue with these long term. I've tried Preparation H and Anusol, I'm looking something a little more effective. I'm too embarrassed to go to the doctors. TIA.

I have been told that I have mono according to bloodwork and have had it for at least 6 weeks but the only symptoms I have that are mono like are extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever. Could something else be disguising itself as mono? I have not been around anyone with mono so I am a little puzzled and am also not really getting better.

My dad found out that he has a 3 INCH TUMOR in the right side of his brain. This is devastating for our entire family, especially since we have 2 babies at home and a 14 year old daughter (me). Anyway, I've been googling it and haven't had much luck since we don't know what kind it is yet. Also everything is so confusing...

Can somebody just tell me whats going to happen? Is life ever going to be normal for us again? My dad is turning 45 next week. I know a 3 inch tumor is really big, but is it really fatal? You always see people on TV that have cancer but you never think it will happen to your family. BTW, we don't know if it is cancerous or not yet, since he is still being tested.
