Cancer Screenings Save Lives 6 years, 2 months ago-

STD’s and STI’s: What’s going on down there? 6 years, 2 months agoChrissy posted about the fact that 50% of STI’s occur in the 15-24 year old age group (even though they make up only 25% of the sexually active population).

Health Insurance 6 years, 2 months agoI am wondering about health insurance policies available on the exchange this upcoming enrollment season. I have heard the options include policies with lower deductibles and lower copays than in previous years. Is there truth to this?
