Usually people, who don’t have good private health insurance, can’t afford the high price of private drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs. It’s a fact that this type of facilities provides you the best possible care.
But most of the people lack comprehensive insurance coverage and they cannot afford the admission fee of even more than $20,000 for a month of rehab. They are not quite certain what their options are otherwise.
Aside from free and low cost rehabs, and state subsidized care, you have another option (though it’s often overlooked) and this option is to admit in some sober living housing.
Rheumatoid Arthritis may increase gum disease risk, a US study says
According to a U.S study, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can increase the risk of gum disease.
A link between RA and periodontal disease has already been suggested by a previous study.
In the current study, the researchers examined 153 patients (ages 45 to 84) who had RA for an average of 11 year. Among them almost 82% patients reported periodontal symptoms like gum bleeding, swollen gum, gum recession etc.
The researchers found after further analysis that periodontal disease was particularly linked with a patient’s RA disease activity score and rheumatoid nodules.
Dr. Clifton O. Bingham, who led the study, says that: “Our findings show a high prevalence of moderate to severe periodontal disease in RA patients and strongly suggest a link between these two inflammatory diseases. To explain this link further and better understand the pathobiologic mechanisms, we will conduct a number of additional studies soon.”
Life expectafncy diference between poor and rich countries can be more than 40 years, a WHO report says
A WHO report shows that life expectancy difference between the worlds’s poorest and richest countries can be more than 40 years.
The World Health Organization found huge inefficiencies and inequalities when it examined primary health care systems around the world.
The report urges for action to tackle unfairness and reinforce primary care.
WHO director-general, Margaret Chan says: “we have to take proper action and it is needed to focus on primary care to affect significant change.”
