Buying Individual Health Insurance has been confusing and intimidating -- until now. Different plans vary wildly in their actual cost when people use different amounts of healthcare. Faced with increasing demand for its health insurance selection platform and Individual Benefit Counseling services, ContinuousHealth has responded by releasing its second generation "Your Choice" Plan Selector.
Now, for the first time ever, individuals can model their anticipated health care consumption and compare the performance of different individual health insurance plan designs across different insurance companies. "Our clients expect us to make choosing a health insurance plan simple and completely understandable.

For many years, airplane crash investigators have had the benefit of retrieving data from the flight-data recorder. This information has proven invaluable for helping to determine what happened in the critical time before a crash. In 1997, the National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) made the recommendation that vehicle manufacturers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration work together to gather information on vehicle crashes using onboard collision sensing and recording devices. As a result, General Motors expanded the data downloaded to permanent memory in the air bag sensing and diagnostic module at deployment or in a near deployment collision. Since 1973, when GM first introduced air bag-equipped cars, some crash data has been recorded. As explained in the owner's manuals of GM vehicles, the amount of recorded data has expanded with time and technology. The capability to record pre-crash data was included with some 1999 GM vehicles following the NTSB's recommendation. The Vetronix CDR System helps further the NTSB's recommendation by creating a product that downloads the data stored in recordable airbag modules.... (Continue reading)
