The Journal of the American Medical Association released details about the relationship of persons with financial concerns or lack of heath insurance and the time lapse between the onset of a heart attack and accessing treatment..

Many persons are waiting to see what happens with health care reform but that is a mistake. There are many affordable health plans available and it is easy to find them on online health insurance sites.
