For more info visit www.newsinfusion.com Nearly 4,000 women in America will die this year from cervical cancer. These cancers are, largely, preventable, and raising public awareness can save lives. It's why the U.S. Congress has designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. Cervical cancer is the only cancer known to be primarily caused by a common virus, the Humanpapillomavirus (HPV). In the United States, 11,000 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed in 2010 from HPV caused tumors. HPVs are sexually transmitted via skin-to-skin contact. Recent research indicates the virus also cause some cases of cancers of the mouth, anus, head and neck in men and women. Cervical cancer often is stigmatized as a disease acquired as a result of promiscuous behavior. While risks of acquiring a high-risk HPV increase with the number of one's sexual partners, persons in longtime monogamous relationships can be infected from a lone sexual encounter that occurred years, even decades, earlier.

But, after months of committee hearings, backdoor meetings and debate, debate, debate, the long-awaited Senate vote is fast approaching and as poll numbers show, many of us are still asking, âwill health reform end up costing us more?" In fact, according to a Washington Post poll out last Wednesday, few Americans actually believe that government action is needed to control health-care costs and expand coverage to those without insurance. More than half of those polled, 53 percent, see higher costs for themselves as a result of health reform measures, than if the current system remains intact. And they are right. The Senate bill contains many provisions that could indeed cause sticker shock for most of us.

Planning for Long Term Care Requires Family Conversations
For more info visit www.newsinfusion.com The cost of long term care can severely impact your familyâs future financial security. Requiring care in any setting is not a topic many of us want to talk about, for obvious reasons.

For example, according to recent data from Genworth Financial the national average cost for one year of home care is more than $42,000. Dr. Ken Dychtwald, a psychologist, gerontologist and author of 16 books including With Purpose, Going From Success to Significance in Work and Life says todayâs Rubikâs Cube-like families come in all shapes and sizes and have diverse sets of complicated dynamics but one commonality is the need to include long term care planning as a part of their overall goals for financial independence and security.
