Sep.23, 2009 in UncategorizedHave you ever noticed things about your body that are annoying, weird, smelly, or downright embarrassing? If so, you’re not alone. We all experience the often unsightly and sometimes unseemly signs and signals our bodies send us about our state of health. Ugly growths may pop up on our eyelids, or skin tags under our breasts.

Most people know that I’m a huge fan of the television show House . I also know quite a few folks who would like to run “medical drama’-style roleplaying games, but run up against one major obstacle: lack of medical knowledge. Programs like House have consultants on staff to make sure that the information is accurate, but as a gamemaster or player you don’t have that sort of budget. I’m here to tell you that for a roleplaying game, the accuracy of the jargon doesn’t matter. As a viewer, I have Karl Vick of the Washington Post reports on the pernicious practice of insurance-policy “recission”–when insurers decide to cancel a policy on the grounds that they’ve been misled:“They said I never mentioned I had a back problem,” said Marrari, 52, whose coverage with Blue Cross was abruptly canceled in 2006 after a thyroid disorder, fluid in the heart and lupus were diagnosed. That left the Los Angeles woman with $25,000 in medical bills and the stigma of the company’s claim that she had commiAn evening of heavy drinking with conservative friends is always amusing.

. WASHINGTON / The Washington Post / September 8, 2009 By Karl Vick, Washington Post Staff Writer LOS ANGELES -- The untimely disappearance of Sally Marrari's medical coverage goes a long way toward explaining why insurance companies are cast as the villain in the health-care reform drama. "They said I never mentioned I had a back problem," said Marrari, 52, whose coverage with Blue Cross was abruptly canceled in 2006 after a thyroid disorder, fluid in the heart and lupus were diagnosed. If you’re not familiar with the word rescission, this is the practice of canceling policies because people didn’t reveal a preexisting condition. And it’s one of the key reasons why the health insurance companies can claim that there’s $100 billion in health care fraud every year. Here’s one example of what they consider fraud… “They said I never mentioned I had a back problem,” said Marrari, 52, whose coverage with Blue Cross was abruptly canceled in 2006 after a thyroid disorder,
