Penalty could keep smokers out of health overhaul – Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of smokers could be priced out of health insurance because of tobacco penalties in President Barack Obama\’s health care law, according to experts who are just now teasing out the potential impact of a little-noted provision in the massive legislation.

The Affordable Care Act — \”Obamacare\” to its detractors — allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums starting next Jan. 1.

For a 55-year-old smoker, the penalty could reach nearly $4,250 a year. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of premiums.

CDC Influenza Update for Geriatricians and Other Clinicians Caring for People 65 and Older

 

2012-2013 Influenza Season, Impact on the Elderly, Summary Guidance

January 23, 2013

Background

It has been recognized for many years that people 65 years and older are at greater risk of serious complications from influenza compared with young, healthy adults. It\’s estimated that 90 percent of seasonal influenza-related deaths and more than 60 percent of seasonal influenza-related hospitalizations in the United States each year occur in people 65 years and older. Hospitalizations also are often sentinel events in this group of people, precipitating disability, and potentially resulting in loss of the ability to live independently. Preventing influenza and treating it promptly may reduce the risk of influenza-associated complications, including hospitalization and death.
