The Nevada Division of Insurance is addressing the health care insurance "scam wave" that has been ever-increasing, by promoting their consumer education awareness through a comprehensive advertising   more...campaign launched statewide this month, which includes television spots and website banners.

Between 2001 and 2003 the United States and Nevada experienced a health insurance "scam wave." Consumer education was increased and the number of reported health insurance fraud cases declined. Campaigns in 2004 and 2005 addressed this issue; however, these types of cases are on the rise, once again.

Due to the ever-increasing health care costs, it has become more evident that a new wave of health-care and health insurance scams are occurring, specifically targeting individual consumers and small business owners throughout Nevada and nationwide. The new advertising campaign launched today is titled, "Phone," and simulates serious conversations between everyday people/consumers speaking to their family members on the other end of the line, expressing great concern over the news of discovering their loved-one's health care insurance did NOT cover expenses or medical procedures that were previously guaranteed by their "agent". The second half of these :30 spots represents a call from the health care "agent" expressing no remorse over the fact they mislead their customers, putting them at risk for incurring serious medical bills, and in one spot, the fraudulent health care representative is seen driving off into the sunset and "skipping town."

Following last year's devastating pet food recall, pet owners are more careful than ever to choose foods made with healthy ingredients. A high quality natural pet food is a great place to start, but that's   more...no longer enough. Experts agree that variety is an important - and often overlooked - component in pet nutrition. "Just like humans, pets require a variety of foods in order to obtain the optimal level of nutrition from their diet," said Dr. Susan Lauten, a leading clinical instructor of veterinary medicine. Experts like Dr. Lauten agree that the ideal diet for dogs and cats includes rotation between proteins (e.g. beef, chicken, salmon) and forms (dry kibble, canned, and raw frozen pet food).

New program certifies natural skin and hair care products

As the demand for "natural" personal care products - such as lotions, balms and shampoos - continues to soar, manufacturers are responding   more...with a host of new products. Some are natural, some aren't. But how is a shopper to know? Until now, consumers had no idea what was truly natural since there was no standard definition of the term used by industry.

That is no longer the case. To end this confusion and help consumers, the Natural Products Association announced today a new certification program which defines natural and includes an easily-identified seal. Shoppers can expect the seal to begin appearing on certifier personal care products in the coming months.

Most consumers do not know the biggest warning signs indicating a vehicle may have been in a major accident, according to a poll conducted by CarMax, Inc., the nation’s largest retailer of used cars.

Most   more...respondents (72%) said that repainting the car is the strongest indicator of vehicle damage, followed by clamp marks (18%), bumps and dents (8%) and scratches (2%). However, according to CarMax’s knowledgeable car-buying professionals, clamp marks on a vehicle’s frame are the biggest sign that the car may have been involved in a serious collision.

Consumers should remember the following tips when looking to buy pre-owned vehicles:
·Look for clamp marks on the frame rail under the car. Clamp marks look like holes or gashes on the frame of the vehicle. Clamp marks suggest the vehicle may have been in a serious accident.
·Look for signs of repainting on the car, such as inconsistency in the paintwork. Run your finger along the inside of the door edge; a rough finish can be caused by overspray during repainting.
·Listen for any engine noise when you test drive the vehicle. A major accident can cause damage to any part of the engine. Ask questions about any noise that sounds unusual.
·Check to see if all the doors, the hood, and trunk lid close properly.
·Check to see if the odometer changes miles as the vehicle is driven.

A coalition of public interest groups today called for the federal government to end 30 years of "deliberations and fact finding" by issuing a useful final regulation to require standardized   more...labeling information on beer, wine and distilled spirits products.

At a news conference in Washington, members of a broad-based coalition of public health leaders and consumer advocacy organizations used the occasion of Alcohol Awareness Month to release a white paper laying out the need for an easy-to-read, standardized label that will provide consumers with complete information about alcohol and calorie content per serving. Issued as a nationwide call to action, the white paper concludes that easily accessible alcohol labeling can play an important role in reducing alcohol abuse, drunk driving, and the many diseases attributable to excessive alcohol intake, such as liver cirrhosis and cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Smart Time to Buy Sentiment Trending Upwards

Even in the face of skepticism over the nation's economy, more consumers are seeing opportunity in today's housing market, according to a new survey commissioned   more...by Beazer Homes, USA, Inc, (NYSE: BZH), one of the country's top-10 homebuilders. Recognizing that the current market favors buyers, 77 percent of respondents said that with good credit and a down payment, the time is right to buy a home, a 20 percent upswing from a similar January survey.

"It's reassuring to see an up tick in consumer sentiment toward home ownership as spring arrives," said Ian McCarthy, president and CEO of Beazer Homes. "Consumers recognize a good deal when they see it and they are increasingly more aware that you can get a lot more home in today's market."

The Cottonelle Brand Launches Its Mobile Comfort Haven - Encouraging Consumers Across North America to Be Kind To Your Behind

Ever think about comforting your … ahem … posterior? According to a recent   more...survey by the Cottonelle brand, nearly half (47%) of Americans never do. A majority (81%) of Americans freely admit that they deserve a little comfort everyday. But when it comes to pampering, a certain body part routinely falls to the bottom of the list: 94 percent dish out kindness everywhere but their behinds. This is unfortunate because the gluteus maximus is one of the most important muscles in the body.

That's why the Cottonelle brand has teamed up with fitness expert Ary Nunez to help Americans tackle their greatest gripes related to the derriere.  less
