Covered California Can’t See Your Tax Return
While it may seem like Covered California is big brother looking over your shoulder or studying your tax return in a darken closet with the flash light, they aren’t. They are able to let their computer software check discreet pieces of data that relate to your eligibility for health insurance and any premium tax credit.

Shingle’s Rash, Back Pain, And Skin Sensitivity

I was over 50, had chicken pox as a child, and had not had the Zostavax vaccine to prevent Shingles.
Proposed Rule Expanding Less Expensive Short Term Health Insurance Plans
