A change is coming to some people’s life and health insurance policies that will make them more expensive. Prudential recently announced it will consider e-cigarette users the same as traditional smokers. Smokers pay on average about 50% more per year for life insurance. Depending on the policy, that’s between 0 and 0 more.Some other companies were already charging vapers more. The president of Consumer Watchdog, Jamie Court, says he doesn’t necessarily disagree with the practice. “Well you know I’m no fan of the insurance industry but I think they're probably right in this circumstance and you know vaping is a relatively unknown quantity we don’t have any longitudinal studies to show what happens in 10-20-30-40 years to the lungs of people who vape,” said Court. “But there has been some evidence that people have significant scarring.”Court says it’s a little more of a gray area when it comes to health insurance. Right now, plans under the Affordable Care Act don’t charge e-cigarette and tobacco users the same. Some states don’t allow smokers to be charged more. At the same time, the Insurance Information Institute reports some companies have vaping in the non-smoking category because there isn’t enough data yet on the health effects. But with recent injuries and deaths from vaping, some companies now consider it a higher risk factor. 1375

Researchers are trying to find out as much as they can about great white sharks.After a couple of attacks involving people last year, there are new efforts to learn more about these animals. It’s moments like the incident at Nauset Beach South that shark experts are studying more closely. Video taken of the beach shows white sharks feeding on seals close to the shore. Now, researchers are launching new studies, including one looking at the feeding habits and behaviors of these sharks. “We're essentially going to be giving iPhones to white sharks to track their activity in three dimensions at a really fine scale,” explains Megan Winton, a research scientist with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. Winton and other researchers will be tagging sharks with devices similar to what's in smartphones. “We'll be able to identify how often they're feeding on seals. We'll be able to look for relationships with feeding activity and environmental conditions,” Winton says. The data would be given to officials to use to provide better warnings on beaches. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy is currently pouring over data on a population study they just finished. “Based on the video footage, we were able to identify every shark we saw to an individual level,” Winton says. So far, the researchers have identified more than 300 white sharks. Winton calls it a conservation success story, thanks to protections put in place over the last few decades. “So one thing I like to remind people is that these are large, amazing animals and they're very capable predators and they're certainly deserving of our respect,” Winton says. “But they're not monsters out there, lurking our coastline menacing our beaches. They're big fish out there eating their natural prey item.” White sharks are the only natural predator to seals in the Cape Cod area, which some residents and fisherman see as a nuisance.Researchers want to see how many seals the sharks are eating and if they can impact the seal population. 2023

A dangerous and potentially deadly heatwave threatens much of the continental US, with dozens of record high temperatures both in the daytime and in the evening expected this weekend.More than 150 million people in nearly 30 states were under a heat watch, warning or advisory on Thursday morning, according to CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen.Over the next few days, more than 85 percent of the lower 48's population will see temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, Hennen said, and more than half will see temperatures in excess of 95 degrees.Much of the heat expected for Thursday was forecast to descend on the Midwest and Mississippi, before making its way to the Northeast on Friday and Saturday, Hennen said. 726

Starting January 1, the prices hospitals charge for service will now have to be listed. Just like you see at a restaurant or salon, hospitals will offer up their own menu of services, with the prices of the procedures right next to them. "Transparency helps everybody,” says Kevin Flynn, with Health Advocates. “It eliminates fraud. It eliminates waste." Flynn says although it seems great, the hospital prices can be deceiving. "But for you and me, the person on the street, it doesn't mean a whole lot, Flynn explains. "While the hospital charges a certain price, ultimately it's your insurance company that's setting everything." Flynn says to keep in mind the prices listed don't include you using insurance, co-pays or deductibles. Companies such as Healthcare Bluebook and Fair Price show patients the average in network price of procedures. They compile patients claims data from all over. "What the hospital charges is one thing,” Flynn says. “What the insurance company actually pays is completely different.” So, the next time you need to get a procedure , Flynn recommends calling your insurance company. "It's much better to talk to your insurance company before you go and know approximately what you are going to pay, as opposed to just looking up online of this new thing seeing what the hospital charges," Flynn says. 1355
