Chef Jose Enrique, born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, graduated in 1998 from the Culinary Institute of America in New York.
Jose Enrique worked in New York, Florida and Louisiana before he returned to his homeland. In 2007, he opens his first restaurant Jose Enrique, which was established at La Placita de Santurce and It's personalized menu is prepared daily, incorporating natural and organic products focusing on fresh Puerto Rican produce, which allows the climate and ingredients to direct Chef menu choices.
One year after opening, CondeNast Traveler magazine included Jose Enrique in it's list of 105 best new restaurants. Soon after, the Travel and Leisure magazine ranked San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, among the first in food selection, beverages and restaurants. These awards were just a few inspiring reasons for Jose Enrique to proudly continue mastering his culinary creations in his island. He hasn't strayed since.
Jose Enrique was chosen as a Semifinalist for the 2013 James Beard Foundation award in the category of "Best Chef South", marking the first time in history a Puerto Rican chef has participated in this award.
In 2013 Jose Enrique was featured in the 25th Anniversary edition of the Food & Wines Best New Chefs. His award carried him as one of the ten "Best New Chefs" across US. It was the first time in history where a Puerto Rican had received this honor.
In 2011 Jose opened his second restaurant, "Capital", a Brasserie with accents of creole cuisine.
His latest venture, "Miel", is designed to provide premium Puerto Rican coffee along with Puerto Rican honey, quick breakfast, or a light lunch.
Next opens El Blok at Vieques Puerto Rico, a Golden Leed certified boutique hotel in which Jose Enrique will have a sixty seat dinning room featuring a forty-seat bar which will offer a full menu.

What I Think: Awesome
book. I have read this
series twice now, and This
was my faovorite book of
the series. I would
recomend reading this to younger siblings if they are
the kind of kids who are
always interested in what
you are interested in.
Summary: Percy Jackson is

find Deadelus and convince him to help her to help to
save the camp. If you are
going to read this book,
read the other ones in the
series first. Also, there was
alot of killing... (Expand)
Amazing book. The author keeps you attached till the last page. When got hold of the book I didn't want to leave it. it's so awesome!!!! This book had it's own surprises. With Luke becoming Kronos in the end and the inventions of the genius Daedalus. I was awestruck. One thing I don't like about these books is the chapter names. The names are pretty weird and even you would agree with me. RR has done perfect job of blending myth with modernity. Even calypso's story was nice. The best part for me was definitely Luke becoming Kronos. That was well narrated as well.

I'm not sure if I should call this week a success as far as the meal plan went. I ended up only making one of the meals I had actually planned to so in that regard, I guess I failed pretty miserably. We did eat at home every night, though so in that sense I suppose it was a resounding success!
Things started out a bit shaky as I decided to switch the Sunday and Monday meals. The Sunday meal was supposed to have been lasagna but when I went to make the lasagna on Monday, I realized that the box of lasagna noodles in my pantry had already been opened and I only had 3 noodles left! Meal planning lesson number one: don't assume that you have an ingredient just because you have packaging for said ingredient! Since I had already started the meat and sauce portion of the lasagna, I turned it into spaghetti and the meal was decent.
Tuesday night we went for our regular potluck and my husband made roasted potatoes which were quite yummy. On Wednesday I came down with a horrible cold that I'm still fighting- but thankfully seems to be on its way out. ugh. I pulled a $5 No Frills lasagna out of the freezer along with some frozen garlic bread and called it a meal. On Thursday night I made the cheesy pork chops that I had planned to make on Friday night. They were quite good! On Friday night I was still sick and I had used up my Friday planned meal for Thursday's supper so.. hubby had leftovers that night while I threw some chicken nuggets and fries that I had in the freezer into the oven, ate and went back to bed. blech. Still horribly sick on Saturday, hubby was kind enough to let me stay in bed most of the day and deep fried some fries up. He made them into chili cheese fries and they were very yummy. Baby boy liked them too…
Then Sunday happened. I was finally feeling better albeit a little sniffly. I may have been feeling a bit sorry for myself because husband had been away both Saturday and Sunday nights with friends/family leaving me home alone with our baby who is fun but goes to bed early… I decided to treat myself to a Hot and Ready pizza from Little Caesars. Had I just gone there and bought the $5 pizza it wouldn't be so bad but of course, when I got there I suddenly needed the more expensive meat lovers hot and ready pizza and an order of their Italian Cheese Bread or whatever it was called.. $15 later I was sharing a slice with my baby boy who happens to love pizza as much as I do!!
So, 11 days into March, I gave in and bought a pizza. boo. This weeks another week though and if I can go another 11 days without eating out I'll still be doing much better than I usually do. Without further ado, here's what I've got planned for this week:
Monday – Mexican Carnitas in the Slow Cooker
Tuesday- Potluck with friends. Who knows what yummy stuff we'll be enjoying this week?
Wednesday- Lasagna (assuming I remember to pick up lasagna noodles…)
Thursday- Taco Pasta
Friday- Three Cheese Spaghetti Bake
Saturday- Pizza (homemade this time.. I hope.)
Hopefully I do a bit better than I did this past week. Honestly though, I am doing better than other months. It is not uncommon for me to swing by McDonald's and grab a quick burger on my way home from work so in that regard, even though I slipped up, I've been doing really well which was my goal.
So far we've spent $303.25 on food products this month (including an $11 beer that my husband enjoyed at the Raptors game tonight and about $50 of ground beef that I stocked up on at $2.49/lb). We should only have to buy perishables for the rest of the month though (and lasagna noodles) and won't even need those for another week or so. I should mention too that my husband's brother is living with us currently and even though he has generally been having meals elsewhere, he has been eating breakfasts, snacks, beverages and a few dinners here which will invariably push up our food budget a bit.

MAYAN CALENDAR predicts end 2011.. NOT 2012? In search of ...a correct date
- Harlekin
- uploaded: Nov 30, 2011
- Hits: 830
Most people are aware of the Mayan Calendar and it's "end" preditive date of December 21st, 2012..BUT why then was the date originally predicted said to be DECEMBER 24th 2011? Interesting footage from the documentaries "In Search of Ancient Astronauts" (1973) and "In Search Of.." (the 70's television series) both mention the 2011 date rather than the 2012 one.. so what's up with THAT? You be the judge!

Comments about Alice in Wonderland Sassy Mad Hatter Adult Womens Costume:
I got this for a work Halloween party, because it didn't look too "sexy" and I liked that it was based on the Disney animated movie. The Lewis Carroll quotes around the skirt were a plus. When I got the costume, it was far too short, barely covering my butt. I'm 5'7" but slender, so a medium would have been long enough (probably) but baggy all over. Also, the buttons on the bodice and stockings immediately started falling off, and the green foil on the bodice had a run in it. The skirt wasn't sewn on properly. To make the costume wearable I bought a different petticoat at another costume store. Additionally, I made a full size hat, because the Mad Hatter should not wear a tiny little cocktail hat. The costume will work but I feel like I wasted my money, especially since it started falling apart the minute I unpacked it.
Comments about Alice in Wonderland Sassy Mad Hatter Adult Womens Costume:
My daughter is a size 3 to 5, 5 is usually big, so we ordered accordingly and when the costume came it was small. And with the styles know a days that's saying a lot!

The city of Raleigh's attorney said Wednesday the city has a valid lease with the state of North Carolina to use the Dorothea Dix property and create a park, a deal that was signed by former Gov. Beverly Perdue before the current administration took office.
'It's our position that we have a valid lease," Thomas McCormick told WNCN Wednesday.
The North Carolina Senate wants to change that deal. The Senate on Tuesday approved Senate Bill 334 by a 29-21 vote. That bill directs the state and the city to enter into a new lease on a portion of the Dorothea Dix campus "at a fair market value" for use as a public park.
In December, the Council of State, under Gov. Bev Perdue, signed a contract to lease the Dorothea Dix property to Raleigh for $500,000 per year for 75 years with a 24-year renewal option after thousands of supporters across the state urged officials to turn the campus into a park.
However, Republican lawmakers have raised questions about the deal and believe the state didn't get fair market value for the property. The Senate bill is "an act to condemn the leasehold interest in the Dorothea Dix campus property conveyed to the city of Raleigh."
Under a new agreement, the city would be able to lease around 200 acres of the Dix property's 325 acres of land for use as a destination park. Also under the new agreement, "all revenues from leases of the Dorothea Dix Property [will] be held in a special fund for appropriation by the General Assembly for mental health purposes."
The portion of the Dix property that the city does not lease can be used by the Department of Health and Human Services to house the consolidation of 2,500 DHHS employees working in Wake County.
McCormick, asked if he was surprised the legislature moved to void the lease, said he didn't want to comment at length on the matter. But he did say that if the terms are changed, "We expect just compensation."
Section 10 of the lease addresses "Condemnation." In that section, the lease spells out terms in case "the fee in the Leased Premises is taken by virtue of eminent domain."
The Senate bill does speak directly to any compensation for the city. In Section 3 (a), the bill states, "If the City of Raleigh contends that it is owed just compensation, it shall, within 60 days of the effective date of this act, file a special proceeding in the Superior Court for a determination whether just compensation is required and if so the amount of just compensation."
The bill requires that a special three-judge panel would decide any compensation to Raleigh.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A decades-old rivalry went a little too far on the baseball diamond Thursday.
The game between Central Catholic and Jesuit High Schools had to be stopped in the 5th inning after a scuffle. And it was all caught on camera.
KGW news partner The Oregonian was at Jesuit, shooting video of the game when a Central Catholic player slid into home plate. He collided with a Jesuit catcher.
There was some shoving from both sides and then both benches cleared to join in the fight.
According to the high-school rule, if a player leaves the dugout or his position during a fight, he's ejected from the game and must sit out the following game.
Since nearly everyone on both teams left the dugout, the umpire had to cancel the game. Neither team received a win or loss.
The video was being circulated Friday and several of the students said it's just part of a fun rivalry.
The Oregon School Activities Association said normally, there are about 300 ejections a year in high-school sports in the state. There is a $50 fine to the school for each player ejected. It's more for coaches.
The OSAA is reviewing the Oregonian video and the version Jesuit broadcasts online to determine what actions will be taken in this case.
Peter Weber is the OSAA Assistant Executive Director in charge of baseball programs. He said, in his five years with the association, he can't ever remember a game being cancelled halfway through.
But this isn't the first notable incident this season. In November, Lakeridge High School's football team was punished with a 4-year probation period and $2,500 in fines for unsportsmanlike conduct.
And in October, a football player wit hthe Oregon School for the Deaf was placed on probation for the rest of his high-school career after making physical contact with an official after the game.
"We just want to make sure we're reminding people and working with people that we are educational based activities," said Weber. "We need to make sure we're educating these kids about what's proper and what's not, and if they're not doing what's right, we need to hold people accountable."
Coaches and athletic directors from Jesuit and Central Catholic did not return calls and emails for comment.
Weber says the schools don't have to forfeit their next games, but depending on the disciplinary action, they might have to use all alternate players.

City OKs $40 million budget for 2007
The city of Blaine is set to receive one police officer, a new fire marshal, and a new police vehicle, as well as improvements to city hall, the Blaine public library and community center, in 2007.
During a special meeting of the city council December 18, council members voted 7-0 to pass an approximately $40 million budget for the 2007 year. The total budget represents a 2.6 percent decrease from last year's budget of $41.4 million.
Blaine city finance director Meredith Riley said the decrease is a result of the completion of the construction of the boardwalk along Peace Portal Drive and the near completion of improvements on Marine Drive.
She added that unanticipated expenditures relating to the Blaine municipal airport had reduced the general fund reserve to approximately $100,000 – far below the recommended minimum balance of $600,000. Riley said the total amount of money loaned to the airport fund from the city's general fund to date is $450,000.
In a December 11 meeting, council members had previously requested the finance department reduce general fund expenditures by $100,000 with that money being transferred to the general fund reserve as the airport loans have depleted that reserve.
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic said some of the areas in which the council had previously suggested for funding cuts such as the senior center or improvements to city hall "really won't work."
Tomsic said, for example, the $300,000 the city has set aside in funds for city hall improvements is not eligible for cuts because it is funded through the city's real estate excise tax funds rather than general fund revenues.
"There were some issues where some of the larger chunks of money were for capital improvement projects weren't funded through the general fund," he said. "In the end, after getting some sense of the analysis, we determined we would just do an across the board cut in the general fund budget."
Tomsic, however, added that several programs, such as the senior center and the Boys and Girls Club, were not cut although they were eligible.
Council member Charlie Hawkins said he wanted to know if the city could ask North Whatcom Fire and Rescue Services (NWFRS) to provide a higher proportion of funding for the position of fire marshal, so the city of Blaine could put the money toward an additional police car.
"I have a real problem with our fire district being not restricted to the same amount of tax increases as the other jurisdictions," he said referring to a recent $1.87 levy lift passed by voters in the former district three. "It seems like to me they're going to be collecting 80 percent more money this year. Everyone else has taken the bite except for the fire district. I don't know why they're not paying for the fire marshal.
City council member Bruce Wolf agreed.
"Charlie's got a very strong point," he said. "I don't think the citizens really understand that the fire percent of the property tax is going to go up 70 percent because of this levy lift. Indeed, we're getting a lot more service and people are very glad about that. But I don't think it's too much to expect to have them help us with the fire marshal.
"I would be extremely upset with the fire district, in fact, if they did not help us with it and if there's a way to get around that, we've supported them in the past 100 percent, and it's time for them to help us in our time of need. I think we have to work on that."
Blaine police chief Mike Haslip said he was not sure if the city could ask NWFRS to help fund the position since Washington state law does not give fire district's fire marshalling authority of their own. He added that, absent the addition of a new fire marshal, he was concerned about the district's ability to provide adequate fire inspections and permit reviews.
"Part of what they're working under now is a significant long-term under-resourcing issue and probably perhaps even more so than the police service that we have in terms in trying to come up to speed with these growth issues," he said. "It appears disparate. I've heard some members of the public and council use the term 'double-dipping' in reference to Blaine citizens being asked to pay their share of county taxes and, at the same time, being asked to pay from our current expense fund to help with the fire marshal plan. But, the greater public good from my point of view is to proceed with the funding of the fire marshal."
Haslip added that in addition to a new fire marshal, the district's 2007 staffing plan includes returning full-time personnel to the Semiahmoo fire station, increasing their presence between Birch Bay and Blaine, and hiring more significant personnel to bring the area back to the level of service residents have enjoyed in years past.
"I agree and I wish there was a way to have the county just pick up the bill," he said, adding that the Whatcom County fire marshal had previously attempted to assist the city with some of their issues but didn't have the staffing to deliver the level of service the city of Blaine requires.
"But North Whatcom is now our service provider from east of Lynden and south of Semiahmoo, and if I was a resident in one of those other areas I don't know what extent I would be interested in having North Whatcom pay for a fire marshal for the city of Blaine."
Tomsic said the because the city has not yet signed a formal agreement with NWFRS, there is still an opportunity to discuss possible funding changes.

Bisphosphonates give some relief from pain caused by cancer that has invaded bones. Patients with cancer that has spread to the bone frequently have pain. Pain control is an important part of cancer management. Bisphosphonates are medicines that affect the way bone develops, and are proving useful in treating patients with cancer that has invaded the bone (metastasis). This review looked at the effect of bisphosphonates on pain caused by bone metastases. Bisphosphonates do have some effect but are not as useful as either strong analgesics (such as morphine) or radiotherapy. However, where other methods of pain relief are inadequate, the addition of bisphosphonates can be beneficial. Bisphosphonates can cause nausea and vomiting.

Nearly half of Indiana school children receive free or reduced lunches and officials say that not every student that qualifies has signed up.
The number of students who qualify is up 27 percent since 2004.
In Vigo County alone nearly 53 percent of students are on the program.
That's more than 8,200.
The main reason the numbers are up is due to the economy and the rules have changed as to who is eligible.
The poverty rate is also up.
Nearly 25% of Indiana Kids live in poverty.
To see if your child qualifies for the free lunch or other programs contact your local school corporation.

By GEORGE HENRYAssociated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Tech linebacker Quayshawn Nealy expects no drop-off when junior quarterback Hutson Mason makes his first career start for Georgia.
It's been a recurring theme this year for Georgia's offense - when one playmaker goes down, someone else fills the void.
Even though Aaron Murray, Keith Marshall, Malcom Mitchell and Justin Scott-Wesley will be unable to play when the Bulldogs arrive Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium, Nealy believes Georgia still has enough weapons to cause problems.
Look no further than tailback Todd Gurley, whom Tech coach Paul Johnson compared to Herschel Walker.
Johnson says if Gurley "isn't the best running back in the country, he is certainly part of a small line."
The Jackets (7-4) have lost 10 the last 11 series matchups with Georgia (7-4).

The following was submitted the The Johnson City Chorale.
The Civic Chorale, the region's leading independent auditioned choir, will hold auditions for new members on Thursday, August 8, in the choir room of Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church, at the corner of Roan and Market Streets in Johnson City, where the group rehearses.
The 40th anniversary season will include a premiere of a newly commissioned work by Dale Warland in honor of our anniversary, and such repertoire as "Rejoice in the Lamb" by Benjamin Britten, "Magnificat" by Imant Raminsh, "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff (in collaboration with the Symphony of the Mountains), and numerous smaller works by Felix Mendelssohn, Eric Whitacre, John Rutter, Herbert Howells, Robert Schumann, Irving Berlin, and Jerome Kern, among others.
The Chorale anticipates 2--4 open positions in each voice part. Ideal candidates are singers with good sight reading skills who love choral music. Interested singers should contact the conductor, David Hendricksen at (423) 638-0409 or by email at <email@example.com> in order to schedule an audition appointment time for August 8. Auditions are private and short (about 15 minutes), and involve singing a familiar piece, sight reading, and some simple vocal exercises to check pitch and dynamic range, control of vibrato and general vocal production.
The Civic Chorale was founded in 1973 by Robert LaPella with a small group of invited singers and Jane LaPella as the gifted accompanist. Over the years, the group has grown to become the region's premiere auditioned volunteer chorus. In addition to singing the standard choral repertoire from Gregorian chant to modern compositions, the Chorale has presented numerous world and regional premieres and frequently collaborated with other music organizations in the region, including the Symphony of the Mountains, the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra, and the East Tennessee Children's Choir.
Since 1998, the Chorale has been led by conductor David Hendricksen. Accompanists are Lisa Runner, piano, and David Runner, organ. For additional information, visit the Chorale web site at www.thecivicchorale.org or contact the conductor by phone at 423-638-0409 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

4 Ways to Cook Homemade Baby Food
Getting food from hard to mushy for first eaters
Method #1: Boiling
Boiling can be a good way to cook a large amount of food, and meat that is boiled often turns out very tender. Requiring just a pot and water, it is also very simple. Sometimes people shy away from this method out of fear that the food will lose some of its nutrients.
Heather Schoenrock, president of Jack's Harvest, a frozen organic baby food company, says you can use the cooking water, which contains some of the nutrients from the produce you are using, to process the food.
Method #2: Steaming
Ruth Frechman, a registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, is a fan of steaming as a way to maintain great taste and nutrition. Steaming involves cooking food over boiling water without it actually touching the water. While some people may choose a steamer that fits a certain pot, others may prefer a collapsible steamer that can be adjusted to different sizes and stores easily. Frechman reminds parents to use a cover on the pot to keep in steam.
Method #3: Microwaving
Microwaving can be considered another form of steaming and is especially good for cooking small quantities quickly. (Note that potatoes should be pierced and vegetables should be put in a covered microwave-safe dish with a bit of water.)
While cooking food in steamer bags may seem like a convenient option, recent reports about microwaves and plastic may make parents skeptical. "The bags are probably safe, but I would recommend using glass containers to avoid the possibility of plastic residues getting into the food," says Frechman.
One of the main things to remember when microwaving is that the heating is not always consistent. Stirring halfway through can help even things out, but parents should stir food again and test it before serving it to a baby.
Method #4: Roasting
Some vegetables are well suited to roasting, especially hard, starchy foods like sweet potatoes. "For squash and pumpkin, I'd just cut in half, seed it and lay it face down in a cookie sheet with 1 inch of water and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes and then scoop it out and blend it," says Julie Cordua, a mom from Manhattan Beach, California.

*** Lesson Details ***
Sheer technique is necessary but insufficient to play an instrument well. Aural skills, that include the study of functional tonality and voice-leading are important factors that impart musicality. This is of great import if the prospective musician wants the audience to truly enjoy his or her performance !
Whether it be the 3 Rs or preparation in the performing arts, a remarkable instructor must go well beyond the subject matter at hand and help imbue the student with a spirit of wonder that, in due time, will foster enthusiasm necessary for excellence.
A child emulates and learns to communicate in his or her mother-tongue through a supporting and nurturing environment. Likewise, a student needs to be sufficiently motivated to embrace learning in a familiar supportive manner.

I have been teaching individual and group lessons for 12+ years. Many of my students have won trophies at the Granquist music competition and also play in local youth orchestras. My own youth string ensemble plays publicly at many popular local venues several times a year. I enjoy exposing my students to the finer points of being a professional musician such as the camaraderie, team work, creativity (creating harmonies, tailoring arrangements to fit student's level) and of course, stage presence. I am very proud of my students. It is so gratifying to see their confidence build with each new skill they master.
*** Lesson Details ***
My approach to teaching is to combine fundamentals with "adventure." I encourage students to experiment with their instrument and have quite a few budding composers. No two students learn in the same way, so I don't use the same strategy for each individual. I believe music should be fun and rewarding. I like to expose students to many different types of music, i.e.; jazz, pop, blues, folk and of course, classical. Students are more likely to practice music that speaks to their personality.
My teaching environment is very laid back. I expect my students to practice, but I don't read them the riot act if they show up to a lesson not having practiced much the week before. I encourage them to practice more the next week and I give them strategies for how to fit practice time into their schedule along with the most efficient way to practice their pieces.
I encourage parents to sit in on their child's lesson, but I don't require it. The more a parent is informed about their child's goals, the better they are able to assist, support and facilitate the student's practice. Involved parents contribute greatly to a child's success.
I love teaching adults too! It is never too late to learn an instrument and the rewards carry over into all aspects of life. As with children, music makes us all smarter. Research proves this. We learn complicated spacial and math skills without even realizing it; we're having too much fun!
I have annual recitals for private students. I speak Spanish.

Sometimes music. I can refer students to instrument rental or purchase places, but do not have instruments to provide. I can obtain music for the students if they prefer, otherwise I will tell them what and where to buy.

I use Suzuki and other books for material, but my teaching is more traditional. I use actual bowhold from start. My own invention - pinky AND thumb houses. Music reading is introduced fairly early. A little at a time and it's painless.

*** Lesson Details ***
I have a very good balance in my lessons of nurturing the student, but also pushing the student to his or her highest potential. I always remain encouraging and supportive. I spend about a third of the lesson on technique work and I always encourage students to bring in their own material that we can work on as well. You will get excellent vocal and piano technique from me, but you will also learn to have fun and appreciate the ease and relaxation of singing and playing piano.

*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are designed to better the performances and techniques of a singer, dancer, or actor.
Techniques such as breathing, diction, pitch, tone, posture, rhythm, smoothness, and stage presence will be practiced. I do my best to develop lessons that are tailored to each student based on their individual needs. Lessons start simply with gentle vocal exercises based on humming and open vowel sounds. Each student can expect to be challenged through exciting a stimulating exercises. I also teach techniques to improve posture, poise and vocal performance. I enjoy using simple scales to improve pitch and volume while also working on clarifying the students voice. A students performance, whether they aspire to be a performer, teacher, or just enjoy performing should have a positive self portrait of themselves. We will work on building confidence so we as performers can take pride in ourselves and what we represent. My students are expected to practice outside of the lesson. I also encourage them to keep a practice journal of when and how long they have practiced. It helps the students to trouble shoot areas of their performance and take the opportunity to ask questions during the next lesson.
My students and I will strive to
- To develop an understanding of basic music theory.
- To take responsibility for their musical and vocal growth.
- To reach for improvement and not perfection.
- To work on the memorization of a performance.
- To try their hardest with each lesson.
- To come to each lesson with an idea of what they would like to achieve.
- To constantly sing correct pitches and rhythms in all songs/performances.
- To practice correct posture and breathe support.
Most importantly,
- To enjoy their performance and learn to embrace the natural talents they are given.

With increasing health care costs in India, health cover for family has become a necessity. A common man always faces a dilemma of choosing the best family floater health insurance plans for himself and his family. Customers today are looking for best products from family health insurance companies for parents as with age the probability of age related illnesses also increases and therefore one should compare health care plans provided by insurers.
Health insurance is available in India in two formats – An Individual Health Policy which caters to a separate health insurance policy for each of the family members and Family Floater Plans wherein the entire family is covered under one plan. The customer has the option to include self, spouse, children and parents thus getting a full family medical insurance coverage.
This genre of policy allows one cover amount for the whole family at comparable prices thus helping you resolve the dilemma of covering children for higher amount since children might have very low risk. There is one floating sum insured for all the family members and now a day's a lot of family health insurance companies are offering such plans to the consumer. In order to evaluate the best family floater health insurance plans for you and your family, certain parameters and benefits of family health insurance plans in India should be kept in mind
Family health insurance plans India give a policy holder an edge by not only making it easy for him to manage one policy but also provides him with family medical insurance with the following advantages:
a) A family floater policy is easier to manage than an individual plan. Compared to an individual plan, family floater policies needs you to remember a single date while renewing, instead of three or four dates in the case of individual plans and it also gets you a full health cover for family.
b) These plans are best health insurance for parents. Most family floater plans provide free health check up for elder members or senior citizens insured under the plan. This helps in reducing overall cost by eliminating unnecessary attachments for younger ones covered.
c) In a family floater, it is easy to add a new family member. With an individual cover, a fresh policy needs to be taken every time there is an addition to the family. In case of the unfortunate demise of the senior-most member of the family, other members of the family can continue with the floater without losing any benefits and health cover for family continues.
d) Many of the insurers provide option to include parent in laws with little extra cost, making it the best health insurance for parents of both side of family.
e) Many insurers have now given the option of 2 year policy cover. This allows a continuous hassle free coverage without any increase in premium for the selected tenure.
f) Features like maternity and new born baby cover makes it very attractive for young couples. These features generally come with a waiting period and coverage depends on the insurer.
g) Cashless feature and health id cards for all members makes it handy in case of medical emergencies.
h) Income tax benefits under Section 80D.
Factors to consider: Family Floater Plans
a) Family health insurance plans India are priced always keeping in mind the age of the senior most member of the family; they may sometimes become expensive.
b) Maximum age for renewability - This varies from company to company.
c) A family floater policy carries a rare risk. If a family has a floater plan for a sum assured of Rs 2 lakh and if for example the entire family suffers medical emergencies in an accident, then in such a case the cover would be inadequate for the family as each of them may require Rs 2 lakh for treatment. The individual will then have to shell out money from the pocket for treatment. In such a scenario, an individual cover will score better.
d) Family floater mediclaim policy comparison should be done keeping in mind your coverage for pre existing diseases, insurance for maternity and exclusions during the first 30 days of the policy. The requirement would depend on the life-stage majorly.
Family floater mediclaim policy comparison can be done at policybazaar.com for your convenience as quotes from all leading insurers are available on one single platform.
