Avoiding Affordable Care Act or “Obamacareâ€? Scams A Letter From District Attorney Charles Branson I know there are strong opinions about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or what is commonly referred to as Obamacare. My concern is that Douglas County residents do not fall prey to the scammers that are pouring out of the woodwork to steal personal information from the people who are preparing to sign up for the health insurance coverage. If you will be utilizing the Health Insurance Marketplace, your best protection from the scammers is to be informed and educated about the process. Spend some time reviewing HealthCare. gov or https://www. healthcare.gov to become familiar with the basics about obtaining health coverage. Some of the DQVZHUV \RX FDQ ÂżQG DW this site are as follows: • What if you need coverage that starts before January 2014? • What if you do not have healthcare coverage in 2014? • What if you are selfemployed? or • What if you have pre-existing health conditions?

Also, be aware of the Marketplace Open Enrollment dates. Those dates are October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014. You will know to suspect fraud if someone tries to enroll you outside these dates unless you have a Qualifying Life Event. https://www. healthcare.gov/glossary/ qualifying-life-event/ Scammers will be gunning for your private information. Now is the time to protect your private health care and ÂżQDQFLDO LQIRUPDWLRQ $FFRUGLQJ WR WKH RIÂżFLDO website for the Health Insurance Marketplace, nobody should ask for your personal health information, such as your health history, any health conditions you have or medical treatments you have received. Do not give that information to anybody. In addition, you should never be asked to pay for services or help to apply for Marketplace coverage. Keep personal and account numbers private. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to a fake “navigatorâ€? from a company you did not contact. That is a common way scammers will try to steal your

information. Double check any information that is confusing or VRXQGV ÂżVK\ <RX FDQ also call the Marketplace at 1-800-318-2596. TTY users should call 1-855-889-4325. If you suspect identity theft, you can report suspected fraud to the FTC Complaint Assistant or https://www. ftccomplaintassistant. gov/#&panel1-1 and you should make a report to your local law enforcement agency. I hope this information about Health Insurance Marketplace was helpful to you and as always, for general consumer protection information, please contact my consumer protection RIÂżFH DW We are always ready to serve the citizens of Douglas County.

Is it true that simply taking short breaks to walk around throughout the day actually has an impact on health?

F

Yes, evidence continues to grow stronger suggesting that it does. Accumulating a total of at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day in bouts of 10 or 15 minutes each has been shown IRU VRPH WLPH WR LPSURYH ¿WQHVV DQG PHDVXUHV RI heart health, such as blood lipids and blood pressure, and body composition. Now studies suggest that even doing mini-bouts of a few minutes that add up to at least 30 minutes over the day might also reduce health risks. A review article published this year concluded that short bouts of frequent activity throughout the day may decrease blood triglyceride levels following meals, enough to lower risk of heart disease. And in one study, 70 adults who walked for less than two minutes every 30 minutes throughout one day more effectively reduced the rise in blood sugar and insulin following meals compared to when those same adults who walked for 30 minutes and then sat all day. More research is needed, especially among people with the insulin resistance of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, scientists say we know enough to encourage people whose day includes a lot of sitting to include some standing or brief walking every hour or so all day. It’s good to know that when we’re too busy or outof-condition to walk for even 10 minutes at a time, small breaks do seem to make a difference.
