CDC Warns Olympics-Bound Americans About
Measles Risk
Americans traveling to the Summer Olympics in London and the Euro 2012
soccer cup in Poland and Ukraine need to be up-to-date on their measles
vaccinations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
says.
The measles virus is much more prevalent in Europe and caused 26,000
illnesses and 8 deaths last year, USA Today reported.
The Olympics begin July 27 and the Euro 2012 soccer cup on June 8.
“Disease knows no borders,” said Rebecca Martin, director of the CDC’s
Global Immunization Division, USA Today reported. “We are concerned
about Americans coming back from the Olympics this summer and unknowingly
infecting others.”
Most measles cases in the U.S. are imported by American travelers who
have not been vaccinated.

Women Still Have Higher Health Insurance
Rates
The same health insurance coverage still costs women more than men in
most states, even though the new federal health care law will prohibit
such “gender rating” starting in 2014.
In states that have not banned gender rating, more than 90 percent of
the best-selling health plans charge women more than men, according to a
National Women’s Law Center report to be issued this week, The New York
Times reported.
Only 14 states have moved to limit or ban gender rating in the
individual insurance market.
Insurers say women’s premiums are higher because they’re more likely to
visit doctors, to take prescription medicines, to get regular checkups and
to have certain chronic illnesses, The Times reported.
But this explanation is “highly questionable” because disparities
between women’s and men’s rates can vary greatly in the same state,
according to Marcia D. Greenberger, a president of the National Women’s
Law Center.
“In Arkansas, for example, one health plan charges 25-year-old women 81
percent more than men, while a similar plan in the same state charges
women only 10 percent more,” she told The Times.
