	Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health: Decompression sickness
		Decompression sickness (DCS) is a dangerous and occasionally lethal condition caused by nitrogen bubbles that form in the blood and other tissues of scuba divers who surface too quickly.
		Since symptoms of decompression sickness can be quite mild, many cases go unnoticed by divers; thus this estimate is probably understated.
		The obvious way to minimize the risk of decompression sickness is to follow the rules of safe diving and air travel after a dive.

	To Have and To Hold, In Sickness and In Health?
		In contrast to these findings, differences in health insurance coverage between Latinos and whites are due to group differences in both the rate of health insurance loss and gain.
		Health insurance tied to employment is the most common source of health insurance for non-elderly Americans, and loss of employment-related coverage held in the worker's own name is the most common route into being uninsured.

	In Sickness and In Health \| CorrenteWire
		Health insurance is something of a luxury for the majority of Americans, unlike the situation I was accustomed to when raising a family.
		I suppose there are funny and ironic jokes about a health care reality in which people are literally forced to be more careful about preventative care and body maintenance, because to do otherwise is to guarantee a life in debtor’s prison afterwards, assuming you survive at all, or a painful death, if you’re unlucky.
		It does amaze me that most Americans are so cowed they’d rather watch loved ones wither away and die, so that various health care bean counters and execs can enjoy the fruits of premiums that double every year, and exceed the rate of inflation by obscene margins.

		A 1990 issue of a prominent health journal devoted entirely to aging issues--germane in its time, but practically a museum piece today.

		"You don't expect the health of middle-aged people in these two countries to be too different, but we found that the Americans are a lot less healthy than the English," said James Smith, a RAND economist and one of the study's authors.
		An analysis of health surveys showed the prevalence of diabetes and cancer were nearly twice as high among white American 55- to 64-year-olds than British in that age group.
		In weighing the source of the health gap, the researchers said the answer most likely stemmed from higher U.S. rates of obesity and Americans' tendency to avoid exercise -- though the English were catching up.
