Each year, the average U.S. physician spends $83,000 to manage their communications with health insurance companies and other payers. According to an analysis by the University of Toronto, that is nearly four times the cost incurred by Canadian physicians. Under the Canadian single-payer health insurance system, physicians spend an average of $22,000 for these administrative costs.

“The major difference between the United States and Ontario is that non-physician staff members in the United States spend large amounts of time obtaining prior authorizations and on billing,” said Professor Dante Morra, one of the report authors, in a statement.

In the U.S., physicians must work with a number of different health insurance companies and health plans, each with its own coverage criteria and requirements.

As women, we like seeing members of our sex doing things that make us all look good.

Unfortunately there are some women that make us grate our teeth and bite our nails while inwardly we scream, “Why on earth did you do that? Now we all look stupid!”

One female driver, described by one online newspaper as a “hapless blond”, recently did something which warrants such a reaction.

She was driving her Bentley Azure (£250,000) near the very fancy Place du Casino in Monte Carlo when she caused a rather expensive pile-up.

A Mercedes S Class, Ferrari, Porsche 911 and Aston Marin Rapide were all involved in the crash – and it is estimated to have caused more than £40,000 of damage.

Like everyone else, we at CoverGirl were both saddened and shocked to learn this week of the tragically premature death of Amy Winehouse.

Although she had a sound and a style that harked back to the glory years of Motown, Winehouse, with her dark beehive, rockabilly tattoos and diminutive frame, which belied her deep and capacious sound, was truly inimitable.

Already the consensus is that, despite being just 27-years-old and only two studio albums into her career, Winehouse’s place in the pantheon of great British vocalists is truly assured.

In a sense, there is a feeling that the singer, like other members of the “27-club”, such as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, didn’t live any less of a life than many of us who go on to live well into dignified old age – It could be said that all of these artists lived a kind of distilled existence, where in their short lives they produced truly remarkable music that will still be resounding loudly and profoundly in the world long after most of us are forgotten.

But this does not in anyway lessen the tragedy or the thoughts of what might have been had they gone on to live longer lives.

The death also reminds us of the unique pressures endured by young people and, increasingly, young women, in the music business.

For whatever reasons, drug addiction and alcoholism are rife in an industry where younger people surely need more protection.
