Life is too unpredictable for promises. You won't know what happens today or tomorrow. All you can do is approximate the events based on what happened yesterday, and then plan what to do in case what we fear will happen happens.

This uncertainty is the reason why life insurance exists. Life insurance rates are lower when you set your insurance premiums high. Insurance premiums, in turn, increase as more coverage is added into the plan.

The more coverage you include in your life insurance plan, the better protected you will be. However, the problem with too much coverage is that you are not sure you will be using them in the future.

The cases of swine flu has been steadily increasing since its outbreak in April 2009. So far, the virus has killed at least a thousand people in the United States alone. Almost 100 children had died and 46 states have already recorded numerous cases of the outbreak.

In response to this rising epidemic, President Barack Obama has declared the swine flu epidemic as a national emergency.

As part of the declaration, US Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can bypass federal rules in opening alternative health care sites, such as offsite hospital centers at schools and community centers. Relocating offsite can prevent further spreading of the virus to non-infected patients and health workers at community centers, hospitals and other treatment areas.

Hospitals can also change the rules to speed up access to treatment, such as requiring less information from patients so they can be given treatment as soon as possible.

For our part, we must stay vigilant in observing cleanliness with our surroundings. We can also choose to buy some form of health care, even if it is just low cost health insurance.
