If you are between 19 and 29 years old, you are at the height of all your physical powers, chances are you will never be as healthy as you are now. Life is good in California, that is till the unexpected happens.
Unfortunately, life was designed to be unpredictable. You can't always predict what is going to happen next. It only takes one slip skiing, one tackle playing flag football, or one crash on a bike to make you realize that from time to time the financial pains resulting from coping with an unexpected injury can easily outweigh any physical distress. If and when you find yourself laid out by the grass, the snow, the waves, the roadway or something as unforeseeable as a burst appendix you are definitely going to wish you had the assistance that only reliable health care coverage has to give.
Blue Cross of California is now offering three straight-up, practical and reasonably priced health care plans specifically designed to cover you from head to toe. They are known as TONIK, and if you happen to be between 19 to 29 years of age, plan rates can clock in as low as $60 -$90 per month, depending on which of the three TONIK health plans that you pick. TONIK can help protect your financial present and future with three easy to understand health plans.
TONIK Health Plans are just not for the young, people from 1-65 are welcome to apply, but the plans is being specifically marketed to the 18-28 year age group.
TONIK is a product offering of the Blue Cross Life & Health Insurance Co., backed by the impeccable reputation of Blue Cross of California; California's largest single health indemnity carrier.
Blue Cross surveyed hundreds of young adults to find out what it was that they didn't like about standard health insurance offerings that was keeping 1.6 million of them out of the marketplace in California alone. Nationwide, more than thirty percent of Americans between nineteen and twenty-nine are uninsured.
The TONIK plan takes care of your health concerns by covering most lab-work, x-ray's, and even certain specialized procedures under its office visit co-payment schedule. In addition, TONIK includes both, vision and dental plan benefits in addition to generic pharmacy-RX, and doc visits. Once a particular planýs deductible level is met, all covered health benefits will be paid in full. There are no co-insurance percentages that must be paid-out by plan members until a higher out of pocket maximum has been satisfied.
TONIK is a truly cutting edge health insurance offering, besides its plan details, even its look, feel and most importantly it's application and applicant approval process set it apart from just about every health plan currently available. You are able to apply for the TONIK plan of choice with the new Tonik online application. You can be covered in less than ten minutes!

Tonik Tips for Mosquito Season
That agonizing dive-bomber hum, that wispy tickle, the slap, the bump, the itch. Yes, it's skeeter time. Mosquitoes can carry diseases, but, more often, they just annoy us right out of our back yards or leave us with unpleasant reminders of a hike, a party or an afternoon of play. The most effective ways to beat these bugs are to keep them from breeding (rather than trying to kill the adult flying insects) and to stay indoors during their dusk-to-dawn prime time.
You may not think that you need health coverage to protect you from mosquito bites, but the pest is also a carrier of many diseases such as West Nile, and Malaria which can kill you if you don't get prompt attention. Make sure you have a quality health plan like Tonik from BCBS to protect you when the wrong bug bites you and puts a crimp in your lifestyle.
Here are a few tips to protect yourself.
1. Make water move. Mosquitoes lay eggs in still water, so make sure that fountain and pond water circulates constantly and that swimming pool and spa water is treated and filtered. Pond fish eat mosquito larvae but miss those hiding in vegetation.
2. Dry out pools. A mosquito nursery needs surprisingly little water, so inspect your entire property weekly to eliminate even small pools of H2O: low spots in lawns, gutters, boat tarps, pool covers, watering cans, buckets, tire ruts in driveways, leaky outdoor faucets, discarded soda cans, tire swings, wheelbarrows, saucers under pots, birdbaths, wading pools, children's toys. Encourage your neighbors to do the same. Screen rain barrels and empty them every 10 days.
3. Be skeptical about traps. Studies have shown that bug-zappers, which kill flying insects with a light beam, attract more insects than they kill -- and kill more beneficial insects than mosquitoes. Electrical and propane traps do catch mosquitoes, but no studies show they actually reduce users' chances of being bitten. Instructions for these pricey machines are to run them continually, even when you are not outdoors, and to set them far from the sitting area.
4. Use repellants with care. The most effective and long-lasting repellent ingredient still is DEET, according to recent tests by Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports magazine. Two others, oil of lemon eucalpytus and picaridin, worked less well and needed to be applied more often. All three are approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the federal Environmental Protection Agency as safe if used according to label directions. The chemicals work by scent, so don't apply them under clothing. Long pants, sleeves and socks also help. Folklore offers other supposed repellants such as Avon Skin-So-Soft lotion, but tests don't support their effectiveness, still a bath with Skin So Soft isn't a bad idea after being bitten all over your extremities.
5. Keep bugs out of the house. Inspect window screens and door edges for holes and gaps. Install spring or pneumatic closers on screen doors. Don't leave patio doors open, even to carry food and dishes in and out. Mosquitoes become most active in late afternoon -- just when you are grilling.
