These provisions limit or exclude the insurance company’s obligation to pay benefits. Policies have a list of exclusions and limitations. Policies with fewer exclusions may be more expensive than policies with more exclusions. Make sure you understand what will and will not be covered.
· Waiting Periods
A waiting period is the amount of time that must pass after the policy takes effect and before coverage begins. If a policy has a waiting period, benefits will not be paid or they might be limited for expenses that arise during a specific number of days after the policy is in effect. Waiting periods are not applicable in some cases if an individual had certain types of prior coverage. Waiting periods may apply only to certain conditions or services.
· Preexisting Conditions
Individual policies usually will not pay benefits until a certain time period has elapsed for a health condition you had when you bought the policy. This type of health condition is known as a “preexisting” condition. Exclusions for preexisting conditions are intended to preclude individuals with an illness or injury from waiting to buy a policy until they need treatment that would otherwise be paid for under the policy. You should know the meaning of any provisions excluding benefits for preexisting conditions. Also, you should know how long the provision will exclude benefits for preexisting conditions. Many claims are denied because of these provisions.

If you are covered by a group policy provided by your employer, the waiting period for preexisting conditions cannot be any longer than 12 months. It may be less or not applicable at all if you have had previous group coverage. Do not think that because the application asks no questions about your health or medical history or the policy requires no physical examination, the policy will cover conditions that you already have. It probably will not. If the company asks questions about your health history it is important to answer them truthfully. Under some definitions a condition would be considered “preexisting” even if you did not know that you had the condition before you bought your policy. Also, you need to know how many previous years will be considered for determining a preexisting condition. A group health plan provided through your employer cannot look back any further than six months before your effective date.
· Other Exclusions
In addition to preexisting conditions, health insurance policies usually exclude illness or injury resulting from war or military service or those covered under workers’ compensation.

· Long-Term Care
This policy usually pays for skilled, intermediate and custodial care in a nursing home. It usually pays a fixed amount per day while a person is in a nursing home. Most policies contain elimination periods, during which no benefits are paid. Some policies also cover alternative types of care such as home health care or adult day care. Some even cover home modification expenses. Normally, these policies pay only for expenses in facilities that are licensed by the state and/or participate in Medicaid and Medicare, and meet the policy’s definition of skilled, intermediate or custodial care. For this reason, it is important to find out about the types of nursing homes that are in your area before you buy the policy.

· Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)
These organizations provide health care services directly to their members, who pay a fixed monthly fee to the HMO. These services include such things as hospital care, surgery and routine office visits. The HMO is an alternative to traditional health insurance because it provides actual services rather than just reimbursement for health care expenses. Enrollees usually pay a small co-payment for care or services they receive. There are various ways that HMOs can be set up. Some HMOs employ their own physicians, who treat patients at an HMO center. Others contract with individual physicians or groups of physicians. Patients are treated at the physicians’ offices or health centers. Usually, HMO members must receive health care treatment at a designated hospital, HMO facility or from physicians who contract with the HMO. Before you pay a fee to join an HMO, ask questions about how it works and where you would receive care, and talk to people who belong to it. Consider whether you will have to stop seeing a particular physician and choose another.

· Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs)
Under this program, an insurance company enters into contracts with selected hospitals and doctors to furnish services at discounted rates. As a member of a PPO, you might be able to seek care from a doctor or hospital that is not a preferred provider, but you will probably have to pay a higher deductible or co-payment.

· Point of Service (POS)
This plan combines the benefits of an HMO and traditional health insurance. Enrollees can use providers in the HMO for
a nominal co-payment or seek care outside the HMO network where a deductible and a share of the expenses, often 20 percent to 30 percent, may have to be paid.

. Major Medical Expense
This type of policy is usually effective in covering serious illness or injury where costs are high. Expenses you incur both in and out of the hospital, including drugs and doctors’ visits, usually are covered. Most major medical plans contain a deductible — the amount you pay before the insurance company begins paying benefits. After your expenses exceed the deductible amount, benefits are paid as a percentage of actual expenses, often 80 percent.

· Disability Income Protection
This coverage provides for weekly or monthly benefit payments while you are disabled after a covered injury or sickness. The disability payment is usually a set dollar amount not to exceed a certain percentage of your income. Usually the most you can qualify for is approximately 60 percent of your gross earnings.
Be aware that some disability income policies contain an elimination period, measured from the start of each disability.
During that time, no benefits are paid. Elimination periods vary, generally from 30 days to six months, depending on the policy. A longer elimination period may provide lower premium payments.  Also, many disability income policies reduce benefits based on other income to which you may be entitled, such as sick leave pay, disability retirement income, and Social Security disability benefits.

· Accident Only Coverage
This policy covers losses due to an accident. Benefits vary greatly. Coverage may be provided for death, loss of limb or
sight, disability, or hospital and medical care.

· Specified Disease or Specified Accident
Some policies cover a specific disease, such as cancer, or a specific kind of accident, such as while traveling away from home. Benefits are not paid for any other sickness or injury. The benefits may be based on your actual medical xpenses
or payable as a lump sum indemnity.

· Medicare Supplement
The federal Medicare program pays most medical expenses for people 65 or older, or for individuals under 65 receiving Social Security disability benefits. However, Medicare does not pay all expenses. As a result, you may consider purchasing a Medicare Supplement policy that helps pay for certain expenses, including deductibles not covered by Medicare.

Tesla is very concerned with the transmission of energy is not just a small amount of radio signals, but also a big energy electricity for household and industry. In fact in 1899 he built the station sending a giant electricity in Colorado Springs, the Rocky plateau. Installation is similar to the barn measures 60 m2. Right in the middle of the roof there is the framework tower 60 m. At its peak copper ball mounted 90 cm in diameter. In the framework of building a 23 m diameter circular fenced and a coil of wire wound around the main transmitter, a second coil attached to a diameter of 3 m directly at stake.

Working principle is similar to the swing toy kids. Encouragement will start moving light, the same drive at the right time, will make the swing higher and higher. Similarly, a series of electrical vibration, the frequency of the received just in the main coil, will produce vibrations that would be bigger and higher results in the second coil. Vibration in the pole associated with the Tesla coil will generate a high frequency radio waves can travel far to other parts of the earth and back.

If then by means of oscillation (DC current converter to AC) are aligned on the natural frequency electric currents of the earth, when the current return will strengthen the vibration in the pole voltages and currents pushed out of the earth. The result, a greater flow will come out as a wave through the transmitter. In theory, the entire planet can be used as a second amplifier circuit currents.

The atmosphere was told the operation of the tool by John J. O’Neill in Prodigal Genius. Tesla saw the top of the pole outside the building, aides Czito stood timidly near the controls in it. When Czito pressed the button, the second coil is surrounded by a circular electric fire, splash through the crowded outside the building, and sharp snapping sound at an altitude far above his head. “… There is tremendous rattling noise from the coils that growing louder and louder … The sound is similar to one after another barrage of machine guns. Eruptions far in altitude the air is very hard more like a cannon boomed. As if there was war artillery in the building. .. Suddenly a strange blue light in the building. Coil on. Every point in the building fire. So many blazing flames ….”

Tesla was fascinated. From the copper ball on top of the pole, came the explosion, lightning, and flames as far as 40 m. Lightning suddenly stopped. Tesla ran into the lab, Czito protest because stopping the experiment. Without speaking Czito pointing control buttons, power supply damaged. Experiments were burned down power systems Electricity Company of Colorado Springs. [listrik5.gif (53,015 bytes)] modern Demonstration Tesla ideas. Fluorescent lamps lit by radio frequency waves from the Tesla coil, without cables.

Fortunately, the results of the generator design company Tesla, which can be operated in a week again. The results of the experiment was described in her paper, “… When we hear the noises and echoes, that sound means hit the wall or barrier at a certain distance, and then reflected back. Like the sound, electric wave can be reflected. The evidence of their similarities are electrical phenomena known as permanent waves are waves with a fixed form. I can not send electrical vibrations toward the wall, but to the limits of the earth in the distance. What I learned, balanced … electric waves reflected from a distance. “

Tesla coil demonstration effect for the giant installation in Colorado Springs was able to turn 200 Edison’s incandescent lamp at a distance by 40 km with no wires!

If you want to watch a magic ball of light, you can venture into the Hornet Spooklight Road, a remote road about 20 km to the southwest city of Joplin, Missouri, USA. Near it is a place called “Devil’s Promenade”, where the devil walks. Since 1866 the frequent Spooklight ball of light the size of basketballs or larger.

A resident of Miami, Oklahoma, Steve Hale was intrigued and waiting for it a few times. In July 1998 he managed to catch him.

Usually the ball rolling quickly in the middle of a gravel road, then climbed, jumped and darted from side to side. It looks like a large lantern, but no one took him.

The light that never appeared in the vehicles, but moved away when pursued. No one ever hurt. It’s just that people are afraid of passing on the street at night, because the light can come round suddenly. Of course, the various tales that arise around the ball.

Have long studied the light, chased, photographed and even shot, but no avail.

Does light swamp gas? Apparently not, because the wind did not bother him. Mineral glow from the mines in the area? It should be questioned also because of the rise is not always in the same place. Magnetic field is formed in the earthquake and ground movement? Perhaps. 1811-1812 four-year earthquake indeed ravage this region. Its existence was reported only after its population grew around the time of the Civil War.

There are people who believe that light is reflected lights of a passing car on the highway about 8 km east of Devil’s Promenade. However, the ball was reported to have appeared since 1866. Where there is a highway and cars coming and going at that time?

Spooklight not the only place the ball glow appeared in the U.S.. There are many other places. Bar and hotel owners often use them to attract tourists.

In the Wet Mountain Valley in Colorado say a magic light up almost every night since more than 100 years ago. Place in the … grave!

New York Times reporter specifically come to the funeral Silver Cliff in 1967 to see it with my own eyes. Two years later turn Edward J. Linehan, assistant editor of National Geographic there accompanied Westcliffe resident named Bill Kleine.

They arrived at the cemetery when it was dark. Linehan saw “specks of light blue dim white” on top of each grave. As he approached, the light was gone and then slowly came back. He shined his flashlight. That looks just tombstones. Fifteen minutes they played cat and mouse with the light at the Tombs.

Linehan collect theories, but one by one fall. Some thought the light was released by the radioactive ore. But when tested with a geiger counter, it was in the area found no radioactive.

Allegations that there was fraud that gave the paint on gravestones is not proven. There’s no way that light also released the gas from the decomposing corpse because since the turn of the century there were no more bodies were buried there.

Some claimed that the light that arose as a “special effect” of light mercury lamps on the side of the hill. In fact, the light was installed before the installation of lights and stay there a few times when the electricity died.

There have been many miraculous events can be explained scientifically. However, the ball of light is still a phenomenon that can not be explained rationally, even though it reported more than 1,000 years ago, when St. Gregory of Tours (538-593) witnessed with surprise and amazement a bright fireball and blinding appeared in the procession of people, including a number of authorities, which will inaugurate a place of worship.

What else can boast of Colorado? Of course, ski resorts in the mountains of snow which becomes a paradise for ski lovers in winter. 30 recorded in Colorado ski scattered throughout the Rocky Mountains.

In the northern Colorado, Steamboat Springs became a popular ski. Many ski lovers went there to try out the ski fields is challenging. Then in the west of Denver, there are several well-known ski resort which is always filled with tourists in winter. One of them is the Vail ski resort that is the largest ski complex in the U.S.. In addition to Vail, the names of other ski resorts Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Winter Park, or the Keystone whose name was so famous in the ears of lovers of skiing. Meanwhile, in southwestern Colorado, ski resorts Telluride, Purgatory and Wolf Creek emerged as a skiing arena quite famous.

Each ski resort has its own characteristics to attract ski enthusiasts to come visit. There is a complete resort facility, to a ski slope steepness, type and thickness of snow, or the strategic location.

But most importantly, all of which presents a panorama winter wonderland in the snowy mountains is amazing. Pines and white pines, lakes and rivers are frozen, along with a cold breeze that wafted slowly makes winter atmosphere dazzle in these resorts. Not to mention the snow falling slowly from the sky like cotton.

Several national monuments are also a supporter of Colorado tourism. One of them is the Great Sand Dunes National Monument which is a sand hill that is located in the San Luis Valley, southern Colorado. This natural national monument is a natural phenomenon that is very unique. Imagine, a lot of barren sand dunes alongside vast Sangre de Cristo Mountains are fertile and culminated eternal snow.

According to the research of geologists, these dunes are formed through a process that occurred thousands of years ago. At that time the sandy wind blowing from the south hampered by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are very high. Thus the grains of sand that accumulates gradually in the face of these mountains. Eventually the pile of sand into large dunes and tall as witnessed today.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is another natural national monument in Colorado which is located in the west, near the town of Montrose. As the name implies, natural attractions are offered gorges steep black rocks along the 19 km. Often this place called ‘The Grand Canyon of Colorado’, although in terms of area and its width is still less when compared to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. But the Black Canyon has the advantage compared to the Grand Canyon and other gorges in the U.S. in terms of overall beauty.

Black Canyon beauty radiated from the depth and steepness gap combined with the shadow of the sun on one side. At the bottom of Black Canyon of the Gunnison River flows have current swift. Ute Indian Tribe who lived in this area hundreds of years ago called this gap Tomichi which means “land of high cliffs and lots of water”. Several interest point has also been provided by the park manager on the edge for the visitors who want to enjoy the beauty of this natural attraction.

Meanwhile, Colorado National Monument is located in western Colorado, near the city of Grand Junction, offers attractions cliff, ravine, and the towers nature of the copper-colored rock that formed millions of years ago. The famous rock formation is the Independence Monument, a natural stone tower as high as 250 m which rises from the abyss. At Monument Canyon, a collection of natural wall stood firm spired from the bottom of the ravine to a height of 200 m.

The visitors can see the beauty of rock formations from the road winding built on the edge. Of course, to drive in such a way that required extraordinary vigilance
