Summertime Tanning Tips and Cobra Info

Now that Summer is almost here let's debunk some myths about sunscreen protection. SPF 30 is NOT twice as protective as SPF 15. Here's how it works: SPF15 screens out 93% of UVB rays, SPF30 blocks 97%, and SPF50 blocks 99%. Not much difference in reality.

Regarding those of you on Cobra Insurance Plans. The nations' economic stimulus plan now requires former employers of most laid off employees to pay 65% of their cobra premium. Be sure to contact the HR department where you used to work to make sure you get the benefit. The employer is reimbursed via a payroll tax credit. Paying 35%is sure a lot better than paying 100%.
