Who will get the most benefit from an iron supplement

Health
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
4 0

Some populations can benefit from taking iron supplements. Those who have inadequate access to foods rich in absorbable iron are the most obvious groups.

Children, adolescents, and women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy, can especially benefit from taking iron supplements. Infants and adolescents have an increased iron demand because of rapid growth. Women of reproductive age may have an increased iron demand due to blood loss during menstruation.  During pregnancy, rapid growth of the placenta and the fetus and the expansion of the blood volume causes a significant increase in the normal iron requirement. The body uses iron to make extra red blood cells and hemoglobin to transport oxygen for mother and baby during this time.

Answer:

You probably want to save as much money as you can, as $30,000 is not much for a growing family of four, so you'll probably choose the HMO. Even if your employer pays for you, the costs of PPO's tend to be higher, so the portion you will pay for the family will also be higher.

One caution: if you want to see a doctor that you like, be sure to check with that doctor's office to find out which health care network(s) they belong to. The HMO is set up to work with your primary care physician. Your kids are young, and will probably be going to the doctor a lot more than you can imagine-- ear aches, required immunization shots, coughs, colds, whatever they pass around from one kid to another.

Big benefit of HMO-- besides saving money:  your primary care physician will get to know you and your family, and will understand your feelings and needs in your family.

Here's one more quote from the first source listed below:  The Breakdown

HMOs and Fee-for-Service Plans are on opposite sides of your health insurance spectrum, while POS and PPO plans fall somewhere in between them. HMO’s offer the least freedom, followed in order by the POS, the PPO and Fee-for-Service plans. Cost-wise, an HMO is usually the least expensive option, followed by POS plans, PPO plans and finally Fee-for-Service Plans.
