Do people who demand the right to be uninsured protest at companies that give health insurance benefits?

if they oppose the government tampering with their rights they must really hate employers.
--------------------
I doubt it! Great question by the way, have a star! It surprises me that so many Americans seem not to be aware about Obama's healthcare plans [a]. During the election, he campaigned for these changes stating that he felt it was unfair to have a system where insurance companies try to escape paying claims and was elected to bring in changes [b]. First of all, too many people do not know that Obama wants to make insurance more available to all. His system is similar to that which works in Holland, Taiwan [c] and Switzerland. It works there and private healthcare companies provide most the insurance to the people there. FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [d]. FACT – insurance companies admit that they push up costs, buy politicians and do not pay out for many claims when they should [e]. FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [f]. That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, the Netherlands, Cuba, Switzerland, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage. And no western European nation with universal healthcare has moved away from it. And the sad thing is, that the insurance companies have spent loads of money to fight these reforms [g] and loads of politicians are taking the thirty pieces of silver from them to fight the reforms, rather than fight for the health of the American people. Remember, I back my facts up with evidence. Those who say they are wrong tend not to. If they are wrong, e-mail me with proof and let me know.

Can I stay on health care insurance plan if I'm 19 and not dependent?

I am 19 years old, I live in tennessee. The only insurance I currently have is tenncare. My parents are also covered on tenncare. I am no longer going to be considered dependent though, and I would like to know if I can stay on tenncare because my parents have it under the new healthcare law. I know if you are a child you can stay on your parents insurance until age 26 now, but does that apply to tenncare? If anyone can help, thanks.
--------------------
TennCare is welfare health insurance. Once you turn 19, you "age off" off it. It's not a "dependent" thing. It's not subject to the same rules as a private insurance plan through your parent's employer. The 26 law, is only for REAL insurance, not welfare insurance. With welfare insurance, once you turn 19 and "age off", you have to apply for yourself.

If Chairman Obama comes to your house to force you to buy a product(health insurance)will you spit in his face?

or will you just laugh at him?
--------------------
So you think you will never need health insurance in your lifetime and upset that President Obama has passed a health-care reform bill that will cover all people who could not buy health insurance due to pre-existing conditions or have gone bankrupt paying for medical bills that were denied, or had to have fund raisers to pay for. Do you realize that over 40,000 people a year die each year since they don't have health insurance and can't get treatment since they cant afford to pay for it. Since obviously you believe you will never need health insurance in your lifetime, I suggest you go and get a tattoo on your wrist of DNR, (do not resuscitate) which means if you are ever in an accident, or need life sustaining treatment of any kind, that they never treat you and let you die, since obviously you will never ever need it. Granted the bill is not perfect, nor will this be in effect till 2014, or it could be repealed, but this is better than what we currently have. But to say this is a product you will never need, makes no sense, since we all die of something, and when that happens, how do you plan on paying for any treatment to sustain your life or possibly to increase the chances of living a few years longer?

is interstate health insurance part of the health care reform bill?

I'm having a heck of a time finding an answer on 'the google'. I know democrats did some stuff to try and make it non-partisan (dropping the "death-panels" and public option) and this simple addition would make sense. But I can't find anything saying whether they did or didn't. PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS INTO AN ARGUMENT! I'M JUST LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER!
--------------------
Yes. The relevant policy is in Section 1333, which allows the formation of interstate compacts. PS--There were *never* any "death panels," so there was nothing to drop.

Do you think we should have universal health insurance, or universal healthcare?

Why or why not?
--------------------
Both! For those who can afford insurance they can choose what Private doctors and what Private hospitals. For those who cannot afford insurance, they can be seen for free in Public Hospitals, with Public Consultants. Most Countries operate this system. GL
