Can you be denied health insurance if you are diagnosed with herpes?
I live in Florida and I'm helping my boyfriend with some research because he thinks he has herpes when I keep telling him he doesn't. Considering we live in Florida would he be denied health insurance?
--------------------
No because herpes is nothing more than a skin irritation.

Has anyone heard of or are they receiving insurance from American Health Benefits?
I am looking for health insurance, but am being turned down because I am diabetic. American Health Benefits called me and said I can get coverage for myself and my whole family. Could someone offer an opinion as to whether this would be a company I should go with...or what questions I should be asking.

AHB isn't insurance. Read the small print, they aren't going to PAY anything. All they do, is sell you a LIST. The list is doctors who allegedly will give you a discount. There is no guarantee, that those names on the list, will actually give you a discount. And 20% off of a $500 bill, still leaves you paying $400. So, it's not COVERAGE, as they don't PAY anything.

If I change my legal guardian to my aunt will I still get my parents health insurance?
--------------------
First, it isn't that easy to change your legal guardian. Second, if your parents are no longer responsible for you, their insurance may very well no longer cover you.

Why must I be prevented by government bureaucrats from choosing which health insurance provider?
I want? I live in New York (Brooklyn), and I can only choose a handful of companies in New York that are protected from competition from the rest of the country. So, instead of being able to choose from HUNDREDS of health insurance providers throughout the United States, (which would do wonders in keeping costs down) I have to chose between half a dozen overpriced, arrogant providers who know they got me by the balls because they have sweetheart deals with city and state bureaucrats who keep them protected at my (and everyone else) expense.

~~Health insurance has always been governed under state laws. Health insurance is the problem, rich corporations keeping us hostage for something we need to survive. What I'm sick of is that the public option was given up on so early. That would be the only true way of getting competition to the corporate giants. The reason insurance could not work across state lines is because of the state medical laws, credentialing, etc. could never be worked out to buy across state lines. In theory it sounds reasonable but after working in that type of work for 14 years, I can without a doubt tell you it would be a nightmare. So, we will have some reform (not happy with the 4 year wait for most of the insurance regulation changes to go into affect, but at least it is a starting place. Maybe another generation or two will finally be free of "for huge profit health insurance!"

Do I have to pay income taxes on a health insurance payout?
My insurance company wrote me a check directly for a health insurance claim. I'm not sure why they paid me, as opposed to directly paying the provider, who filed the claim. The provider is out-of-network, so maybe that's why. Anyway, my question is will I have to count this as income and pay taxes on it? It's roughly 25K. If so, I'll be wishing they would have paid the provider directly.
--------------------
Generally, no. If you paid the provider in an earlier year, and you deducted that payment on your tax return for that year, then the money that you receive now is taxable. If you have not yet paid the provider, or you paid the provider without taking a tax deduction for your payment to the provider, then it is not taxable.

Are the Dems scared that the Supreme Court will deem their provision to have everyone by health insurance as?
being Unconstitutional. If that happens, what will happen to the Health Care bill? My thoughts, is that new taxes will be proportioned and now we will have 3 tax brackets instead of two on our federal taxes. 1. Social Security 2. Medicare 3. Health Insurance And low and behold, universal health care will slowly creep into the system.

Can you get Health Insurance after getting Breast Implants?
I read somewhere that health insurance co. dont provide coverage to woman with breast implants due to the complications that implants cause over time, like breast cancer, lung cancer, or any other complications that they might want to blame on the implants, If you have had implants for some time now, let me know if you have Health insurance, and if you ever had a problem with getting anything done that insurance didnt want to pay for.
--------------------
The coverage will depend upon the insurance company, your state of residence, the reason you got the implants, how long ago the procedure was done, and if there have been any complications since. Some companies in my state won't take you if it's been less than 1 year. Some companies will rider the implants, which means they'll cover you for everything except the implants or anything resulting from the implants. Some companies will increase the premium but still cover you, while other will accept you with no conditions. You'll want to visit a local independent agent. The agent can find out which companies in your area will be best for you. The plans and premiums are exactly the same whether you use an agent or not. If you try to get a policy over the internet you will have no idea what the insurance company will do.

where can my boyfriend get health insurance?
My boyfriends job does not cover health insurance and he has low income, Is there a company that gives you health insurance for free or cheap with the government?
--------------------
Health insurance isn't free. If he is healthy and young he can get a major medical policy starting around 70 dollars a month in some areas. If he has a preexisting condition that insurance companies won't accept then 36 states offer some sort of government run major medical policy, possibly with subsidies for the less wealthy depending on your income. Do not get a "defined benefit" or limited benefit health plans if you can avoid it. The major medical insurance policies are worth paying more for. Seriously plans like "cynergy" are the last place you should look.

If employers will be required by law to provide health insurance for workers who will be required to provide?
it to the workers families? Will employers be required to provide health insurance to spouses and children of employees? If not how will it be paid for?
--------------------
Employers will be required to do that as well. First a mandated minimum wage and then telling business what they must provide in the way of benefits. Dangerous stuff..

If I go to the emergency room with no health insurance, what will I have to pay ?
I broke my finger and I'm going to the emergency room tomorrow. I'm a college student and I live alone and currently have no health insurance. Will I have to pay anything or will I billed ? And if the injury requires surgery, will they bill me for that too ? If there is anything I should know please tell me.

Try calling the student health service at your college. They should be able to give you good advice about where to go and how much it should be. Insurance through school is pretty cheap. You definitely want to get it next term.

Does anyone know which health insurance companies give the cheapest offer?
What are some good health insurance companies? Good meaning good coverage low deductible nothing shady, or in the small print that is kind of dishonest not expensive for a college student ? does the deductible include the monthly insurance premium? Do health insurance companies ever allow a person to have a policy through their company as well as a policy through another company? Are there any reasons you may be denied the insurance?

My friend has a brain tumor, about the size of a golf ball. He is 19. It was diagnosed about 2 months ago. Yesterday, he went to the hospital and was supposed to be there until either he died, or could find away to do something about the tumor. They sent him home because he didn't have health insurance. Can doctors do that? REJECT a person's life because they don't have health insurance? They'll just let him sit there and DIE? I thought doctors were supposed to help you. Kenan says: im scared alainaxpwn.mp3 says: why :/ Kenan says: because i'm shaking uncontrollably Kenan says: I keep getting nosebleeds, and my head feels like its going to explode Kenan says: im having a hard time trying to breathe convo.

Health Insurance?
I am asking this question for a friend of mine. I already have insurance. My friend took a pregnancy test and was surprised when it came out pos. Anyway, she doesn't have health insurance so she hasn't made a doctors appointment yet. Were she lives there is a family planning and I told her to call them and go to them. I do know they have a health insurance you can get through them and what not. But I want to find a few different insurances she can look into and find the one that best fits her and her boyfriend's needs. I have heard of some people on here talking about an insurance that can't turn you down if you are pregnant. So I was hoping you all could help me and give me the names of insurances and hopefully a website that she could check out. Thank you for your time.
--------------------
medicaid WILL NOT turn her down for already being pregnant, thats what they are there for. i would just tell her to do to her countys DHS and apply, she will more than likely walk out with insurance unless they need to verify and that can take up to like 2 weeks i think. but tell her to go to a free clinic before she goes to DHS cause i know here in Oklahoma they needed proof from a doctor or clinic saying i was pregnant. they do have insurance for pregnant women and their unborn babies. tell her i said congrats and good luck !!

do you need a ss# or be legal resident to have health insurance?

That depends on the insurance company. Some may require it, but that is solely an individual company policy, not a legal requirement.
