Does anyone know of a good health insurance?

I broke my wrist 2 years ago and ive been meaning to have it fixed. It healed cruked and the pain bothers me from time to time. Does anyone know of a good health insurance that would imedietaly cover this injury. I have no insurance and want one but dont know which one will help me the most.
--------------------
There is a lot about this situation that you didn't say...how much you can afford to pay, your age, etc. There are some excellent online sites that can help you find affordable health care. I am an independent agent, which means that I work for myself and represent many companies. But, rather than make this a sales pitch, I guess what I'd want you to know is that it is very unlikely that any health insurance provider would cover any sort of "preexisting condition", and if you were to misrepresent it, in most states, that is a crime (they call it fraud). Do you have any sort of accident policy that might pay something towards the surgery it would take to treat the injury? Some of these may not pay either, but you'd come closer to getting an accident policy to pay than you would ANY health policy after this long. Good luck, but the lesson here is, once this injury is treated, it's better to have the insurance in place BEFORE it is needed.

Do you know who doesn't have health insurance besides Americans?

The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that about 59 percent of the 11.9 million illegal aliens living in the United States have no health insurance, making up about 15 percent of the nation's uninsured. Hospitals receiving Medicaid funds must provide emergency care for anyone who needs it & as often as they need it even if they are illegal aliens.
--------------------
Most of you will think me heartless and cruel, but I feel that we need to limit the amount of publicly funded medical care we provide for illegal immigrants here in America. I truly feel for those who legitimately need our help, but we can't be responsible for all the world's needs while ignoring our own citizens. As a first responder, I've seen first hand the abuse of the medical system here in America. Citizens with health insurance wait in lines to be treated while illegals receive treatment ahead of them because of a technicality. You can't refuse service in an emergency room if the patient arrives in an ambulance, and the ambulance can't refuse service to anyone who requests it. A system designed to provide for life saving care for those who otherwise couldn't afford it has been abused to allow for free care to anyone who know how to play the system. Far too often I'm called to a home for a medical emergency only to find yet another minor, non threatening case where the patient could have easily gone to the hospital on their own and avoided the ambulance entirely, but chose to call one anyway because they knew how to play the system. Someone has to pay for that ambulance ride and it's not going to be an illegal without insurance. We must secure our boarders, if we don't we will eventually follow in the footsteps of history and succumb to the slow bleed that threatens to bleed us dry.

Is it true that the IRS will fine someone over 26 of age for not having health insurance?

Im going to be 27 and if i dont have health insurance ill be fined? thats all :) thanks!
--------------------
The IRS only wants you to pay your taxes. You got some things confused: The new law will allow your parents to cover you under their insurance until you are 26 years old if you don't have health insurance. Whether or not you will be forced to have it is still up to debate.

Does any company offer health insurance to spouses when newly employed?

It seems like all spouses are excluded from health insurance benefits when a company is hiring a new employee. Are there any companies in this year, 2006, that will give the spouse and/or family health insurance?
--------------------
I sell health insurance in NJ and I have never seen this before. It is quite common to see the business pay a percentage of the single rate and the employee would then be responsible for any additional cost.

If my parents have health insurance, does that mean they don't pay a cent?

So I was hospitalized recently for an eating disorder. I was in treatment for just under a month, and my parents said that insurance covered the whole thing. My family has reliable health insurance. I was just wondering if that meant that my parents didn't even have to pay a penny for treatment, or what? How much do people with insurance still have to pay? Thank you!
--------------------
well it depends on what type of insurance you have and what type of plan you have with that insurance some cover the whole bill but thats the really expensive ones and others pay 10-90 percent of the bill...the more you pay for your health insurance the more they cover your bill

Where can someone get health insurance?

I have friend who is a druck driver but he cannot get a job because of high blood pressure. He cannot get health insurance because he cannot get a job. Are there any programs out there for unemployed folks so they can get health insurance for medication so they can work?
--------------------
Health insurance should be available to your friend. If his high blood pressure controls his high blood pressure, he will probably be able to find coverage. You can click below for a link to the website of your state's insurance department. From there you should be able to get a list of the companies that offer health insurance in your area: https://lovetherates.com/insurance-infor… I recommend getting quotes and information from several companies. You should check: The insurance companies' networks or lists of doctors. Whether or not any pre-existing conditions are likely to be covered. The deductible. How preventative care is covered. The cost shares (deductibles, co insurance and copays.) The premium or cost.

I know some one that is lying to their health insurance company to get prescriptions. Need info!?

Everyone gets off their parents' health insurance when they are 18 or 19 years old unless they are a full time student (then you stay on your parents til 25 years old). I know someone that is 24 and she is dependent on several prescription meds. She hasn't even ever been enrolled in college.She and her mom both sign a paper saying that she is a full time student so she can stay on her moms insurance plan. what is this called?
--------------------
It's fraud. Search your conscious on whether you want to report her and they can afford the meds on her own.

McCain supporters: Does your health insurance plan offer counseling?

There is so much hate and anger spewed in here by McCain supporters. It seems to have gotten worse the closer we get to Nov. 4th. Since all you guys/gals have jobs (so you tell us), does your health insurance plan offer anger management or grief counseling? Thoughts? Signed: A concerned Obama supporter.

All this hate going on. Im sure they need it.

When do we get our new health insurance cards?This week or next?

Okay now that the health care bill has passed,when can we start to use it?Ill be able to get things checked now that I couldn't before.Will the goverment start mailing our new health insurance cards out this week?Aren't you happy?I sure am.This is the best Congress ever!
--------------------
The final health care bill hasn't been passed yet. What happened last night is that the Senate passed their bill. We now have two bills that need to be merged into one bill, one from the House and one from the Senate. This is the closest we've ever come to overhauling our health care system and providing health care insurance coverage to most of Americans. Kudos to President Obama.

Federal tax exemption for health insurance?

What does it mean when there is "federal tax exemption for health insurance".. in simple words so i can understand clearly.. thank you.
--------------------
Health insurance premiums are not taxed at all under the following situations: 1. The taxpayer is employed and pays his health insurance premiums out of his pay before he pays taxes on his pay. This is "pre-tax". 2. The taxpayer is self-employed and pays health insurance out of his net profits. But there is no general exemption from federal tax for health insurance premiums.

Will my health insurance still cover me if I get my GED?

I'm still covered under my dads health insurance which I'll still be covered as long as I'm going to school. So if I go the the local tech college and work on getting my GED will I still be covered under my dads insurance?
--------------------
The way the current system works, you have to be under 19, OR a full time, enrolled student. "working on" your GED doesn't count.

Since this would break privacy statutes, I don't believe there is anyway you can obtain this information. Even insurance companies now mail out privacy statements to tell you that your information is never shared.

So now have health care insurance is bad?

First we hear about how horrible it is that people don't have health insurance.. But now Obama wants to tax people for having it?
--------------------
Yes. It's bad because it is not government insurance. It is only bad to have private insurance. You don't hear anyone wanting to tax those who receive medicare, medicaid, or SCHIP (if the people on SCHIP don't smoke, they don't pay for this benefit). No one wants to tax the people in our jails and prisons for their medical benefits. Only those who work and have the gall to have private insurance. Shame on the people who are not on governmental medical programs. How could they ever think they could get away with having a private insurance without being punished for being the self-responsible people that they are? It was a horrible idea when McCain brought up the idea but now times are different. This administration will say that they are "reaching across the aisle" by doing this. It will be the Republicans' fault. Actually, the idea fits in very will to get all of the American public to "see the light" and embrace total government health insurance. Why would anyone want to pay for the national health care system through taxes, pay their portion of private insurance costs, and then be taxed extra for having that private insurance? Using Kiran's example, that would be about $1,500 a year. What's the harm in paying the government an extra $1,500 a year in taxes? It's a lot of harm to me, but maybe I'm different than most people.

When you sign up for health insurance through an employer do they ask what previous health insurance you had?

will you need to give them the name of the previous health insurance company you had?

Typically they don't ask you for any information about past companies or past health issues for an employer sponsored policy

Family health insurance plan or individual health insurance plans for each person?

I am quoting health coverage in Kansas for my family since we do not get this from an employer. My agent suggested that each family member have a separate insurance plan instead of one family plan to cut costs. I have never heard of doing this? Any comments or suggestions? Thanks
--------------------
Usually, it would make more sense to have everyone one the same plan. However, I have heard of circumstances where some members of the family have a separate policy, because of one family member's health issue. The healthy family members can stay on a lower premium policy, while the family member with the health complication goes on their own policy. It really just depends on the circumstances involved. Make sure to get quotes for each scenario, so that you can make a fully informed decision.

Why do people think the insurance companies are lying when they say the Baucus health care bill will raise?

the cost of health insurance for Americans? The Baucus bill requires all future health insurance policies to include: Cover all preexisting conditions. No life time cap on claims. All doctors office visits. Dental coverage on all policies. All prescriptions included. All mental health issues. How can Liberals gloss over the fact that that's going to make health insurance more expensive? Just saying the insurance companies make too much money already is not going to change reality.
--------------------
They wrote the bill. It's a corporate welfare check. We need to get rid of the private insurance industry altogether and institute single-payer.

Will I be covered with health insurance during Army BCT?

I know I signed up for the max life insurance, how does health insurance work? Are you automatically covered while on active duty for training (I'm National Guard) or do I need to sign up for Tri-Care?
--------------------
It's my understanding that you'll ONLY be covered by Tricare while you're on active duty orders for the Federal Gov't...not State Call-Ups. But, talk to your National Guard recruiter or someone with your unit to be sure. I don't know, nor do I think, you can carry Tricare when you're not on orders. As far at the life insurance goes...that's a totally different ball game. You're paying for a service and it's guranteed. But, with health insurance you're not paying for anything.
