How will the government get the illegals to buy health insurance when they don't even know they are here?

and the illegals do all their transactions in the black market or underground?
--------------------
The government will have to create a new agency with thousands more new hires to try and track the illegals down and make sure they bought their health RX

Out of the 34 states that would challenge the federal mandate to buy health insurance, which ones are?

actually productive within their state for reform like Mass for example? And if they are against federal health reform but are not offering any reform to help their residents how can they prove this is unconstitutional as opposed to forcing people to pay for medicare?
--------------------
Medicare is a government entity paid for by tax dollars. Forcing people to buy a product from a private company is a completely different thing. Can they force you to buy a car from GM? Can they force you to buy apples to keep the price down for others who want them cheaper? There is nothing in the constitution that grants the government the authority to force you to buy somebody else's product. It is an assault on your individual liberty.

father and mother BOTH have the child covered under their separate health insurance plans?

under ca law the fathers insurance is primary due to the fact that he is older . how or could it be possible to have the the mothers insurance primary ?
--------------------
The "birthday law" isn't about AGE, it's about what day of the year the birthday comes FIRST. So clearly, dad's birthday ocurrs earlier in the year than moms. The ONLY way to get mom's policy primary, is to cancel child from dad's policy during the next open enrollment. If the transfer happened, because there wasn't a local in network hospital that could provide a specialty service (like a pediatric nephrologist), you appeal to dad's insurance to have it covered as a medical necessity on an in network basis.

I need some help. I can no longer work at one of my jobs and my new job wont provide insurance since it is part-time I need help and scared that i cant afford anything. i already cant afford student loans. is there any cheap insurance packages i can get in ct?

I need phone #'s for Health Insurance companys to assist me in getting a Chiroprator in network.?

I need provider line #'s for the departments doing credentialing for Chiropractors. I'm located in Columbus, Ohio and i need local insurance companies in this area. If anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks
--------------------
Your question is a little confusing. It almost sounds like you ARE a chiropractor (or work for one), and you'd like to become a network provider for insurance companies in the Columbus, Ohio area? Is that the case? If you're looking to become a network provider for some of the major insurance companies in Columbus, you'd want to contact: Medical Mutual of Ohio (www.medmutual.com), United Healthcare (www.unitedhealthcareonline.com - that's the site for medical providers. www.uhc.com is the general corporate site), Aetna, and Anthem BCBS. Those are some of the insurance companies with the largest membership in Columbus. The websites should have contact links for providers who are interested in applying for the network. There are also other insurers...if you're Medicare and Medcaid certified, you'll want to look into all the managed Medicare/Medicaid plans in Columbus as well. (ODJFS can provide you with a list of the Medicaid plans, you can find the Medicare plans through CMS.) That's a starting point for you, anyhow. You'll have to continue to investigate on your own. I don't have all of my contact info at home, and I can't access this site while at work. :)

In Calif., are you required to have health insurance for your child if your job offers family insurance?

1. In California, are you required to have health insurance for your child if your job offers family health insurance (medical, dental and vision) for you and your child? 2. If your job offers family health insurance (dental, medical, and vision), does the court require the noncustodial parent to have their child on their workplace's health insurance (family plan)? note: I am a noncustodial parent
--------------------
No

My best friend has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer and has NO health insurance?

She's single in her 40's and lives at home with mom and dad. No kids, never married and currently only working a part time job. Any ideas where or how she can get quality medical care in the Chicago area without necessarily having to go to Cook County Hospital ? She's a great lady, very loving and giving and she REALLY needs a break right now. Parents are elderly, low income. Thanks for any suggestions.
--------------------
Your friend might call the local branch of the American Cancer Society, for some guidance. They may have referral sources for low-income people. Or she might try a major teaching hospital, and see if they have anything to offer. Your friend probably would qualify for the state funded health insurance plan (Medicaid in Pennsylvania) for low income folks, which would allow her to go to any hospital/doctor who accepts Medicaid. Good luck to your friend.

Now that the Healthcare Bill has passed, can I drop my Health Insurance and wait for Govt to cover my family?

We are a family of 5 and I make around 70k/yr. How will this bill be beneficial to me?
--------------------
No. Even if you were in need, the government would not be providing health care to anyone. There will be a government-regulated exchange of private insurance companies. You still have to pay for health insurance.

Do you really think your employer will keep offering you a health insurance plan?

when and if the government starts to offer coverage for everyone ? I don't
--------------------
No, as an employer I am getting ready for the new taxes, I have already been forced to cut 15 percent of company, find money by cutting benefits including health insurance, it is not a small companies fault, but with the government is going to raise payroll taxes and cut out deductions we as business owners a forced to act, for our companies survival. Not to mention I as CEO get paid last, (moral thing) I have suffered as well. we must get lean to survive the till 2012.

I lost my job. How do I pay child suppot and health insurance for my kid/?

I have been paying child support for the past 6 years, never missed a payment. I do not have any income now that I lost my job. I also have a home mortgage and 2 car payments to make. I bought my house last year and with the market being so rough, I cannot sell the house without a huge loss.
--------------------
Maybe you could sell one of the cars for extra money. Or apply for health insurance through your state.

We're the only civilized country in the world that does not provide universal healthcare to our citizens.

How will letting health insurance companies operate across state lines affect healthcare?

Because now that all the credit card companies are allowed to operate from North Dakota, they're free to charge 79.9% interest rates and change the terms whenever they please. http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/cred…
--------------------
This is really a ploy so that insurance companies don't have to comply with state laws about coverage and responsibility, I live in NY, and my insurance co is in Texas, they call themselves a discount plan, not an insurance plan. That way they don't have to worry about the consumer protections I had when I had an employer provider plan. I had to fight Aetna to get an operation done in a way I needed, the State Insurance board went to bat for me and four months later I had it done and paid for by the insurance company. They actually admitted that the operation was well within their own guidelines. The reason for denial was never made clear..my guess is that they were just hoping I'd give up. I can't do that with this out of state plan. So how will it affect health care? It will put us more at the mercy of the merciless.

Where does one go if you don't have health insurance but you need to see a doctor?

This person has very little money to spare. They would need to make payments. Who can I call? They need to see a dermatologist about suspicion of skin cancer.
--------------------
call around to different dermatologist and ask questions before you show up. find out how much a consultation will be. getting insurance will get you the discount office visits and discounted prices on the service. don't think that having insurance means you pay $0 for anything you have done, its just cheaper with insurance and you have a maximum if something really bad happens.

Are cashless health insurance policies still sold by insurance companies in India &accepted by major hospitals?

I have heard there is a controversy among the insurance companies & major hospitals so cashless facilities are not available at the moment? Thanks
--------------------
HARSHfromApnapaisa : Cashless facility is offered by insurance companies to a select list of hospitals that are pre-approved by the Insurance company for this specific purpose. Every insurance company is still offering cashless facility. The controversy that you see in the media was regarding the one time removal of hospitals from the cashless network (the PSU's call them part of their Preferred Provider Network) of the PSU Insurers only unless they accepted the new rate structures put forward by the PSU Insurance companies. The smaller hospitals signed up and are back in the PSU insurers cashless network but the major hospitals are yet to accept the rates laid down by the PSU insurance companies. The matter is currently (as on September 22, 2010) being discussed at the highest levels between the hospitals and insurance companies with the health ministry also being reportedly involved. The cashless network of most private companies continue as before. In fact you can find the current cashless network of each provider on the websites of the individual insurance companies. Please note that for any company there are always some hospitals being added and deleted from the network on a regular basis. This is true for PSU companies as well as private companies. The reason for the ocntroversy was the wholesale removal of hospitals from the cashless facility by the PSU insurers.

I don't have health insurance, I researched & Im sure I have tonsillitis, is there anything I can do at home?

For the past few days I haven't been feeling well, but since I dont have insurance I try my hardest to ignore it. So I found this in my research? What are the symptoms of tonsillitis? The following are the most common symptoms for tonsillitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: *swollen, red tonsils (often coated with a yellow, gray, or white membrane) *blisters or painful ulcerated areas on the throat *sudden onset sore throat *pain with swallowing *headache *loss of appetite (dont have) *malaise (dont have) *chills *fever (dont have) *swollen and tender lymph nodes in the neck or jaw area So I am hoping that SOMEONE out there can offer some advice to me as what I can do at home and save myself the huge bill going to the doctor without insurance. Thanks in advance for any information!!!
--------------------
Drink a hot tea of dried elder flower, peppermint and yarrow throughout the day. It will ease the pain of tonsillitis. Flaxseed oil reduces pain and inflammation and will aid in recovery. These items can be found at GNC or a health food store.

Question about health insurance and maternity?

Ok, I have insurance, but me and my fiance are getting married soon and I want to get on his insurance. I am working two jobs, and would really like to quit the one that I have insurance at since I make more at the other one. My question is, that I am already pregnant, so do you think that his insurance will cover my pregnancy? I know some of you will say no because it is a pre existing condition, but my mom and several friends have told me that in the 90's most insurance companies did away with pre existing condition rules. I know that some sitll have them, which is why I am calling tom. to find out. I think that his insurance is Blue cross blue sheild. What do you guys think?
--------------------
Yes, they will cover it.

Are unions against a single payer system because if they did not get health insurance through their employer?

they would not receive the $35 an hour including benefits for stocking diapers in the baby section?
--------------------
Union workers believe they should be paid as much as Doctors and Nuclear Physicists even though most never even graduated high school this is why most unions are run by Jimmy Hoffa types in the mob. Just another version of an extortion racket

what happens if my paycheck doesn't cover my health insurance?

Hi. my husband covers our insurance and his paycheck wasn't enough to cover it because he hasn't had enough work. So, do we lose it? Do we have to go through COBRA? Most importantly, when his check goes back to normal in 2 weeks, will we be covered like normal again? Thanks. This is so important as we have a small child and an infant at home.
--------------------
It would probably be best to ask these questions of whomever handles benefits for his company. The company may or may not cover him for the difference. COBRA is very expensive so wouldn't be an option if you can't afford the usual amount...how that is handled though, I do not know. Talk to someone in Human Resources since they are the administrators of company benefits.

So if forcing people to buy health insurance is ruled constitutional by the supreme court would there be any?

limit to the powers of congress to mandate anything? That is what this will likely come down to.
--------------------
No there won't be and there is no telling what nonsense they will make mandatory to buy! This has got to be over turned! God Bless
