Why is gas, health insurance and taxes so high?

We need to control our borders and make laws that stand and are enforced. Illeagal's need to be sent back to home countries untill they follow the rules and laws.
--------------------
There's little connection between the high gas and insurance prices and illegal immigrants. It's not true that illegal immigrants are driving up health care costs or gas. No basis in fact. Taxes, it's true, are somewhat affected. When you have people that don't contribute (by paying taxes) but use resources/services, this means that rest of us have to pay more. However, the impact is a lot smaller than you'd think. Illegal immigrants, as a group, use fewer resources than citizens. And, offsetting is the fact that many products and services are CHEAPER because of cheap illegal immigrant labor.

Has ANYONE thought about this ONE item, about the current health insurance bill?

Like if it's the 'hot ticket' for the population of the United states, will the house of representatives & the executive branch be required to purchase said insurance also, or be fined & go to jail??? I mean what's good for the goose is good for the gander! right?
--------------------
It's been thought about and asked, and has been rather conveniently avoided by ALL politicians. Greed, selfishness, corruption, and political aspirations have no party bias.

Do I need health insurance for 3 days?

I am a recent college grad. My health insurance coverage under my parents plan will end on May 31st. I have a job (!!!!) with immediate health insurance coverage that will begin on June 4th. Should I get a one month short-term plan or are there provisions within the health insurance industry should something happen during this three day period? Or should I just lock myself in my apartment for the three days and take no risks?!!!
--------------------
Only if something happens during the 3 days. If it were me, I'd follow the "lock myself in the apartment" plan. Although that's not an official insurance answer, LOL.

If I get health insurance through my employer, what if any information do they have access to?

I'm assuming they don't have access to every doctor's visit, procedure, etc. Do they have access to any information, like what doctors I'm seeing and how much I'm spending through insurance? (I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan if it makes a difference.)
--------------------
Because of the HIPPA privacy laws the employer does not have any access to your private health information.

Would health insurance cover me?

Me and my family are kind of planning on me going down to Florida to stay with my aunt and uncle for the school year, because I wanted to see what it would be like to study down there. Both my parents are fine with it, but my mom says that if my health insurance doesn't cover down there, I can't. Now my question is: if I go down to Florida, of course my parents have to sign over my aunt and uncle as my legal guardians.. If they do that, can I still be covered by their (my parents) health insurance? All the details you can, please!
--------------------
health-quotes.talk4fun.net - here is my health insurance plan. As I remember they can provide such a service.

when i get into life and health insurance can you switch other policies to you?

even your own policies you have with somebody else?
--------------------
Your question is not very clear. But this may help. If someone owns a life insurance policy on you (your dad for example) when you turn 18 he can switch ownership of the policy to you. Is that what you were looking for?

I have pink eye but no health insurance, what should i do?

I want to see a doctor but I don't have any disposable income. I barely get by as it is. My eye is pink and my vision is blurring off and on though. I don't know what I should do ? Should I be worried, will it heal itself or do I need antibiotics?
--------------------
Hard to say, I think it is possible that it could heal itself. I don't know about blurring vision either. Is the eye kind of sore? Does it drain a lot? Do you wake up with it stuck shut because of the dried drainage? I know it sounds gross but these are characteristics of pink eye. I have had a light case that went away by itself but I've had bad cases the did require antibiotic drops. I don't remember having blurred vision but with excess drainage I'm sure that could be likely. I don't think you'll go blind from it but I'm not a doctor either. I would say just watch it and if it seems to get worse and not better over the next day or two then you should go in. If you have a doctor that you've seen before they may be willing to call you in a prescription for some eye drops if you explain that you just can't make it in. Even without insurance I don't think the drops are too pricey; I'd say $20 or less.

How do you get covered for health insurance in italy?

I want to know, Im an american
--------------------
We don't have insurance in Italy. There is the Azienda Sanitaria Nazionale (ASN), which pays everthing for us. If you need urgent assistance, you go to "pronto soccorso" in hospital and they must cure you, without asking you nothing. For everything else, everybody has a "medico di base": he's a family doctor, which examine you when you need, for free. Doctors are then paied by ASN (and we pay it with general taxes). There's a private sector, too. But you don't need insurance: you go and pay directly.

Do Republicans ACTUALLY think that the health insurance industry doesn't need any reform?

And if you aren't under such a delusion what GOOD reason do you have to oppose reform ?
--------------------
Republicans have been proposing reforms to health insurance, Medicare and health care for years and the Democrats have blocked most of them. The Democrats were deathly afraid they might work and they couldn't have that because GOVERNMENT CONTROL of health care has been a Democrat dream for 70 years.

My employer rolledback the date when health insurance coverage ended?

I resigned from my job on January 4th. So that my employer did not have to pay the premium for January he claimed that I resigned on December 31st. This creates an inconsistancy in my medical continuation who can I report this to as I am no nonger a speaking terms with him. I think that this is fradulant
--------------------
Do you have a pay stub showing you worked until jan. 4th? Show that to the Attorney General's office. Call the insurance office he does business with and send a copy of your pay stub

how many months must my EU health insurance card (EHIC) be in date to travel to Poland?

I am traveling to krakow in February and my card is out of date in March. I was wondering would it have to be 6 months in advance, similar to passport.
--------------------
Why do you Brits always think that your documents need to be valid 6 months in advance?? That is rubbish in Europe!! All you need is a valid passport and also only a valid EHIC to travel. There is no requirement to renew it 6 months in advance prior to travel. https://www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/frequen… .. http://ec.europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/… .. http://ec.europa.eu/eures/main.jsp?catId… ..

If I am immigrating to the UK or Canada how do I get health insurance?

Is there a plan you can buy? Appreciate your help!
--------------------
There are two issues here, really: your immigration status, and health insurance. In general, to immigrate, you must petition the correct government in order to gain a visa to enter the country. With most governments, when you are approved for immigration, you will be provided with information and phone numbers for people who can assist you with getting settled in the country. This will include information about obtaining health insurance. Within the UK, people who have the right to live in the country do not have to buy insurance. Having said that, it is very difficult to gain the right to enter the UK on a permanent basis. There are many boxes you must tick before you can enter. For more information, please see: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ Good luck!

Why do employers buy health insurance?

If people bought for themselves wouldn't they shop for better bargains? Employers can just buy anything and the employees can either quit or just accept it.
--------------------
It originally began after WWII, during a wage freeze. The only way to move people was to offer some non-salary benefit. Thus, employers began offering "major medical". Logan, there is nothing immoral about not providing healthcare to your employees. I think it's great you do, but the only immoral thing would be to not give them something you promised. You owe them only what you promise them, no more, no less. Also, they owe you their work in exchange for pay; no more, no less.

What do we need in order to qualify for getting health/life insurance?

I heard that some insruane companies wouldn't allow individuals over 60+ years old for getting an insurance, especially those who are foreigners, is this true? Why they not allow that?
--------------------
This is not true. It is a common misconception that people over age 60 can't get life or health insurance. I work with mostly retired people and have never had a problem getting life insurace coverage provided they are in good health. People over te age of 60 are not considered high risk. Rates Life insurance companies charge are based on mortality tables (likelyhood of death based on current age and life expectancy) Yor current health can have an effect on the cost of the insurance was well as your age. A person who has some health problem in many cases can still quilify for life insurance just at a rated cost (higher premium due to health). Depending on the amount of life insurance you intend to apply for will determine that requirements to quilify. Every company has different requirements based on age and amount of coverage being applied for. With many companies if you applying for over $100,000 they may require a Paramed with blood and urine (at the expense of the insurance company). In some cases they may request to see the medical records (the insurance company orders them direct form the doctor). A resting EKG is also another thing they may want and is done at the same time as the paramed (again the insurance company pays this expense). Health insurance is a little different. They focus on morbidity which is the likelyhood of illness based on your current health and family history (parents, brothers and sisters). It can me more difacult to quilify for this type of coverage if you have exsisting medical issues. If you are working with an agent, ask him or her to submit your current health to the underwritter fo a ruleing. This can help you decide which company is most likely to insure you based on your health and family history.

I have not had a period for 3 months and i have no health insurance?

I just need to know if the local health dept would be a good place to go. I just had a baby 6 months ago and was not trying to get pregnant, I have taken 2 tests one in june and one just a couple days ago, they both were negative. Would the health dept be able to tell whats going on with my body? I dont feel pregnant.
--------------------
well girlie, First I want to suggest that you go to the local health dept. They can usually give you free information about that, and possibly(if need be) give you Birth control. Keep in mind though, that you will want to request a preggers test as well, because you can always have a false negative pregnancy test! But, for the most part i wouldn't worry because you just had a baby. I went almost 4 mths without a preiod after my daughter!
