Where can I find out about the health insurance benefits the members of U.S. Congress receive?

Is there a website? Exactly what kind of coverage do they receive and what are the premiums?
--------------------
Members of Congress receive their health benefits under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) which is administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). You can find out more by going to this site: http://www.opm.gov/insure/health/

Why do women have to pay more than men for health insurance?

Isn't that very sexist?
--------------------
You don't have a problem with young men having to pay way more for auto insurance than women, do you? Isn't that also sexist? No sense being a hypocrite, so don't worry about health insurance -- there is a reason for it, just as there is a reason for boys paying more for car insurance.

I don't have health insurance/ would like to know if there are any cheap ways to visit doctors if i pay cash?

Paying a 140 bucks a visit plus paying any other tests during the visit just cost me too much until my job starts paying part of my health insurance. any suggestions are appreciated
--------------------
Yeah, the medical community is organized crime. Sometimes if you tell them you don't have insurance, you can get a reduced rate. Don't go to a walk in clinic, they tend to be pretty pricey. Try a "medical group" or HMO. You might not get the best care in the world, but it may be cheaper.

does your sgli servicemember group life insurance include health insurance it says?

it include traumatic injury protection is that health insurance if so how do i prove i got this when i go to the hospital i got a check for 166 and the took out 56
--------------------
no TRICARE is the health insurance. Traumatic injury is long term disability insurance.. such as if you are permanently incapacitated and can no longer care for yourself.. that insurance would help cover things like Rehab, assisted living facilities and equipment.

I want to move to the UK and I need health insurance and a job plus a church. Help PLEASE!?

I am 24 going on 25 and I have two small children and a wife. We want to move to the UK and live and work. We believe that our children and us as well would have a better life there. I know it is tough but the economy here is not the best and I am tired of fighting to have a life and I want to see where my family came from. Which is England, Scotland, and Ireland. If any one can help with suggestions and guidance then that would be great.
--------------------
why do you want to move to the UK? I live in Ireland, am from South America, and by no means would live in the UK. Expensive country where everything is a rip-off, life is so difficult, highly intrusive government where every step you take is followed by CCTV cameras, speed cameras, etc. You have to bed to open a bank account. Horrible place to grow children, horrible TV, cigarette-alcohol-greasy food culture. 35 years paying for a mortgage. VIOLENCE. Is that what you want for your life and your family's? I think Ireland is bad enough and dying to leave to go to some country in Europe. The only good thing about UK and Ireland is jobs and money, but the standard of living decreases year after year. There are better places: Switzerland, Luxembourg, Austria, etc.

After how many hours per day/week are retail businesses required to pay health insurance for employees?

Need the answer for a story I'm writing - thanks in advance
--------------------
Businesses are not required to pay health insurance for employees.Some businesses offer the insurance but they are not required to.Company paid insurance is just an added benefit for employees and some companies pay the full amount while others require you to pay the full amount. I work in the medical field and even my employer requires us to pay the full premium which is a few hundred dollars every 2 weeks and i pay even more to add the family.

Gov't needs to mandate everyone to buy their own health insurance?

Everyone including the poor. I think everyone who buy health insurance, each should get a card... when they go buy stuff, everything will be cheaper. And those who don't have health insurance will have to buy things twice as much. Like for example... sodas, they will have to pay $3 for a can of coca cola. $10 for a pack of ciggarettes.
--------------------
Well if the administration gets their way a person who decides NOT to carry health insurance will pay a fine, from what I understand it will be 2.5% of that person's gross income.

I have a job, so Obama will charge me or my employer for health insurance, how will they get money from others?

you know, those who work 'outside the law' on a cash basis, the ones who don't have an employer?
--------------------
You pay based on what you make. If you don't show the govern. your income then you get free healthcare.

Why should people that choose to not work have their health insurance paid by taxpayers?

So we are going to have nationalized health care for the unproductive? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRY7Wvim8…
--------------------
Because Barry Soetoro says so...and his minions bow down and obey.

why not use medicaid for public health insurance?

does it make sense to simply use the existing medicaid system, and extend its reach to include uninsured americans, instead of starting up a whole new system?
--------------------
Well, I have dealt with medicaid before. It is not easy. It is run VERY inefficiently, has a VERY limited network and super huge waiting lists for almost every service that is not general practice. It sounds like a good idea, though I think they need to get rid of the HMO's that are involved with it. They should also speed up the process to pay the doctors for their services. It needs some serious work done to it, but I think it could work.
