Was requiring people to purchase health care insurance a socialist idea when the Republicans first invented it?

..back in 1993, as an alternative to Bill Clinton's health care proposals? Or did it become "socialist" only after Obama endorsed it? http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/…
--------------------
well, anything obama touches is abhorrent to conservatives, so maybe he should try to ban abortion, just so they all become pro-choice.

People who refuse to purchse health care insurance already lose tax deductions, lets fine them on top of that?

One way or another, lets coerce these individuals into supporting greedy insurance companies. The CEOs want more private jets, yachts and villas. Please call Barack Hussein Obama on behalf on insurance CEOs and demand steeper fines on these irresponsible individuals who hold onto their wallets and refuse to enrich the rich.
--------------------
why ? So that we can keep paying their bills because they use the Emergency Room as their regular Doctors office ? People without insurance are waiting until they have a health Emergency and then we the tax payers get stuck with the very high E.R. bill. No Thanks !

How can we justify this health care bill for mandated health insurance, when Nixon said, "The less health care?

they [HMOs like Kaiser Permanente] give, the more money they make?" So...this is an admission that this system is a scam. So why does government want to mandate such a system?
--------------------
Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally. ** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts. ** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN). ** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?) ** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees. ** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. ** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception. ** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counceling.) ** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. HAD ENOUGH???? "Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future." Verify here! http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-Bill…

What is a affordable health insurance that covers DENTAL?

or at least some of the cost?
--------------------
Most likely your most affordable, best coverage plan will be one that an employer offers. If this is not an option for you, an alternative to health insurance would be a discount health and/or dental plan. I only have personal experience with Ameriplan, but I have located a website with information about other discount health plans. I will list both below as sources. A discount health plan often has more affordable monthly premiums than health insurance.

Do You Support Obama's Giving Millions Of Illegal Immigrants Health Insurance?

And U.S Drivers licenses? It almost like Obama is inviting the rest of the world to move to America- "come on over and live in the U.S.A we will give you anything you need! ON US! You won't even have to pay any taxes!"

H#LL NO! They need to be deported immediately!

Where can a single mother with 2 kids (21 18) get low cost health insurance?

My parents have recently divorced. My father is moving back to Ireland and has to quit his job. My mother, brother, and I were covered under his insurance. But once he leaves the country our insurance will cease. My mother works at home and does not make very much money. We are looking for coverage for the three of us that is not expensive and very low cost as we do not have the means to afford much. We only need it for about a year as I will be graduating and teaching full time as a NYC teacher by next September. *My brother is legally blind, but other than that there are no serious health issues and none of us are tobacco users. *We are hoping to get insurance that would cover quality licensed professionals. *We understand in this economy you get what you pay for, But we honestly do not have much. We are hoping for something affordable without being skimmped on coverage. Thanks :-)
--------------------
Well, those two kids are technically adults. You'd need to go to a local agent, to get quotes. If you want a low deductible plan, it's probably going to cost about $1200 a month, IF your mom is perfectly healthy, and no one is overweight. To get a much cheaper rate, you have to agree to pay the first $5,000 or so out of pocket, in medical expenses, before the insurance kicks in. Obviously, if anyone has anything already wrong with them, the insurance will either most likely not cover it, or they'll refuse to write you at all. Best thing to do, will be for your mom to get a 'real' job, where she can get group health insurance through her employer. After YOU are employed, that won't help your mom or brother, as YOU won't be able to add either of them to YOUR insurance.

Why does McCain wish to tax people on the amount of health insurance that is paid by their employer?

Do you agree with this plan?
--------------------
Yes he does. And I for the life of me do not get it. This will be the first time EVER that people get taxed on health insurance. I can not even imagine this!

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with no health insurance, what can I do?

I do not even know where to start? I have researched online and read books, but still nothing helps. The father and I are not married. He is a colonel in the USAF. I would think the military would cover the baby? Any advice on insurance will help!!!

r we working mainly to pay our taxes and health insurance that won't pay anything. Is it everyman for him self

I see no compassion for people who need medical treatment. It's all about money. I really think that everyone should be entitled to free health care, and free education. They are spending billions on things we don't need. If we can spend so much on war, and pay for those inmates to get free lawyers, why can't they pay for free education and free health care? I know many would say this is foolish and where would the money come from, but where is the money coming from for everything else?
--------------------
You have a choice of different insurance companies. You need to stand on your own feet, and help others if you can.

Can someone show me in the new health insurance bill exactly where it says abortions will or can be covered?

One side said it did not exist, but the other side (Rep. Stupak, etc. and many Republicans) insisted the language be changed to state that abortions were not covered. The compromise was the executive order that the president signed today. So, what does it say in the bill to cause such confusion. I know many lied about what was in the bill (Palin and Death Panels), but what about abortion? Thanks. Anna
--------------------
Abortions will not be funded, period. You can thank the Republicans and their classic fear-based propaganda campaigns for this stupid misconception.

Okay I'm applying for a job & I'm 15 and I have like health insurance because of my parents like blue cross

This is kinda dumb. Hahaha. It asked me if I need health insurance coverage or whatever, so I should check no because I'm like on my parents plan or whatever right?
--------------------
Right, you are already covered. If you check yes, the employer could take some of your pay to pay for health insurance. That leaves you less money. This is what happens to your parents. Very few companies pay the full cost of health insurance. Here's the problem, if you are already covered by one insurance plan, the second plan will not pay for your health expenses. even if you are paying premiums. They will say the other plan is responsible. So you are literally paying for nothing.

Does anyone know where I can get Health Insurance for that covers pre-existing conditions?

Been looking for awhile and I'd appreciate help. I just moved to TEXAS for my hubby new job and I need health ins. for my son , who was dianosed with a tuberous scelosis Thank ahead of time
--------------------
There are at least four options available to you: 1) The TX Health Insurance Risk Pool: this is a "high risk pool" established by TX to cover uninsurable Texans. Many states have similar high risk pools. Here's a link: http://www.txhealthpool.com/ 2) The Texas Childrens Health Insurance Plan: this is NOT Medical Assistance (Medicaid); it's for working families that do not have insurance covering their children. http://www.texaschildrenshealthplan.org/… 3) If you family's income is very low, your child may be enrolled in the Texas Medical Assistance program. http://www.texaschildrenshealthplan.org/… 4) As one answerer pointed out, you may be able to cover your child through your husband's employer plan, if there is one and if it covers dependents (not all do). You may also want to contact the Texas Department of Insurance to see if there are any other options: (800)252-3439. I hope this helps.

Who offers the best animal health insurance??

I'am wondering who has pet insurance? I'am looking for insurance for my dog. I want to pick a good one, there are so many hidden things they dont tell you so any feedback would be great, thanks!!
--------------------
Hi Kristy First of all, a disclaimer: I work for Embrace Pet Insurance in Cleveland, Ohio. There are many different shapes and sizes of pet insurance plans in the US. Some pet parents look at pet insurance as a way of paying for vaccinations, office visits, spaying/neutering, and other everyday things. Other pet parents though look at pet insurance as a way of protecting against high veterinary bills and "economic euthanasia." The second group - those who look at pet insurance as more like "catastrophic" coverage - are going to get better value out of pet insurance than the first group. To understand why you have to go back to first principles: what is insurance for? Insurance is for the unexpected, expensive things that can happen. Routine care is neither unexpected nor, in most cases, is it expensive. Insurance doesn't work properly when applied to routine care, the economics get out of whack and you - the pet parent - end up paying for this in the form of higher premiums than necessary. Another common thing we find is that pet parents think of pet insurance as a form of savings. No insurance product is a form of savings really. Insurance is just a transfer of risk from you to the insurance company. Looked at in this way you can see that pet insurance is not going to save you money, you buy it because you want peace of mind and because you want to be able to pursue any course of treatment to help your pet if, God forbid, something should happen. So now to your specific question: what is "good" pet insurance? The answer is a plan that protects your pet against all of the nasty, expensive stuff that you can't plan for. Many pet insurance plans offer this to one degree or another but there are some 'gotchas' that you should be aware of. For example, I always recommend that pet parents ask the following questions: 1. Does the plan cover congenital and hereditary diseases? You want these covered, even for mixed breeds, because sometimes it's not clear what is and isn't hereditary and you want to know when you claim that this sort of thing will be covered. Embrace Pet Insurance and other companies cover congenital conditions provided they are not pre-existing when you sign up. 2. Does the plan cover chronic and recurring illnesses? Some plans consider things that happened in your first year of coverage to be pre-existing in the second year. 3. What is and is not covered? Is it clearly stated on the company's website or over the phone? The last thing you want is to make a claim and only later find out that the company considers your condition not covered. 4. Are there per-incident limits that effectively cap the amount you could receive back? For example, some plans have a $3,000 per-incident limit. If you had a claim for $5,000 with one of these plans then the most you would get back would be $3,000. 5. What are the rules around pre-existing conditions? Are they excluded permanently or temporarily? 6. How long does the company take to pay claims? 7. Does the plan reimburse claims based on a benefit schedule or the actual veterinary bill? If you choose a plan with a benefit schedule you should understand that you may not get very much money back as the benefit schedule can cap your reimbursement for certain diagnoses at amounts less than you'll commonly find, especially in metro areas. Try to find a plan that reimburses you based on your actual veterinary bill or a "usual, customary, & reasonable" (UCR) table. One thing I encourage all pet parents who are interested in pet insurance to do is read reviews and testimonials from real customers at http://www.PetInsuranceReview.com . This is a good website to get the skinny on every plan out there. So armed with these questions and by doing some homework of your own, you can make an informed choice and get a plan that's right for you and your pet. Good luck!
