Can my wife remove me from her Health Insurance?

My wife and I have separated. We are currently living apart from each other. She is employed full-time. Recently, she cancelled my health insurance that she receives through her employer. I had heard that this is illegal. In other words, I was told that a spouse cannot remove the other spouse from his or her health insurance until there is a divorce. However, when I called the insurance company, I was told that she had removed me during "open enrollment" and that she is legally allowed to do so during that time. I am disabled and would suffer greatly if I lose my health coverage. Is what she did legal?
--------------------
It is legal. You should consult your lawyer to make sure that she was supposed to keep the coverage for you under the agreement. If she was, then it was not legal.

How much will my health insurance be?

--------------------
There is no way to know. It depends on what insurance the employer offers and what percentage of the premium you have to pay.

Why do Jewish-run companies refuse to provide health insurance for employees?

It is not a "bigoted" question, it is based on personal experience. When I was looking for a job, every time I went to a Jewish-run company, they always said that they do no offer any type of health insurance. So, why is it? Is it a religious thing? Or a stereotype (cheapness) that is actually true, in this case?
--------------------
Well, then don't apply for jobs at "Jewish-run" businesses. Did you know that UPS (United Parcel Service) DOES NOT have bennies for it's workforce that's part time?? And over 80% of UPS employees are NOT "full time".......And that's NOT a "Jewish-run" business, last time I looked at my stock dividend check......... When I worked for the County of San Diego, I DIDN'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE EITHER. City and State employees do here in CA, but NOT county employees..........go figure??? Christopher K. EDIT: And what about Tyson Foods Inc., that actually had to BUILD a temple for their Somali (political refugees) Muslim employees (they MUST pray 5 times a day), yet NO other "religious" group gets any "compensation" whatsoever. Where's THAT going???

No Health Insurance or Job but need surgery?

I recently went to the doctor and he believes I have gallbladder problems and will eventually need surgery. I lost my job and have no health insurance.What can I do?
--------------------
Apply for state or county aid. The state hospital system or local government agency should be able to lead you to the right office and the paperwork and eligibility requirements. I had to do this for surgery for a tumor, and an accident where I had a broken ankle that required surgery to put back together.

What is the difference between the Mass. health insurance law and the current one in congress?

the Mass. health insurance bill that Romney passed and Brown voted for... it seems fairly similar on the surface... mandatory insurance... and I think there were limits on who insurance companies could cut also... I'm not super familiar with the Mass. law though...
--------------------
the main sinilarity is that neither can be paid for. mass. voters already know that because their health bill is bankrupting their state...

Did health insurance companies get bailout money?

i'm trying to do some research, and i couldn't find it anywhere... but does anyone know if the health insurance companies like Aetna, Assurant, Boston Mutual, etc. got any bailout money?
--------------------
They may not have directly, but it is important to remember how interdependent the insurance industry is. They may well have offloaded some of the risk to other companies which DID receive a bailout and hence indirectly benefit from the bailout package. You'd be hard pushed to find this kind of information available publicly as it is commercially sensitive. Personally (and it's just my own, but informed, opinion) I'd say there wasn't an insurance company anywhere in the world that didn't 'benefit' to least some degree from the bailout of AIG. I use the word 'benefit' advisedly since they didn't gain anything, they just didn't 'lose' as they would have if AIG had failed.
