Why do liberals keep on attacking Private Health Insurance?

If you took ONE YEAR of all the Private Health Insurance Companies in America gave that one year of Profits to buy all Americans health insurance it would last only TWO DAYS! Their Profits have NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LIBERAL POLITICIANS! They are only using you guys to help them DESTROY the Private Sector so they can CONTROL IT ALL! WAKE UP WILL YOU? PLEASE? BEFORE ITS TOO LATE?
--------------------
Please, wake up. Private insurance companies are not the friends of health care and they could care less if someone has health care. They are a bunch of phonies who set up business under the guise of non profit. The only ones who should be making a profit from medical care are the medical practitioners not the paper pushing statistic crunchers. Plain and simple they are useless middlemen who do no better or no worse than medicare. If you are lucky to have good insurance you do not notice the problem because you pay them and they do what they need to do. If you do not have good insurance or have some sort of pre-exisitng problem, you are sunk. The problem that Americans have is that we have not made up our minds as to whether we believe that the right to have health care is a right of citizenship. Right now our insurance system deems it as a privilege for those who can afford it. The hardcore conservatives might as well just say it - only those who can afford insurance have the right to life. Lets not beat around the bush any more. Call it what it is.

Has Obama's health care plan for medical insurance kicked in yet?

I really want to drop a Spanish class I'm taking at a community college because I was only taking it to have 12 units to be a full-time student, and I only wanted to be a full-time student because otherwise I wouldn't be covered under my mom's health care plan. But if Obama's health care reform thing has kicked in, where people are covered under their parents' health insurance until they're 26, I don't need it. So has it started yet? Authoritative links as proof are greatly appreciated.
--------------------
For most people, no, not yet. The plan should be in full effect by 2014. Right now, 2 important things have changed. Kids up to age 26 are able to stay insured on their parents' plans. They do NOT have to be living with them or dependents. They can even be married, just have no health insurance. The second thing that has happened is that now children cannot be denied insurance for pre-existing conditions. It is hard to wait for the other things to happen. I think when everyone is able to have access to affordable insurance, people will be happier about it. Think they will find out it is not as bad as it is being made out to be. Plus, as it begins, if there are things wrong with it, it can be modified. We have to all have access to health care that doesn't destroy us financially. For you, you can stay on your mom's plan now. You do not have to be in school.

Want to buy Health Insurance for Green card holders senior citizen parents?

We want to buy /purchase Health Insurance for Green card holders senior citizen parents. Can anybody please help with some good Health Insurance Agencies/companies/policy suggestions . Also wanted to know approximately what will it cost us. Father is 67 year old . and mother is 60 year old . Please advise. Thanks to all in advance
--------------------
If your father has lived in the U.S. for five years, he should be eligible for Medicare. He might have to pay a premium, though. The Medicare website says: "You will be eligible to apply for Medicare if you have paid into Social Security for at least 10 years or you are eligible to receive Social Security benefits on your spouse's earnings. If you do not meet these requirements, you can still get Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) by paying a monthly premium if you are a citizen or a lawfully admitted alien who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. Also, anyone who is age 65 and a citizen or a lawfully admitted alien with five years of residency in the United States can sign up for Medicare Part B medical insurance and pay a monthly premium." Since your father did not sign up during the initial enrollment period at age 65, he will have to wait until the next General Enrollment Period, which is between January 1 and March 31 each year. There are exceptions to this, so contact Medicare. Your mother will not be eligible for Medicare until she reaches 65. The easiest thing to do for her is to log on to a website like http://www.healthinsurancewiz.com and fill out a form requesting a quote. Her info will be sent to a health insurance broker who will contact her. A broker works with several health insurance companies, and can find the best deal. Brokers need referrals and a good reputation to stay in business, so they only work with reputable companies. There is no charge for the service and no obligation to buy.

Why Will Companies Keep Offering Health Insurance?

Why Will Companies Keep Offering Health Insurance? Who here believes that if Universal Health Benefits are offered through the US government to all US citizens that companies and employers will continue to offer health insurance benefits to their employees as a payroll/benefits expense. Do you really believe companies will continue to pay such a large amount of overhead when they can simply stop offering those benefits and let the government program take over? What employer in their right mind would keep dishing out $500 a month per employee when the government is begging to take that system over? If you think "Yes", please tell me why.
--------------------
Well, some particularly prosperous employers, in businesses that demand certain high-demand skills, would certainly still offer superior health benefits (as well as stock options and multimillion dollar bonuses) to those sorts of employees. Asside from that, though, you could expect most employers to cut costs by eliminating health benefits on the theory that the government will pick it up. Currently, health insurance is a highly desireable benefit, so much so that many people take a specific job /just/ to get health insurance, even if the pay is substantially lower than another job without insurance. There are several reasons. 1) Many people who have 'pre existing conditions' can't get affordable health insurance outside a 'group' plan like that offered by an employer, 2) Many people have lived thier whole lives insured, and virtually panic without insurance, since they simply don't understand how to make health care decisions and manage thier own health care expenses, 3) (and this is a biggie), employer-provided health insurance is automatically deducted, pre-tax. It's not just a 'deduction' (you can deduct a lot of your medical expenses, but it's complicated, and you don't get to deduct all of them), but an off-the-top exclusion. It's income you never have to report, at all.
