If Republicans think going to the emergency room is enough for health care why do they have insurance?

The fact is, health insurance provides better long term care with your insurance company picking up much of the cost.

I think it's ok for people to live in an apartment even though I live in a house. Do you wanna buy everyone a house?

Can health insurance company drop you if you making COBRA payments on time?

My sister is in a nursing home. I have been paying her COBRA since December. The nursing home called and "warned" us to find a medicaid facility because her health insurance will probably drop her. Why?
--------------------
I do not believe this is a COBRA question but an allowed coverage situation. Medical insurance covers treatment expenses, such as for physical therapy or other skilled care when a person is in a nursing home, as long as they are making continuous improvement. When a person is no longer improving but still needs assistance this is called custodial care and is not covered by medical insurance or Medicare.

Do you think the health insurance bill will become law?

Simple question. and you notice i called it health insurance rather than heath care as it has almost nothing to do with the enhancement of care, but rather how to pay for it, or more specifically, make those who don't want or need it pay for those who do.
--------------------
I think so, but what gets passed will be so watered down as to be toothless. At least it is a start, and I hope we can improve on it from there. You can bet the conservatives will continue doing all they can to keep it from passing, but I have a strong hunch Obama will do all he can to get it to pass. ##

why do people get health insurance if if is such a bad deal? everyone complains that they rip them off and?

dont cover conditions that they were supposed to cover. so wouldnt it make more sense to not get health insurance and just save your own money?
--------------------
I've never had problems with my health insurance, they've always paid up. My husband is in and out of the hospital and we pay only what the plan specifies---200 ded and 20% up to $5000. I had an even better plan but had to change now that I live in one state and my family in another.

I live in Philadelphia and am pregnant. I do not health health insurance but?

While I was in the emergency room a lady came to my room and said I can get government insurance. All I had to do was mail in some pay stubs. I did all of that then someone else called from the hospital & said they have no record of anyone talking to me or the form I mailed in. Im already 4 months pregnant and need health insurance. What do I do?

What percentage of both private and public health care spending is spent on health insurance?

What percentage of both private and public health care spending is spent on health insurance provided by small business employers?
--------------------
I don't think anyone's narrowed it down that far - especially because the definition of "small business" isn't standardized. I can tell you, health spending is about 18% of our economy.

Can a health insurance company cancel coverage on a college student going to school in NY, if they live in NJ?

I found out my fathers health insurance company canceled my health coverage. I was under the impression that there was a law on the books in New Jersey that said health insurance companies could not drop full time students.
--------------------
Health insurance can be very tricky. Since I live in Georgia I'm not familiar with the New Jersey regulations, so I suggest you call a nearby health insurance agent. http://www.americaschoicetoday.com/Health-Insurance.html They will be able to assist you.
