How do you become a medical technician? How is the pay? Hours? Do you get health insurance?

I thought I would want to be a Nurse's Technician, but I don't really want to deal with vomit or stool. This has come out of the blue. I'm 30 and thought I wanted to be a teacher. I know there are many different types of techs. Is one more in demand than others? Is one easier? Any information would be appreciated. I know nothing about the medical field.

Study to be an ultrasound technician. They get to play with men's testicles all day. Also if you're an x-ray tech you can "accidentally" see many penises everyday. Doesn't that sound like a great job?

If Obama forces you to buy health insurance, and you simply can't afford it, what will happen?

I am up to my earlobes in debt, and if another bill is laid on me, I'll collapse. Are YOU gonna pay for my Bacon Cheeseburger addiction?
--------------------
It will probably be paid for out of all of our paychecks, just like it is now, thus spreading the cost over millions of consumers. Also, not all of us have diseases that are artery-clogging or otherwise damaging to our health so we won't all need quadruple bypasses. At least, not all at once, so there's a savings there. The proposed plan that I favor encourages preventive maintenance so that, hopefully, your cheeseburger habit won't catch up to our wallets and your heart. Lay off the burgers, Fatty. Your loved ones want you around for a long time.

how do i get health insurance?

well i'm over 18 and have lots of money in the bank of my own and i'm continually making lots of money. i heard that if you make a lot of money and you have lots of it in the bank, then you can't get health insurance. you gotta pay for medical treatments or if you go to a clinic. and its really expensive. is there a way i can get health insurance?
--------------------
see this http://gsx1.com/InsuranceComparison.html it's one form to get a number of quotes from different insurers. It's free and a big time saver, these are all the main American insurers competing to get your business so you are bound to find something that suits you, if it works out remember my points please :)

Wheeled Walkers Covered By Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Insurance? Anyone know Where I Can Get One?

My grandma needs one, but im not sure how to find one that accepts health insurance (Blue cross, blue shield).
--------------------
Call BC/BS and they will give you a Durable Medical Equipment company that allows the insurance. Not that hard. Also to the poster that said that everyone takes BC/BS is wrong. My company doesn't. My company also doesn't take Medicare anymore. Those two insurances are very hard to get money out of, so you may have a hard time finding someone.

Anyone ever switch health insurance while pregnant?

Only in the good ol USA do we have to stress about how in the world we're going to afford medical bills.. I have United Healthcare right now but they do not offer maternity coverage at all unless Im on a group plan. That is not an option for me because my work doesn't offer insurance. I've checked into BCBS but would they consider being pregnant a "pre-existing condition". I have a call in to a rep and am waiting for a call back but I'm just looking for advice or experiences pleeease. Thanks
--------------------
This lovely country we live in! Most won't let you, since they see it as a 'pre-existing condition' (so dumb!) I didn't have any when i got pregnant and my husbands insurance wouldn't let me switch on to his. So i go to a birthing center and pay out of pocket...which is cheaper than insurance :)

I have Cobra health insurance I also enrolled my family in Group coverage through my wife's Company?

My wife is seriously ill will my cobra insurance pay for the balance as my wife's primary coverage is not very good
--------------------
If your wife is covered on BOTH your COBRA plan AND her group health insurance, then yes, it will work as dual coverage. However, if she is not on your COBRA plan, then she gets no help from your insurance. You CAN have both COBRA and Group Medical, it is just a prohibitively expensive idea, in most cases. I hope your wife recovers well, swiftly and safely.
