The Supreme Court ruling in the first answer is COMPLETELY WRONG! People 17 and over have the rights. Anyone under the age of 17 needs parental consent. ANYTHING...ANYONE. Parents have the rights to know of certain things regarding children.

Is there a good PPO health insurance provider that is known to be better value for an individual.?
After examining the usual suspects (Nationwide, HealthNet, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Pacificare) I find that the plans are almost identical. PPOs with $4000/5000 deductable or out of pocket maximum, 100% coinsurance etc for example, cost almost the same from each provider. What about WallMart, Costco, Kaiser ??? is there something I should know?
--------------------
A lot will depend on where you live, but in general, at least in California, you will want to look at which carrier is used by the largest number of doctors in your area. Blue Cross tends to be accepted by most doctors in California. A PPO is only as good as the doctors who accept it, so a cheaper one is not necessarily a good deal. You might find cheaper plans, but if no doctors accept it, it's worthless. The other plans you mentioned are good too. Find out what your personal doctor and the hospital near you use, and if everything else is equal, you know which plan to go with. Wishing you good health, Kim, a former life/health ins. agent

What is the best health care insurance for an 18 year old?
-good insurance companies -what i will be paying -your feedback Thank You!
--------------------
see if your employer offers an HSA or MSA. these are medical savings accounts that you can put money into each pay period. if you pay for regular health insurance the money you pay goes for the premium each month, like social security, you'll never see your money again. if you have an HSA, the money you contribute goes into a special checking account, which you have access to 24/7 and can use it for doctor visits, pharmacy and over the counter meds. at 18, if you are healthy, it is a waste of money to give your money away to an insurance company. with an HSA, any money you put in, you keep, FOREVER. unless of course you get sick, then its there if you need it

How many of my Y!A users have good medical care coverage i.e. health insurance?
I'm very thankful I have some decent health insurance. HMOs suck but at least I have something.
--------------------
We have the best coverage the company offers, but I still had to pay $3200 of the costs of a gall bladder removal. How could a poor person without coverage possibly afford such a commonly-needed procedure?

Imputed income from domestic partnership health insurance?
I have imputed income on my pay stubs that amount to $5000/year. It is added on to my check so they can tax it then it is deducted back off. This $5000 is added into box 1 on my w-2. Why is it included here when I haven't actually received the money? Its kind of a bummer realizing my tax return could be $1000 more without this extra $5000 added on.
