Voluntary health insurance: you voluntarily choose to have other people pay your bills?

Why do those who are pro-insurance seem to forget that other people are paying off their medical bills through their premiums? What happened to conservatives paying their own way in life? Hey republicans and conservatives: how about you pay your medical bills and I'll pay mine, and we do away with insurance.
--------------------
It might indeed have been better if things had remained that way. Health insurance was, after all, quite unusual before World War II. Two of the effects of the expanding insurance industry have been (1) costs have outstripped the rate of inflation by a good margin and (2) philanthropy, with the wealthy donating entire hospitals at times, has essentially disappeared from the scene. I don't quite see how the clock could be turned back, though.

Is it constitutional for the Federal Government to mandate that all individuals purchase health insurance?

This provision of the health care bill seems unsupportable to me. I don't know what constitutional authority such a requirement would be enacted under.
--------------------
no, and neither is providing healthcare to the american people. but since precedent has been set, there may not even be recourse in the SCOTUS now to stop this.

Do you really believe republican leaders are opposed to forcing Americans to buy health insurance?

After engineering the health care industry, this is their dream come true. And when people complain, they can blame it on Democrats. Are you fooled by their phony "opposition"?
--------------------
HUH? You obviously have not read the bill. Hell yes they are opposed...to the bill... Yes they are opposed to forcing folks to pay for your insurance...had nothing to do with them buying insurance it is paying for YOU to have free insurance..and making them pay for others to get the same insurance but not pay the same..it is SOCIALISM.. It is all the Government agencies created..the bloated convoluted system that will force out private insurance.. You do not know anything... You have not read the bill... It is about giving UNIONS a pass on healthcare (for votes) and letting the taxpayer foot the bill. You really don't know about the bill it is about allowing Muslims to not have to buy health insurance... yea you sure did not know that now did you?

Can health insurance (no dental) cover braces in some cases?

For example, central and lateral incisors are crowded. Both have moved a significant amount, causing a change in the bite (can basically not use the front teeth to bite). In something so extreme, can health insurance cover the braces needed to repair?

Is medicade considered group or individual health insurance?

I am pregnant and was enrolled in Medicade. Late in 2007, I started a new job, and now I am not qualified to remain in Medicade because of my increased income. I have obtained an Bluecross Blueshield insurance policy, but I am worried that they will treat the pregnancy as a pre-existing condition and I would not be protected under HIPAA. Please help.
--------------------
Pregnancy cannot be included as a pre-existing condition on a group policy, even if you didn't have any previous coverage, so as long as your new policy includes maternity coverage you will be covered.

Do you know of a good health insurance plan?

I need to find a plan that is affordable outside a group plan or is there a group plan available to me? I do not want the discount card type of plan I want an actual insurance policy accepted by many doctors and hospitals. 80/20 coverage is great with annual deductible choices.
--------------------
nope! all health insurance plans are a rip of! move to canada

What do you think of being forced by government to buy health insurance at exhorbitant premiums?

this is great for insurance companies, but is it change you can believe in? How will you thank Obama and Democrats in Washington DC (since the are the ones who control govt and did in fact promise change) for selling your soul to insurance companies? I am not a Republican. I am just someone who sees the reality of what is happening to the american people and who believes that both Democrats and Republicans are following an anti american citizen agenda..
--------------------
It amounts to a regressive tax that is not called a tax and not paid directly to the government. Politicians like the idea because it won't impact the budget, but they will still get to use your money for their purposes. Financially, I think it will mean disaster for many families.
