Put some salt in there and wrap it up with sandpaper. To keep your mind off of that pain, take some razor wire and nestle that deeply betwixt your buttocks. For the love of all that is holy, to hell with the health care bill, get you monkey *** to hospital stat!

Do group health insurance plans provide for covering costs of auto personal injury after auto ins PIP pays out?
Do group health insurance plans typically cover balances remaining for treatment related to automobile accidents after auto insurance personal injury protection has paid its maximum benefit?
--------------------
Usually not. You may have to sue the person that caused to accident.

Would you drop your expensive health insurance when Obama finds a less expensive way to insure us all?
Or will you insist a good deal is socialist as you always do before you fact check?
--------------------
I quit paying the "health" insurance companies many years ago - and under the republican plan, if I get really sick I die like a dog in a ditch. Shouldn't be called "health" insurance - perhaps it should be "money" insurance - as it insures that the insurance companies get your money - and you get to pay a LOT of insurance agents' salaries! So ya - I could do with a little "socialist".

I work at Brookshires and I wanted to know if I can put my mother in my health insurance plan?
Well my cuestion is if I can use my work insurance plan to cover my mother. I am not married yet, so I am paying just for my self. she is not ill, it's just in case she needs it. Thanks.

I'd be extremely surprised if your mother would qualify as a dependent on your health insurance policy through your employer. You can ask, of course, but don't be surprised if the answer is no. Generally, the only people who might qualify as a dependent on an insurance policy would be a spouse, child, or stepchild. Some groups may allow you to add domestic partners and children you have legal guardianship of. Those are the basics though - any other relationship would be a rare exception.

Is the health insurance in Canada as good as its made out to be?
Ive heard that even though the health care is free you may have to wait a long time for an appointment
--------------------
Our health care system has its good and its bad points. The reasons I would never want to lose our health care system: when you go to the hospital or doctor, no one worries how much money you have in your account, if you're at the right hospital for your coverage.. you just go. It's universal so everyone is covered, and people at the lower end of the income scale have their medical premiums subsidized. I don't pay any co-pays when I see my doctor. If I need to see a specialist, I get sent.. no checking with my insurance to see if they cover it. What our system desperately needs to fix: The wait times. It's very sad, but many people ARE waiting far too long to see specialists, to have surgeries done, etc. Sadly, wait times in ERs can easily be four or more hours. Not good.. The system is over-worked and underfunded. The doctors, nurses and technicians are hard-working and for the most part caring and wonderful, but they're caseloads are far too high. There's a shortage of General practician doctors in certain areas, and god forbid you live outside a large city. I don't blame our universal system on the problems, but rather years of mismanagement and fat cats who eat at the trough. Oh.. and when you say our system is "free" - it's not free. we pay for it through our medicare preminums AND our taxes. No, we don't pay for the individual appointments and visits to the hospital, etc., but don't for a second think that it's free.

Are there any good arguments for requiring health insurance. Ive only heard arguments against it?
Ive heard the car insurance one, not very solid. I also have heard there will be hardship exemptions and certain levels of income earned that will determine how much help will be given in purchasing insurance. Just looking for somethings to note when someone brings up this part of the bill
--------------------
There are lots of good arguments for it. There are also lots of good arguments against it. Since you asked, I'll give you some of the "pro" arguments. In theory, one could take the position "if you chose not to get insurance, it's your own problem, and you should bear the consequences". There are three problems with this. 1.) Children. Children are a big problem in purist capitalist/libertarian policies. Children don't get to chose whether to buy their own insurance. Most people agree that if children get sick, society should pay in some way. For that matter, if the parents get sick and don't get treated, the kids could end up orphans the state has to pay for, 2.) Contagious Diseases. If you catch a contagious disease and don't get cured, you spread it to other people. Some of them may die. Thus your decision to not get insurance effects others. We want anyone who has TB to be able to go to the doctor and get antibiotics. We really don't want anyone to start an antibiotic treatment and run out of money before they finish(creating antibiotic resistant strains). HIV patients on antiviral drugs are less contagious. 3.) In practice, society does pay for sick people without insurance, even if they don't fall in one of the above scenarios. They go to emergency rooms, and don't pay. They go on welfare. Lots of people will say "I chose not to buy insurance, and take the risk" when they are young and healthy, but they tend to sing a different tune if they are badly hurt or get a serious illness. Other reasons for forced insurance... 4.) Spreading the risk among more people reduces the cost for all. If people get to chose not to buy insurance, healthy people will buy it, while sick people won't. 5.) Forced insurances does less to damage the budget deficit then "the public option". 6.) Based on political realities, this was the only universal health plan we were going to get right now.

What do people spend on health insurance?
I will soon be graduating from college and am wondering how expensive is the real world. If I get a decent job out of college ($30-$50,000 a year - I don't know if that matters), and I get benefits from my job as a single person, how much does healthcare normally cost a person (excluding copays). How does that work?
