Let’s Talk About Health

Mean people ****! asked:


The only reason I am asking this is because the government section is full of extremists and didn’t give any decent anwers, so maybe somebody here knows…
I never watch the news, so I have no idea what it is, but I was talking to my mom who works for unicare and she makes over $70K a yr. and she is very worried about obama’s health care initiative. What is it, and how will it affect her job?

My friend doesn’t have health insurance and is planning on putting his new baby (born around Oct.) on his policy with him. He’s Latin American and has his permanent residence card, but is not yet a citizen. Anyone know of any affordable plans for him to look into in the Manhattan area?

I work full-time, and I have 3 part-time employees and 2 temporary employees who work maybe once every 2 months. Everyone is paid minimum wage and no one receives health benefits. Will the health care reform bill affect us negatively?

My son is on a feeding tube due to a small bowel transplant he received last year. My husband and I are returning to a full work schedule and our health insurance (Tricare) does not cover a nurse for him, or special daycare because his only special need is the feeding tube and the medication he receives through it. Apparently that’s not enough. So is there a good company that I can purchase insurance through who will cover these types of things for him?

I have a friend who’s been turned down for salary protection because he was once treated with depression. He’s afraid now that he’s becoming self-employed he’s going to have trouble getting health insurance. Is there anything he should be doing to get covered?

I recently suspected I was developing an ulcer, and my doctor gave me a prescription of an acid reducing medication. Immediately, my nausea and headaches went away, but also I feel like my digestion is better and have pretty much stopped having diarrhea as well.

How else did too much stomach acid negatively affect my health, and what other benefits could I experience?
Okram: nope. Because I wasn’t experiencing any pain (only nausea), he said to try the acid reducers for a month first.

My husband and I are looking for health insurance. I grew up on Blue Cross Blue Shield but I don’t know if that is an A rated company or not. Also, what benefits should I look for, what kind of deductible and what kind of q’s should I ask?

I am recently out of the military and need to purchase an individual health ins policy. However, I am not sure which ones are the best. I am a student, do they offer any good student policies? Also, is the SGLI to VGLI conversion a good change to make? If not, which is better term or whole life insurance policies?

B-Dub asked:


With all this talk about reforming health care, I hear a lot of people talking about not wanting to pay for other’s health care and about how free health care isn’t a right. Don’t we use a tax-based system for education or am I missing something? What’s the difference?
