How Can I Get Free Health Insurance?
By
Many children, families and adults qualify for free- or low-cost health insurance, and they don’t even know it! Your ability to get these state- and federally-sponsored medical programs is usually based on the size of your family and your income.
These programs vary state-by-state, so it’s important to check with your local government offices. However, many of the plans share similar qualifiers. Some groups of people that commonly qualify for low- or no-cost health coverage include:
1. Children and young adults under 19 years of age. Youth programs are common throughout the United States, and often include dental, vision and mental health or substance abuse counseling in addition to basic medical coverage. 2. Pregnant women. Available through Medicaid – and often through state departments of health – you can qualify depending on your income and family size. 3. Seniors 65 years of age and over. People in this category are usually covered by Medicare, a health insurance program of the federal government. 4. Disabled People. If you’re permanently disabled, there’s a good chance you can qualify for Medicare.
5. Immigrants Needing Emergency Care. If you have a medical emergency, you might be eligible for a state-funded Alien Emergency Medical Program (AEM) which can pay for your emergency care. To be eligible for most states’ AEMs, you must be low income, have an emergency medical condition, and be: under 18, or have dependent children, or be older than 64, or disabled, or pregnant. In addition, many states and sometimes the federal government will cover your costs for specific medical procedures and/or services. These programs are often partnerships between state health departments and national organizations like the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. These services might include things like: 1. Mammograms 2. Pap Smears 3. End-Stage Renal Disease 4. Birth Control As we’ve said before, programs like these vary state-by-state, so it’s important to check with your state or local health department.

During Obama’s health care speech to congress he was told that what he said was a lie; that he was a liar when he said that Illegal Aliens would not be covered by his health care plan. Although the congressman was right, I found it very inappropriate to call the President a liar while he was making an address to the congress and the people. But the fact of the matter is that he is either lying about illegals not getting health insurance, or he is lying about there being 46 million Americans …

I think it is fair to provide healtcare for those that CANNOT work. I am not talking about those who don't want to work. For those that can work, we should have a scale. You can't just set an income scale or bracket. In my state (2 bedroom apartment rents for $1550) you can't live on $60K a year with a family that has 2 children. In some others you can. So here is the fair plan.
- We set a local income scale based on average living expenses in a local. Probably by county.
-The Fed subsidizes it by a percentage up to the cap for what is consider poor based on the scale.
-Everyone buys commercial insurance if they want it and get a tax break for doing so. Those the are under the cap, get a subsidy.
-The government negotiates for best prices with the big providers, and there is a discount that is good for all. (Like Massachusetts)
This way, for those that can self-insure, are Christian Science or friends of Ron Hubbard, they are not forced ot have it. If you need it and want it, it is affordable. And if you priorities are a new HD TV and car that you can't afford, and not insurance, don't get sick.

Yes, employers can pretty much do whatever they choice as far as how much benefits that they provide.
With the cost of everything going up, employers are considering cost, and they are making employees pay for some of the cost of their medical benefits. Many, many, companies are following the same trend.
With a lot of people out of work, you have to consider the fact that you are employed, and go ahead a pay the cost of the medical.
You can always decide to look for another job, but you won't find too many companies that provide medical 100%.

carebear, Health insurance can be very tricky. Since I'm from Idaho I'm not sure about California regulations, so I suggest you visit a nearby insurance agent. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Health-Insurance.html They will be able to help you.

I live in Illinois and myself and my children get an All Kids Care card. I am also covered on it. I get it through the Department of Human Services (public aid office). You might want to try your local one, you could also call Family Planning or The Crisis Pregnancy Center for more information. I am sure they have some type of coverage for pregnant women and your child when he/she is born. Good Luck!!

Sometimes I think that the old money blue blood WHITE PEOPLE who are really running this country somewhere in the shadows.. (as they should by the way…they founded it)…Let Obama the black have the presidency cause they knew the U.S. is going down the tubes. And then everyone can point when his presidency is over and be like …”see I told u the nigger was gonna fuck us up!”

There are many places to get an on-line quote. Here is another: http://www.yourhealthplanadvisor.com/ooshealth.html and I'm sure if you do an internet search you'll find many more.
You can get an idea of costs on-line, but there are hundreds of plans available and how do you know if you've choosen the best one for your situation? It'll take you several days to intelligently compare all the plans available. Also, if you have any pre-existing conditions that might add a rider to the policy, cause you to be declined, or if you are out of the height and weight guidelines you won't know until you've applied and gone through the underwriting process which is a big waste of time. You should contact a local independent agent who can work with you to find the best policy and will weed out the plans that won't accept you because of any health condition or will not cover you to your expectations. The plans and premiums are no different using an agent.
