United States! Do You Purchase Private Health Insurance?  |
|
I had a time trying to figure out what interest to put this into. I see plenty of discussions, in politics, about government subsidized health insurance but that is not the info I am after.
Who, here, has to purchase private health insurance because their employer or their spouse's employer doesn't provide benefits?
Are you pleased with your options/coverage/deductibles? What company did you choose? Can you share any info, estimated cost, etc?
There are SO many companies and so many options I thought I would petition the Lot first.
I am also wondering about those that are not US citizens, what health insurance options have you found for coverage for you and/or your family?

1. khayshenz (1093) | 7 months ago | I don't purchase health insurance since my employer is paying for most of it. I'm please with it so far. Not too fussy and the doctor is definitely better than my other doctor.
My grand parents are not US Citizens yet - they are green card holders, however. Their health insurance is actually with the state called MediCAL. And as far as I know - it's better than anything they've had! I can tell too! Because my grandmother had really bad diabetes when she was in the Philippines. For the first year that she was here, the doctor had her on insulin. Now she's not on insulin anymore, and on regular diet. MediCAL is great!
So my state already have "universal insurance" - that's why I don't think Mr. President should enforce HIS universal insurance. He should enforce it to states - and require them to have insurance for their constituents. I don't mind if he gives them a leg up with the stimulus money! But make the local people pay for their insurance through taxes or whatever.

Irishfrndly65 (7474) | 7 months ago | MediCal, hhmm I wonder if each state has something similiar?
| |

khayshenz (1093) | 7 months ago | I don't think so - that's why the whole fuss with universal insurance. Because if every state have some kind of mediCAL - then everyone should have "insurance" so to speak.

khayshenz (1093) | 7 months ago | Though it would be an interesting find, if the states already have such a thing as MediCAL, then why do we need universal insurance?=P

Irishfrndly65 (7474) | 6 months ago | That sucks, mykl. I have a personal issue against insurance companies anyway. Legalized extortion(did I spell that right), but you know what I mean.

5. glords (1434) | 7 months ago | There was a point in time that I needed to purchase health insurance. I shopped around and the deductibles were outrageous. The ones that I could afford, really didn't pay much, so even with insurance I would have avoided going to the doctor asap. I decided at those prices I would pass after all I was single and had no children. I went for a couple years without health insurance, and without seeing a doctor. Now that I am a parent I know that going without health insurance is out of the question. Thankfully my husband's work provides UHC for the employees. Even so we have to pay 4000 dollars out of pocket each year before they pay anything. That is a lot of money, and yet we make it every year. Once we hit 4000 everything else is paid in full.

6. dawnald (10371) | 7 months ago | I haven't been in this boat. My brother-in-law is a contractor and he uses Kaiser. He's quite happy with it. I wouldn't like it because I wouldn't be able to choose any doctor I want.

Irishfrndly65 (7474) | 6 months ago | Ok...I'll look into that is is Kaiser Permanente, do you know? Am I even spelling that right? LOL!
