Well, the enrolled ones might have IHS - Indian Health Services - but they usually kill off more Indians than they cure, so its' all a big wash.

Yes it is.  Infact, they also receive medical benfits from their government to insure they're healthy.

I think the questioner was simply trying to get us to think about how much we pay out each year to have medical insurance, and car insurance, and whatever other kind of insurance because we are responsible citizens, while illegal aliens by their very illegal status don't have any insurance, and WE the tax paying, insurance holding citizens MUST pay for them when they use any " free" health service. Yes it's free to them, but it's we the legal tax payers who end up paying for it.

I had to go shopping for health insurance recently and got a lot of quotes with all kinds of options. Private pay - like what your asking. If your not over 40, healthy, don't smoke or have any special needs, then our situations are similar and I can tell you what I was impressed with. Out of 8 bids from various national company's; The two best were Mutual of Omaha and American Family. MofO was very impressive with coverage, additional free benefits and low cost riders like glasses and dental. American family was the same with an added benefit of a high yield health savings account that can be used as a tax deduction. Both had low deductables with free well care or low co pay well care, and were well under 200 a month not including riders. Good luck.

check with your insurance company they can tell you what is covered and what is not covered. If it's not check with your local health department, they usually offer them for less or sometimes, depending on you situation for free.

Don't think so.\n\nThe benifits are for the children.  That's why it's called "benefits for surviving children".

CHIP is generally something you apply through at your local BlueCross BlueShield Office.  They have low cost childrens insurance.\nAs for help with dental, don't we all need that!  I have no idea where an adult can receive dental benefits similar to medicaid.

Is this a health insurance plan paid for by your employer?  If it is, take the one that would most benefit you and your family.  HMO's may be fine for some people, but I chose to take Blue Cross/Blue Shield; it allows me to go to any doctor I want, and just about everything is covered.  Yes, there may be a higher copay bill you may receivef rom the doictor, but it is worth it.  HMO's tend to dictate who, what, where, when and how you can receive medical treatment.  They also may not be accepted out of your area, so if you were on vacation, thwere may be a problem if something may happen that requires a hospital or doctor visit.  Research all plans available to you, and make the decision that is best for your needs.\n\nI am the president of my union at work, and we are fighting to keep BCBS; we have been without a contract for a year and a half, and will wait as long as we have to to insure that we keep this benefit.

Generally, no.  Your benefits are defined and controlled by your employer.  They are under no obligation to compensate you if you opt out or don't participate in the benefits they provide, UNLESS, they have a policy or program to do so.  \n\nSome companies have developed programs to pay employees some amount to not use health care coverage - for example if they are covered by a spouse's health care plan.  Most plans like this require you to prove that you have coverage somewhere else.

Yes. If people get sick or hurt they need something to fall back on. Plus it helps the employer too. People with health insurance can get back on their feet faster and, if the stay home briefly, don't get others sick. On top of which you probably can deduct this expense from the company's taxes.

It is the scheduled castes, tribes, backward communities  that have benefited the most from this segregation. When Ambedkar envisaged reservation, he thought that within 40 years of Independence, all the castes would be assimilated and the Hindus will have one homogeneous caste.\n\nToday to the SC, ST, BC have been added minorities who have reservations in every aspect of life, right from preference in schools, to jobs, to everything in life.\n\nIt is said that one man cannot pay for the sin/s of another. The SC, etc say that my forefathers have looted, cheated, commit ed atrocities on them and I should pay for this by giving them various concessions. I have checked up my family history over three generations, I have not come across any case of any atrocity by my forefathers. So I am being paid for crimes that my ancestors never committed, just because appeasement of these segments will win votes for the politicians and assure them another six years in power.\n\nIronical, isn't it Ambedkar started the reservation policy to assimilate his people, all ta-ht it has ended up doing is increased awareness in segregation and chaos in the country!\n\nst
