How does health insurance work in the US? I am a non-US citizen and need this information to do a case. Specifically: 1) Is health insurance compulsory for everyone? 2) What happens if someone cannot afford it? 3) In the event that a medical procedure needs to be done, does health insurance cover all the bills? Does the patient need to pay anything extra? 4) Does the patient have any say over what kind of procedure he can take? Say if 2 treatments are available for his condition, can the patient choose the more expensive treatment? And if so, is it covered by the insurance? Thanks for reading this. Your help in answering any part of the questions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to those who have responded so far. I would like to further ask: Does a health insurance contract state that it will only cover the "normal" rates for a procedure? For eg. if there are 2 possible treatments for a disease, 1 of which is more expensive but more effective than the other, will the patient only be covered by the LESS expensive one? Or is it a case in which the patient can opt for the more expensive one and "top-up" the difference? This is a crucial question to my understanding the case. Thanks!

Why was my health insurance terminated when I am 20 and fulltime college student? I am a dependant on my mother's health insurance from her employer. Recently I was sent a mail requesting a proof of enrollment to show that I am indeed a full-time student.

Today I get a letter saying that my insurance has been terminated and I am no longer eligible because of my age. I thought full time students who are 21 and under can still be placed as a dependant? Is there a chance they just didnt receive my mail? If thats so, then why didnt they state that they didnt receive the required proof of enrollment instead of terminating me for my age?

How can I get health insurance for my family member? My little cousin has absolutely no health insurance, and he has never even been to the dentist. Right now, he really needs extensive dental work. Unfortunately, his parents are ill-equipped to help in this situation, and he is not old enough to get his own insurance (nor is he old enough to work). Basically, it's impossible for his parents to get insurance for him, so I want to help him myself. Since I am not his parent, and our slight age difference makes it impossible for me to pretend to be his parent, I don't see how I can put him on my insurance. He doesn't really speak to his parents, so that makes it even more difficult to coordinate anything with them. I don't make that much money, so I couldn't possibly pay for the work solely out of my pocket. Some sort of financial assistance is simply a must. What can I do to help pay for this dental work?

I'm posititive they will find little things that I have had for a long time, but done nothing about - will they determine it to be a pre-exsisting condition? I mean, if I go the first day of my insurance, they will know that I had this medical condition before my insurance was in place - does that make a difference? I don't know how it works. Thanks!

Health insurance? A while ago I received an answer about health care in the future. In the answer, the person said that "health care should be an individual's responsibility." Personally, I would gladly give up social security to have a nice health insurance program when I become old and gray. Here's why. Recently, my wife had to have some minor outpatient surgery. By the time it was all done, the bills totaled $5500 (and this was minor). Fortunately, we have good insurance and we had only about $400 out of pocket. But, in the future, the percentage increase in health care far outpaces inflation. So, I estimate the same thing to cost about $35000. Most companies do not provide their employees with endless health insurance. This type of cost would certainly jack up insurance costs and out of pocket. How in the world does one plan for this kind of expense? Any opinions about this?

health insurance? Dear friends, I was an international student in the past spring semester and my health insurance is still valid until the end of this summer. Thankfully I have not used my insurance at all and I was wondering if you my friends could give me any smart ideas on how I may be able to get the most out of my health insurance before it expires? I assume there would be no refund to me from the insurance company even if I have not had a single claim on it. I paid almost 500$ for it and that kinda hurts to see it is going to expire soon and you have not benefited from it at all! Hope you understand and thank you very much in advance for your smart ideas and any advice or information you could give, warm regards, Rojin

Health Insurance? Ok, this is related to that Civics Project question that I asked previously. Get info on the project on there. So, for the 28th Amendment, my partner and I agreed that we should do it related to Health Insurance. You know how some people don't have Health Insurance right, and medical bills can get PRETTY HIGH? Well, we thought that maybe the Government should pay at least a small percentage of the bill for the people. I saw this one show on TLC this morning "Quint-Essentials". This one lady had Quituplets, and their hospital bill was nearly $1 Million! They did have a volunteer donation thing, but still, it was a LOT of money to pay. So, we thought that if the govt. could pay maybe 5-10% of the total bill. Really, it's kindof like a Universal Health Care thing, that's what our teacher called it. We also can't change it now, so, yeah we're STUCK with it. Some opinons about our idea would be REALLY helpful! We want to make it REALLY good!! Thanks!!

health insurance? My friend has a brain tumor, about the size of a golf ball. He is 19. It was diagnosed about 2 months ago. Yesterday, he went to the hospital and was supposed to be there until either he died, or could find away to do something about the tumor. They sent him home because he didn't have health insurance. Can doctors do that? REJECT a person's life because they don't have health insurance? They'll just let him sit there and DIE? I thought doctors were supposed to help you.

Health Insurance? I'm looking for a good Health Insurance company. I only need coverage for myself and I'm in good health. I really need insurance that actually comes through when I need my medical bills paid, not a company who will just pocket my money and charge me outrageous deductibles. I don't care about how much my monthly/yearly fees will be as long as it does that. If they have coverage for international travelers, that would be good too. Thank You. I'm sorry your answer isn't helping me. My last insurance company, which I had to let go, didn't just cover my city/state, it worked in all the place I lived, I travel frequently, New York,California etc.

Health insurance? I left my job about a couple of months back.Im actively looking for a job and hoping to land something by next month.Im eligible for COBRA benefits through my former employment.I still have time to elect or waive the COBRA coverage.Im not sure whether I should elect it.I definitely don't have any planned doc/hospital visit in the near future,so I need insurance only for unexpected events.I have time until Aug first week to make the election.I might get insured through my new employer before or roughly around the first half of August but it would be about 4 months since I lost coverage from my previous insurance plan if I do not elect COBRA.I don't know if that has any significance and I don't know what exactly is the HIPAA rights.I read somewhere that a break in health insurance for more than 63 days could mean losing HIPAA rights and also have some other consequences like pre-exclusion.My question is what are the pros and mainly the cons of electing or waiving COBRA benefits?

Health insurance? I need to get basic individual health insurance. I'm no longer covered by my dad's company's insurance provider because I am no longer a full-time student. I don't need prescription coverage because I can pay for those myself. I live in New Jersey and I need a policy that allows me to be covered all over the United States, because I will be leaving in 2 weeks on a broadway national tour, going everywhere from Florida to Washington state. All of the websites I have found on Google are confusing me, and I keep getting directed back to ehealthinsurance which gives me the same quotes for the same NJ-only insurance providers. No idea what to do now. Any advice? Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.
