UNEMPLOYMENT OR HEALTH INSURANCE, THAT IS THE QUESTION ?
by the end of 2009 there will be 27.7 million jobs lost in this country, and the government is worried about health care ! WHERE IN THE HELL ARE THE UNEMPLOYED WORKER going to get the money for insurance ?
Not the politician’s problems. Once the unemployment benefits run out, they’ll be able to claim that the new claims are down, less people are on it, and that means the unemployment RATE is going down, so that their policies are helping.
Everyone educated in the public schools will believe it. Yehaw!!

How to get health insurance for senior age parents who have greencard status?
My mother-in-law is in her 70s and in fairly good health, but the problem is her insurance. She never worked in this country, and will not be eligible for medicare/medical/medicaid for 5 years (due to green card/residency issues). She currently is a member of Kaiser, but due to her age is considered a ”high risk” patient, and her monthly premium has now gone up to $700 per month. This gives her basic Kaiser care, with co-pays for visits and prescriptions. After consulting a healthcare advocacy group who does comparisons of plans for people, their suggestion was to drop her healthcare completely and save the money. I feel this would be disastrous if something really bad were to happen to her (accident, etc.) and would like to try to present her with other options. Does anyone know of a group that is accepting members for health insurance that has good rates? (any group of people large enough can get a group plan through major insurers) Any advice welcome!
I don’t have an answer directly, but I have noticed that AARP is forever sending me information that includes insurance. Since it is a membership organization, they can get group plans that make things pretty reasonable. It’s at least a start in your research.
There may also be long-term plans that need to be looked into specifically, but if your real problem is covering the next five years, you need to have some idea of what she can expect to do when she is eligible for Medicare, and look for an insurance company that knows how to interact seamlessly (do the paperwork for you) to collect your benefits most efficiently. The modern thing is you have one card, and they can change things around in the computer according to what you need. You don’t need to keep shopping around.
If she’s generally healthy now, and has the good sense to take care of herself reasonably, she really has to figure on getting three digits together in some reasonable comfort. By the time she gets there, it will have become relatively common. Our old age statistics are going to show even more amazing improvements in the next ten years or so, as the medical improvements made for the benefit of aging Baby Boomers has its first and most dramatic effect on people who are already older, but healthy.
Buying Group Health Insurance: Play the game
Business coverage for group health insurance
Getting the best business coverage for group health insurance can be a very challenging task. There are many factors that impact pricing for your group health coverage. Depending upon the state in which your business is based, factors such as age, gender, health history and your industry will all affect your group health coverage for your business.
In many states, the pricing for group health insurance can vary widely based upon the factors detailed above. In addition, the type of plan and the deductible amounts along with the out of pocket maximum will drive your pricing. When you get health insurance quotes, make sure the pricing is inclusive of the health conditions in your group. You may not want to know all the details of your employee’s health conditions so that you are not in violation of privacy laws and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
In states where the rating is not fully community rated (or the same from one person to the other) rating swings can be dramatic. For example, an employer with 10 employees with no health conditions will be significantly cheaper than an employer with 10 employees and multiple health conditions.
It is important to check out the market annually or every other year so that your business coverage for group health insurance is being purchased at the most affordable price point.
The benefit structure such as the deductible, co-payments and out of pocket maximum all develop the actual pricing. For example, a $1,000 deductible plan that is 100% after the deductible is met will be at least 15% more expensive than a $1,000 deductible plan that has 80%/20% coinsurance and a $3,000 out of pocket liability after the deductible is met. So do your homework and compare.
Shopping for business coverage for group health insurance is not like buying a copier. The pricing can vary dramatically from the original quote you received so ask a lot of questions. When you are buying your copier, the price should not change once you have made a commitment to purchase. However, with health insurance your pricing may change once underwriting has been completed.
You should request to see your final rates and plan design and get in writing before signing off and accepting a group health insurance plan.
