I sustained a foot injury last week but actual coverage starts August 1. In other words, I am paying for insurance coverage but I am not deriving the benefit.
Legal and common.
See, it’s not your policy – it’s your employer’s policy. On August 1st when the coverage starts, they have to pay the insurance company in full, for the month, for you. So they take the money out of your check in July, so they have it, when the time comes to PAY for it.
But the insurance company itself, hasn’t actually been PAID yet for you. So you did not PAY for the coverage – you set the money aside to pay for it. Not the same thing at all.
We understand that 49 million plus Americans do not have Health Insurance. There is individual and there is family insurance. Therefore, if 300 million Americans and 50 do not have health insurance then 250 million do. Were 250 million policies written?
Well, your numbers are off. About 42 million PEOPLE here in the US have no health insurance, and about HALF of them aren’t Americans. So you’re looking at about 21,000,000 Americans. HALF of them are uninsured by choice. They don’t WANT the health insurance.
No, there aren’t 250 million policies written. The vast, vast majority of Americans are covered by group health plans. My husband’s employer has ONE policy, which covers over 3,000 employees, AND THEIR FAMILIES. Maybe, 15,000 people total.
No one collects the number of policies there are in force. It’s too vast a project, and every day, the number changes.

Make no mistake about it. Health care reform is coming. But what’s the best way to fix our health care system, which is an inefficient, complicated mess of private actors, third-party payers, public subsidies, and innumerable state and federal regulations? Should we place our faith in the government or in the free market?
ObamaCare supporters argue that the answer lies in more government—more subsidies, more regulations, a law mandating individuals buy health-insurance coverage and, of course, more taxes to pay for it all.
The alternative is to base reforms on what works in the other five-sixths of the U.S. economy, where choice and competition increase quality and drive down prices over time.
Can a market-based health care system work? We can begin to answer this question by looking at Lasik, a medical procedure that’s not covered by Health Insurance. And has gotten better—and cheaper—over time.
“How to Fix Health Care” proposes three simple reforms that will put us on a path to a health-care system that’s better, more affordable, and more accessible. And get this—these market-based reforms can be implemented without creating new government programs or raising taxes.

Since I won’t be getting my paycheck while I’m on maternity leave, what will happen with my Health Insurance? My employer pays most of it, but they still take about $100 a week out of my check for what I have to pay. If I’m not getting a paycheck while I’m on leave, how will my insurance be paid? I have short term disability that I pay into voluntarily every week, so that’s what I’ll be living off of while I’m out, which isn’t really much. How will the insurance get paid?
You’ll have to ask your employer. At worst, you’ll have to cut a check for it. At best, the employer will advance it, and subtract what you owe out of the next paycheck(s) you get after you return to work.
Babies DO take 9 months to grow, so you’ve got time to put away some money and save for the extra costs.
I know COBRA is available for many, but it is very expensive to keep up and runs only for a limited period. Questions like this have been asked before and those against governement supported health care just accused those who didn’t have Health Insurance as lazy losers. But with the economy crashing, the scenario has changed. If you aren’t employed anymore and have no income and little savings, what are you doing for health insurance?
TAT…I left my job and my COBRA payment was $1,200 a month for me and my family. When you are unemployed, that is a LOT of money and not "reasonable" as you describe it. Many don’t have enough money for rent and food, much less that kind of money.
There are many things that are expensive. COBRA is reasonable. If insurance is important to someone they need to make that sacrifice. I guess we should be paying for their food and homes. Those are expensive and a necessity. Where does it stop?
\
Bad things happen. That is life. Hard times come and tough decisions have to be made. That still does not make it anyone else’s reponsibility to care for you. And you need to talk to COBRA again. That figure, according to the guy I just spoke to , seems inflated.
Hey. Please somebody help me. I am employed but don’t get any health insurance. I am 27 and single and need a good Health Insurance but cheap. I live in Florida. Can somebody can help me with that?
