Does anyone know what some good health insurance companies offer and how they work?
Q. What are some good health insurance companies? Good meaning good coverage low deductible nothing shady, or in the small print that is kind of dishonest not expensive for a college student ? does the deductible include the monthly insurance premium? Do health insurance companies ever allow a person to have a policy through their company as well as a policy through another company? Are there any reasons you may be denied the insurance?

A. 1) It depends on where you live. 2) No the premium does not apply to the deductible, neither do copays. 3) Very rarely. Why would you want to? 4) Yes. Preexisting conditions. Don

Who is opposed to letting health insurance companies compete across the entire country, and why?

Why do Liberals blame the high cost of health care on insurance companies?
Q. The high costs originate with the health care providers. Insurance companies actually fight with providers to keep costs down as much as possible. Why would the insurance companies want health care costs to be more expensive? Do Liberals know the difference between health care providers and health insurance companies? If so why do you never hear them complain about what providers are charging in the first place?

A. I haven't heard anyone blame insurance companies for the cost of health care charged by providers. I have heard some blame insurance companies for increasing the cost of insurance well beyond the rate of inflation. The problem is that there really aren't any effective ways in which to combat the actual costs of health care charged by the provider. We might decrease the cost of prescription drugs by negotiating with Big Pharma and allowing Americans to buy drugs from Canada, for example but that's about it. There really isn't any way to decrease the price charged by a doctor or hospital. Our system doesn't allow for any sort of market forces (which you would think republicans would be fighting for).

A. She should visit a local independent agent. The agent works with most of the plans available in her area and can work with her to find the best plan for her situation and budget. The plans and premiums are exactly the same whether she uses the agent of buys directly from the company. Also, if she has pre-existing conditions or is out of the height and weight guidelines she might get declined. The agent can help find a company that will accept her.

Exactly what value do private insurance companies add to our health care system?
Q. It costs employers huge amounts of money to pay premiums and track and administer complex benefits programs. This puts our companies in definite disadvantage to companies from countries with national health care. Has anyone ever been made healthier because of insurance companies? Is it possible that insurance companies are sucking more $$$ out of the system than it would take to finance national health care? Seems to me we are just paying the health insurance companies to deny us care. I think they are useless feeders and parasites and we'd be better off without them.

Hospitals used to have clinics for those who didn't have insurance and people paid on a sliding scale according to income. As group insurance became available with some employers the clinics were forced out because the insurance would not cover clinic fees. That is a fact. Some people used the clinics even when they had insurance. It was cheaper and the quality was there!

Why are health insurance companies allowed to form monopolies?
Q. Why were health insurance companies exempt from anti-trust legislation? A monopoly is formed when one or more companies combine to form one company that can fix prices due to lack of competition. This is why I said "companies", isn't it obvious? So there are 2100 insurance companies? Then how come in my state I can only choose from 2 providers? That should read "two or more" of course.

A. They are not allowed to form monopolies. The McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945 was passed in response to the Supreme Court case United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters. The act allows state's regulate the insurance industry without federal government interference. Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, issuing policies was not considered commerce that could be regulated by Congress under the Interstate COmmerce Clause. McCarran-Ferguson returned the primary task of regulation to the states. It doesn't mean that the federal government can not regulate the industry, it just means the anti-trust laws don't apply.

I don't know of any that go as specific as city. As far as an average price - impossible to answer accurately. There's too many factors in determining price - such as type of coverage, location, and business or individual, and if the employer picks up part of or all of the tab. I'm going to guess, based on my experience, that a single adult pays about $500-$1000 a month. My plan is $450 a month for just me. My parents pay about $700 a month for just the two of them. I know someone who pays $3500 a month for their family of six.
