I am a sophomore in college and have not had health or dental insurance since I was a little girl. I can’t be on my mom’s insurance cause the price will sky rocket. I have a part time job so I don’t get health benefits at work. Is there some type of health insurance that has good coverage but also doesn’t cost too much since I don’t make too much?

Hi

I strained a back muscle near my right shoulder blade at work and because I have had it so long, the doctor signed me up for physical therapy. What are the chances of recovering from this injury if I follow the therapists instructions and do the exercises at home as well? I have went a long time not using the muscle to aid in healing and because of that, it is weak. It is not a severe strain but I am afraid I will be stuck dealing with it forever. Thanks




I know they have pre-physical therapy, but during the application I need to select an actual major. What should I select? Exercise physiology? Nutrition sciences? Medical Humanities? Other?




I am interested in possibly becoming a physical therapy assistant, but I am very squeamish. I was wondering if there is ever going to be a time during the schooling where I would have to work with dead bodies or if I am going to ever have to deal with a lot of blood? Any other gross aspects about this job I should know about before pursuing anything? Thanks.

How is it legal for health insurance companies to discriminate against people with disabilities (I mean, medical disabilities), but other companies are not allowed to, like grocery stores are not allowed to? Or maybe it IS legal for other businesses to discriminate against people I am really just curious, that’s all. About the legal process. Health insurance companies kind of make me mad, because of this issue. I know I am expressing a political opinion, but I ask you not to troll. If you have a different opinnion thatn me, you can argue for it, but please don’t start trollin.’




As I understand it, the bill forces all Americans to have health insurance. However, I think that the fine for having no health insurance is around 0. But after the year 2014, health insurance companies will not be able to turn customers away for preexisting conditions. Why wouldnt someone pay the fine or buy low end coverage until they got ill and supplement the coverage or buy an extensive plan?
