I am a type 2 diabetic, its non obesity related. I haven’t been able to check my sugar in ages, and ive been chugging water a lot lately. I have health insurance but even with it I still cannot afford testing strips. I have a freestyle lite glucose meter if that helps. Thanks.

I am covered by my wife’s medical insurance plan. The coverage is good and doesn’t cost us anything extra for me to be listed on her policy. My employer offers medical insurance, however it’s a small company and I’ve heard negative things about the cost/benefits. I’m wondering if it’s acceptable to ask for compensation in lieu of medical insurance. If so, how much is appropriate to ask for? Because it is a small company there isn’t already a precedent for this situation. I live in Oregon.

How do we go about this without drastically increasing out health insurance costs?
Of course we all need to practice healthier lifestyle habits, but fiscally how do we improve our nation? Should we adobt other nation’s practices? if so, whose?
How do we improve health care across america and lower the costs to the citizens who utilize that care?

We are losing my wife’s health insurance and are going to be taking out a private health insurance policy. I am self-employed and think I can deduct the premiums from my taxable income.

Does anyone know if that is the case? I would appreciate anyone who could point me in the right direction.

I went to the emergency room for some x-rays on my ankle and I was wondering if anyone knew the average cost. I do not have insurance.

This week it became impossible in Massachusetts for small businesses and individuals to buy any health-care coverage.

I predicated dozens of times here on YA that ObamaCare will cause 100 million Americans to lose health care insurance,Liberals always laughed. Soon we’ll see libs, and do not whine then nobody wants to sell you a policy. You were warned, you laughed, now face the consequences.

My friend is writing a play in which a lead character goes to the emergency room and has no insurance and no money. A big part of the play hinges on him having to pay this astronomical bill, which his brother then agrees to take on. Is this how it would really play out? Would the brother be responsible? Would the patient if he had no insurance or money?

I was hit in April by an uninsured motorist; he totalled both our cars. I have since seen 8 doctors to diagnose several issues caused by the accident. I’ve undergone xrays, physical therapy, ultrasounds, blood tests and an MRI, and am now on medication and more phys therapy.

I had k in uninsured motorist medical coverage, which my ridiculous claim adjuster told me last week ran out over a month ago – I’m now getting bills I can’t afford, and I’m not yet well. A friend said I can demand more $ from my insurance company? But he also said Colorado requires insurance companies to cover all med bills, and I’ve found no such statement on the CO govt sites.
My regular health insurance won’t cover these bills – what do I do?
Was also told attornies won’t take my case: the kid who hit me is likely illegal, has been unresponsive. One lawyer said even if I won the case, wouldn’t necessary get $ out of it. Last thing I need are lawyer bills.

How much does cancer treatment – radiation therapy, cost?
My grandma has cancer and I need to know how much does cancer radiation treatments cost?
Thank you!!
She is in Russia and I need an approximate cost of this treatment to see if I should bring her here, to the United States, Florida. She has no insurance. I just need an approximate cost to see if we can afford it or if she should do it in Russia.
Thank you!

My son was just denied health coverage from a private insurance company. He needs medical insurance. I heard that this new law will do away with ‘pre-existing conditions.’ He recently had surgery on his hand from a stabbing. Will this new health care law go back and help pay for the surgery and anything he needs such as physical therapy?

If I joined the army I know I get some form of insurance, and I was wondering how good of insurance it was, how long I would have it, and would there be any co-pay when I do use it.

We need medical coverage in the USA desperately. Has anyone given any thought to stem cell research eliminating disease? It would greatly reduce the cost of government regulated medical insurance. Of course not to consider the pain in second place of all this. We need these cures. If at all possible. Why would any one want to stop this I don’t understand.

to purchase health insurance that only covers one type of health care from only certain types of providers?

My friend and her husband are having a baby. They both work, but they make ,000 together and the Medicaid and WIC maximum income in our state is ,000

Their employers do NOT offer medical insurance, and they currently have medical coverage that they bought on their own for 0 a month.

Problem is that their medical coverage does NOT include maternity and they can’t get any other medical coverage because the wife is already pregnant. They have no way of paying for OB costs, delivery, and hospital charges now!

What are citizens supposed to do in this situation?????
It’s not for me, I need the advice for my friend ASAP. What can they do when they state says they aren’t "poor" enough?

My dad purchased a life insurance policy in oct 2008, he died in a tragic car crash on nov 2008, will the life insurance company pay?
