health care?
Q. if my cousin(canadian) marries her american bf will she lose her health care coverage here permanently? and how would marriage affect her canadian status? a long distance relationship is difficult but before she agrees to move there she wants to know how her canadian health care would be affected. The other option is for him to move here, but he has strong family ties. So..say she starts with a temporary work visa.. what are the guidelines in regards to coverage? *we canadians hear such horror stories about U.S citizens not having enough money to get needed medical assistance*

A. First of all health care is a provincial responsibility so it depends on the rules of her province. In Ontario she has to reside in ON for at least half the year to be covered by the ON health plan. It would be prudent to check this out. Marriage would not affect her citizenship.

How would health care reform effect doctors and patients in america?
Q. What are the pro's and cons for both doctors and patients... I like the quality of care that i receive now but the price of medical care is sickening & unaffordable to pretty much everyone. How would this effect health care? If you get to pick your own doctor how would this effect your treatment? How can our country realistically afford to pay for health care? Are taxes going to go up to pay for this which in the end is that even saving americans money? Give me some facts about this health care plan
Asked by Ro$e - Wed Aug 5 21:34:53 2009 - - 7 Answers - 1 Comments

A. What is going to happen is the Government is going to set the rates doctors can charge for services. Doctors cannot afford the rates so they will overbook people to get the most money they can so you will go to the Dr office and wait for several hours and maybe even have to return the next day. Dr groups will get bigger and overbooking will be even more and waiting will be longer. Just think of going to the Dr and there being 100 patients in the waiting room to see a Dr.

Doesnt the health care industry already have enough incentives without Hillary giving them more?
Q. One Hillary supporter pointed out that Hillary's health care plan has "financial incentives" for the health care industry. Hasn't anyone noticed that health care costs are already growing at a double digit rate? Is health care so cheap we can afford her "financial incentives"? Is it not apparent that Hillary's campaign is already accepting money from health care companies who would benefit from her universal health care plan that is supposed to benefit the poor?

A. You need to talk with a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area. Insurance companies and the plans they offer will vary from state to state and the premium with any one plan can vary by zip code. At 22 if you are in good health you should be able to find a catastrophic plan for less than $100 in most states and a comprehensive plan shouldn't be much more than $100. The agent will be able to explain what you need to know - there is not enough space here to tell you everything. You'll need to know about the deductible, the co-insurance, the co-pays and what is covered with the co-pay, what procedures are and are not subject to the deductible, what is excluded from the plans, which doctors accept the plans, the… [cont.]

A. If marijuana was made legal and the government produced and taxed it, the revenue could cover a huge portion of the health care budget. The government could mass produce many different types of weed and at such a low cost because the 'danger' aspect would be non-existent; then then they could tax it heavily and make it cost the same it does now plus make billions a year that could be used to support health care. Not only that but it would save the DEA and many police forces and other government agencies billions just in time spent and effort wasted arresting harmless weed smokers. In New York city in 2008 it cost them 90 million dollars to arrest and detain people possessing minor amounts of weed and I can think of many better uses for… [cont.]

Asked by Hawt Girls - Sun Oct 25 17:41:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. About 75 percent of health care services in Canada are delivered privately but funded publicly. The government does not run most of the hospitals and clinics; it only pays them for the services they provide, and sets the fees they can charge. Some things are not covered by the government system, including prescription drugs and dental care. To cover those needs, most Canadians have supplemental private insurance, which is usually paid for by their employer.

A. It doesn't fail, almost every first world country has it setup as a system. Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure. The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy. If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas.

Can a health care provider refuse to release your records to you?
Q. Regardless of the facility, be it a hospital, clinic, psychology, dental etc. Can a health care facility make the decision "Not" to release your personal medical records to you personally? I signed the authorization forms, had the fee ready, and they said "No" to releasing them to me, but would release them to another doctor with the proper authorization form sent by that office. Isn't this a Hipaa violation?
Asked by Euro 4 - Mon Mar 15 13:43:58 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is a violation, by law, they must give you copies of your records. I would call the facility and ask to talk to the person that manages the records department and tell them your experience, and ask that they have your records copied and that you will pay any fee required and when you want to pick them up. If once again you are refused, it's time to call your state department of health to lodge a complaint against the facility.

Q. 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.'

A. Nothing at all, for four more years. None of the insurance parts of the law, go into effect, until 2014. The only thing that goes into effect now, is the tax increase. Surgery, physical therapy, none of that can be covered - it's all preexisting. Maybe your community has a victim's assistance fund, that can help pay these bills.

A. Many states are appealing to the federal government because the new bill places many more people on Medicaid but does not increase funding enough to cover those extra people. Unless the states can get more funding there will be less money per person, which means those limits will not be eased and may actually get worse.
