My understanding is that this insurance is provided through Medicaid and other state assisted insurance programs.

Yes, if it's good insurance.  Or if you have NO insurance and very little money, there are some state-funded programs that will see you for free.

The answer is C.  You pay for a certain # of years & are covered during that time.\n\nRon @ InsureMe http://www.insureme.com/landing.aspx?Refby=614505&Type=life

Depending on what state you are in, there may be a high risk pool administered by your state.  Contact your state's Department of Human Services or other organization.  A high risk pool is great for people who are going to have very high medical bills, but you will have to pay premiums which are likely going to be much higher than if you were healthy.\nYou might also shop around for "short-term" medical insurance.  Insurers are more willing to write people who may be sick under those short term policies because the insurers knows a date certain that they will no longer be responsible.

My partner and I live in Wisconsin and we are insured thru State Farm.  I have no clue how they categorize us there, but we've been with them for almost 25 years and everyone in the office knows us as partners and is cool with it.

There is a lower costing health insurance called KChip that is just for children. I don't know if it is just available in my state of Kentucky but you could type it in the search engine and they might have something similiar in FL for you.

New Jersey has a "medically Needy" program and other medicaid-like services if your son is under age 21.  Social workers have found, however, that the prescription companies themselves are offering better prices.  Check out Wal-Mart in NJ for $4 Rxs!!!  They have a terrific program. It isn't available in all states yet, but NJ's program has already begun.

Hi, I live in Ohio, near the lake, not far from Canada...\nAlot of people in this country have an insurance system that involves partial private pay and premiums taken out of your paycheck, much like a tax off the top. Very few have fully paid medical care anymore; most have either an individual or family "co-pay," which means depending on the insurance plan, a person could pay $500 (US) or more before insurance starts picking up the bill. In the US we also have Medicare or Medicaid that picks up for people over a certain age (like Medicare) or for people who are disabled and/or destitute or meet certain financial criteria (i.e. Medicaid.) There is also help available for families who have disabled or handicapped children. Most people of retirement age and others that would meet the traditional risk categories for something like a stroke would probably qualify for this if they don't already have some insurance through their retirement benefits. Unfortunately for most of these plans criteria is usually set so that for others who could medically and financially benefit they "slip through the crack." I know from both personal experience as well as from others that if you have something that isn't very serious that you try to treat it yourself and avoid the high medical bill even if you have insurance. For those who are uninsured or underinsured and don't qualify, if they have a tragic accident or sudden illness, they go to the hospital and damn the consequences. Most people would go to save themselves or their families lives, and then either force the hospital to write it off as bad debt, or pay what they can when they can, or file bankruptcy...

dsinngerdj,\nYou are providing poor information to the public and any clients that you meet with.  It appears that your only product line is term insurance so you say that that is the only type of insurance that makes sense for anyone.  That is simply wrong.  Every person has a different financial situation and until they have reviewed their situation and established a plan, you can not say that.  For many people a combination of term and permanent coverage is their best bet.

The allowed amounts vary from state to state and insurance company to insurance company.

Well, it doesn't exactly work that way.  The life policies commonly sold to babies, that you pay on for their whole life, are called Whole Life policies.  They are usually a BAD buy.  It usually pays out $2,000 towards funeral benefits, and when they turn 18, you can increase the policy to $25,000 or so (with an increase in cost) without having to prove insurability. \n\nIt was a good deal for my brother, a type 1 diabetic, because that was the only way he'd get coverage except through an employer.  For the most part, however, it's a rotten deal.\n\nFor less than that, maybe $100 a year (2/3 the price) you can buy a 20 year term life insurance policy that will pay $100,000 upon death, you can renew that for another 20 years for about $125 a year.    Just make sure the policy you get is renewable and convertible.

ANY sort of welfare fraud burns me up.  Makes me crazy.  Gets my goat like few other things do.\n\nThis one makes me scratch my head a little as well.  If he already has medical coverage, it will always always always be used as primary.  The only way he will be able to take advantage of it is to go to providers that take Medicaid, and are willing to bill secondary insurances.\n\nIf you want to talk about loopholes, Medicaid participating providers are required to bill Medicaid and not the patient until Medicaid has processed the claim.  However, Medicaid will not pay as primary in a situation like this, and often providers are not required to submit to secondary insurances.\n\nI haven't been in the field for ten years.  Things might have changed, but I haven't heard anything to that affect from people I know who still do this sort of work---And they know it interests me.  :-)

I am not sure about the insurance you can get through AARP... however, he will not get most regular insurances because of a preexisting condition. His best bet is to go to an insurance broker. They are free and make their money when they sell the policy and see what the broker can come up with.

Hmmm ... that's between you and the company that issues the health insurance. Check with it.

I would check with the state you live in. For example my state (NY) has a plan called healthy NY for working people that have no insurance at reasonable rates. Go to your state's website to check.
