In the U.S., anyone who wants to (and can affrod to) can purchase private health insurance. But once you turn 65, you are eligible for Medicare, so virtually everyone switches from traditional private health care, because basic Medicare is free, and the additional services available are much cheaprer. Many people do buy a private Medicare supplement, though, to cover things Meidcare doesn't.

It is not the governments job to take care of people! This country was built on the rugged individual and not the nanny state. I would never want the government to think it knows what is best for me. There is nothing stopping people from seeing a doctor and making payments. \nMy father had no insurance for years with us 7 kids and that's how they made it work. We have it so much better in this country than anywhere else in the world. When you grow up you will realize this.

This can be tough. I work for one of the big insurance companies and in cases I have seen in the past where there was drug use, we were usually able to get coverage, however, at a higher cost. He may get standard(normal) rates but will have to pay a special ratings class charge for the first five years. It is usually an additional cost per thousand. If he is declined just find out how many years he would have to wait before they would consider him. If never, then he will have wait until he is 50 and he get a guaranteed issue policy from Gerber Life or Farmers and Traders or one of them. I think its age 50, not positive.

You have to be at least 17 with a parents permission, and the maximum age is older than 35 now, I believe it is 39.

A number of companies will exclude pre-existing conditions for the first year and cover them after that.  The best thing to do is shop around.  Try Golden Rule.  They have a pretty good price.  Try getting a plan with a Health Savings Account attached.  Part of your money pays for the insurance and part goes into a cheking account that you can use to pay for any medical expenses.

A lot depends on your situation. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, the average individual health insurance premium is $173. Of course, premiums depend on what kind of plan you have, where you live, your age and sex, medical history, and other factors. For example, another KFF study found that a 25-year old would spend $57 a month for a Washington HMO policy while a 60-year old would spend $205 for an identical policy. A few states do not allow health insurance companies to charge more based on age. And the average monthly premium in California is about $211 – about $40 dollars above the national average, according to California Healthcare Foundation. Moreover, some medical conditions can increase premiums by 20 to 80 percent.\n\nOne of the great benefits of a group health plan, like one you’d get through work, is that they offer more protection (under federal HIPAA and state regulations) and it’s easier for you to be accepted. For example, if you have insurance through work, develop a medical condition, and switch jobs, you have to be accepted by your new health plan and you can count the time you were with your old plan against any waiting period required under your new plan. Also, group health plans give you more for your money.\n\nWhen I was younger, I went to only to non-routine doctors visit in more than 10 years, so financially I would have been better off with more money in my pocket and a less robust health plan. However, there is peace of mind that comes with quality medical protection.\n\nMostChoice.com has a free and easy way to find out all about health insurance.

I don't think there is a max age as long as there are no mental or medical problems that would hinder you sitting on a jury

If you are in the states, you should call your health care service and find out.  Even with Blue Cross, there are tiers of service depending on your contract (or your employer's contract).  You need to find out from them directly.  Good luck!

Over 50 plans are all well and good, however most do not offer full cover until you have been a Member for over 24 months. If you die before that time you only get your premiums back, not the life sum assured.\nCall a financial Adviser to ask about your own individual requirements. The first consultation is usually free and without obligation (they will tell you over the phone ). He /She may be able to suggest a better option as they can research the whole market not just one company. Good luck

By law hospitals have to give life saving care even if the patient cannot pay.  There are already low cost health clinics all over the place.  People have the option of medical bankruptcy which does not effect their credit rating.  So pretty much those 45 million should start thinking of taking care of themselves in my opinion.\n\nAnd out of that 45 million, how many actually need insurance.  That s just 15% of the population, does a healthy 25 year old really need full coverage?  How many of those are exercising their right not to buy insurance even though it is available?  These are numbers that are not represented in a blanket number.

This depends on your age.  For me, single policy age of 35 to 40 with Blue Cross, 2500 deductible is $141.00 per month.  PPO can go to any doctor accepting patients.

Very very hard, not only in Ohio but any state for that matter.  Of course it is always a matter of money, which in your case can become totally out unless you have millions.  Contact Blue Cross/Blue Shield or simiar in Ohio for guidance and more IMPORTANT contact your state Department of Health.  In most states there is a set up that provides "private" health insurance through a pool for people that have conditions not acceptable through the regular companies....of course its expensive.  In most cases they are set up by a pool of health insurance companies.  For example Texas has that set up.

It all depends on the state in which you live.  Blue Cross is aways a good reliable but Golden Rule is a good company also.  The latest thing in health insurance is called medical savings accounts.  Find a local agent and talk to them

There is a small mathematical calculation. \n220-Your age(Years)=Maximum heart rate

Yes, you will have to pay premiums during the exclusionary waiting period. You’ll still be covered during this period, just not for your pre-existing condition. Make sure, however, that your insurance will not cover your condition. Your health plan might be more accommodating than you think and recent changes in the law have reduced exclusionary periods and in some cases (pregnancy) redefined what constitutes a pre-existing condition. Keep in mind that these changes are largely for group health plans.\n\nHope this helps,\nBarnes@MostChoice\nhttp://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm

If you went into the E.R as far as I know they can not turn you down.... They can make you wait forever and a day, but they can't turn you down.\n\nAnd most good hospitals work out payment plans for people with out insurance.
