Yes...CHIP is considered public assistance.  But if will not count against you.  There is no monetary gain.

It isn't very simple.  They are compensation and that is it.  It is their special tax status that should be what you consider in terms of social implications.  Because of abuse, Congress has seen fit to regulate the plans, but has in effect determined the possible range of compensation programs available.  There are probably plans that could exist, but do not because they are outside the regulations.  Likewise, there is definitely broader access to health care due to Congressional activity.  Importantly, it has freed the sick from being forced to reamin with a specific employer, allowing them to go to the most productive work available.  You should read the background of the Heinz Company, the inventor of employee benefits.  You should also get a comparitive look at cross-cultural plans and expectations.  They do reduce individual responsibility by placing choice burdens on the back of employers.

Stars or not, a myriad laws protect children. The specifics depend on where you live.

I work in a clinic similar to PP. All you will need to do iis be interviewed in private. The person will ask simply: age, income, have you had sterilization surgery (you would then not qualify for free services)\nPlease trust me: you are not the only one in your shoes. The government set this up so that people in your situation could protect themselves against STD's and pregnancy. Go ahead make the appointment, ask then if you need proof of income (which I belive they won't).\nI used PP when I was 17 and could not go to my family MD (for fear of my mom being informed/billed). \nFurthermore, theproviders are used to people of all ages from 11 upward. and we have seen everything..\n\nPlease remember protecting yourself is way more important than being "embarrassed".

I'm not sure if there are specific plans for people of Cuban Heritage but Free Health Care is available for children from families who meet financial guidelines.

check your local childrens hospital, we use to have a pediatric dentist when I worked there.  He took cases like yours.  And the hospital had programs to help cover the part that insurance didnt.  We had to fit a 7 year old for dentures once after he had the last of his teeth pulled.

I think it should be an informed, adult choice, not enforced on another person's body, especially children by others unless for medical reasons as you say.

Look in the phone book, call your insurance company, or ask your pediatrician for a referral.  Go to your county health department and they have some on staff that are free or on a sliding scale payment.

Sure, they pay the same taxes as anyone else. In fact some states have added taxes to tobacco products to help defer the medical cost related to smoking.\n\nYou would have a hard time excluding people from health benefits, simply because of lifestyle choices. If we started that what next? Would we then have to exclude a person from heart surgery because they ate fast food everyday? Would we exclude benefits for drug/alcohol rehabs? Or how about about a person that needs treatment  for tendinitis that came about from an exercise program? These are all lifestyle choices good or bad. If we start to pick and chose who is eligible and who is not, wouldn't that sort of be playing God?

the state itself may be technically immune but i'm 99.9% sure that it would be unconstituional for ohio to have any such law granting immunity to cities and schools. \n\nbesides, the school wouldn't have an insurance policy were they to have such immunity from suit.\n\na lawyer in ohio who specializes in civil rights could answer this question right off the bat. also, most any lawyer that deals with personal injury there could also answer it because i'm sure they deal with government injury torts all the time.

As long as you are enrolled and full-time for part of the year, you should be fine, although the surest way is to call and confirm with your insurance company. State laws are becoming more relaxed when it comes to who is considered a dependent, in terms of health insurance. In Colorado, for example, there is a proposal that would make it possible for you to continue to be on your grandparent’s policy. If you can’t remain on your mother’s policy, your school probably has a student health plan you can enroll in.\n\nIf it turns out that you need health insurance for yourself, try MostChoice.com. You fill out a form, look at online quotes, and within 48 hours locally licensed health insurance agents will contact you to talk about what you need and what you can spend. Ask them about Tonik health insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield or Sound from UniCare. Both target people your age and included preventive vision and dental care in their plans.\n\nYou can visit MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nHope this helps,\nBarnes@MostChoice

Your PAP will usually cover for your liability to others as primary and your neighbors policy would be excess.Your neighbor if he has an auto policy will be covered for medical under his own policy first then yours would be excess for medical.Again these are some general rules which may or may not apply to your state.

Nope. I am from Ohio and a friend of mine tried to get his fiance on his insurance and was not allowed until they were married. You have to be married to be able to be inclued on your partners insurance.
