Question by Average Joe: Will president Obama make the health plan of members of congress available to all americans?
I’m a little confused about Obama’s health care plan. Now that he’s the next president I’d like someone to explain his health care plan to me like you would explain it to a 4-year old. I read that he wants to create some kind of a National Health Insurance Exchange which sounds a little strange to me (I hope I’m the only one?). How would this make health care more affordable?

We’ll never have national health care….presidents have tried it for years.

I hope he does something, but you must realize that America pays more per capita than ANY OTHER COUNTRY for providing healthcare to people. We will never fix the healthcare issue until we fix the illegal immigrant issue. We are insuring 40 million illegals right now..how are we to afford all of the legal citizens when our money is now going to insure illegal immigrants. I read an article recently that said in California alone, way back in 1994, we spent almost 300 million dollars just on births of babies born to Illegals…almost 74K births. I would hate to see what the numbers are in 2008. We have free healthcare, but it’s going to illegal immigrants right now. In California, if you are low income, you can sign up for medical, or basic adult healthcare, and kids get free through medical. We also have a program where you can buy insurance based on your income.

I’m worried if he implements his healthcare plan, my family might lose their insurance through our employer because our employer will know we can buy it on our own through the government….which we really can’t afford to do for 5 people.

The healthcare issue will not be fixed for many years, until all of our money stops going to support illegal immigrants. Even when you can buy it under an Obama plan…you will still have to BUY it!

People-Powered Healthcare Plan vs. State-run, federally-controlled Exchange

There’s a new, exciting alternative to the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act Health Insurance Exchange (federal OR state-run)! It reintroduces competition to the health care industry. Why create a hugely expensive state-federal bureaucracy with 1000s of new state and federal employees driving up health insurance cost when simply reintroducing competition will actually drive prices down?

Boise, ID (PRWEB) August 15, 2012

After listening to the needs of cat owners from across the nation, Pets Best Insurance, the very company that was founded by US pet health insurance pioneer, Dr. Jack Stephens, has launched a low cost feline-only illness cat insurance plan to help cat owners provide the best veterinary care to their pets.

Pets Best Insurance has offered pet insurance plans to both cats and dogs since 2005, but this feline-only illness plan is the first of its kind, in that it only covers costly feline illnesseswhereas the standard plans cover both illness and accidents.

While pet insurance is certainly increasing in popularity, were not seeing cat owners insure their pets at the same rate as dog owners, Dr. Stephens said. Weve been told the reason is because our standard plan coverage was almost too comprehensive for indoor-only cats. Cat owners primary worry seems to be cat-specific illnessesand so the Feline Illness plan was born.

Dr. Stephens said premium cost is another thing Pets Best Insurance took into consideration, and that the average Feline Illness plan starts at just a few dollars a month, depending on the deductible selected.

We wanted to provide an affordable introductory pet insurance for cat owners to help cover higher vet costs associated with the more-expensive illnesses that are entirely out of the cat owners control, he said.

Some of the most expensive feline illnesses covered include, cancer, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, chronic renal failure and pancreatitis, just to name a few.

Dr. Stephens said cat insurance is of particular importance because unlike dogs, cats tend to instinctually hide illness and injury from their owners.

Before you know it, your cat could be very sick, he said. If you have cat insurance you can take them into the vet early on without worrying about the vet bill.

The Feline Illness plan covers over 20 feline illnesses and reimburses cat owners up to a $ 4,000 annual limit per year, and up to a $ 10,000 lifetime limit. While the plan does not cover all feline illnesses, disease or accidents, Pets Best Insurance thinks the coverage is extremely comprehensive and will help even more pet owners protect their beloved pets.

We still recommend our standard plans for cats that include coverage for illness and accidents. However, if a feline owner on a tighter budget wants a plan that covers a good majority of the severe or chronic cat diseases; our Feline Illness plan will be the answer.

Dr. Stephens said owners of indoor-only cats sometimes think their cats are safer. But illnesses like cancer, kidney disease and diabetes are rampant in cats and treatment for these conditions can be thousands of dollars.

Cat illness coverage seemed like an obvious necessity and it was something that was lacking in the industry until now.

Cat owners can get a free quote at http://www.petsbest.com and purchase online or over the phone. While pet insurance premiums are based on age, location and breed, the feline illness only plans start as low as $ 4 a month.

As of August 7, 2012 the Feline Illness plan is available in the following states: ID, MT, WY, UT, AZ, NV, CA, NE, TX, IA, MO, AR, TN, MS, AL, SC, WI, MI, OH, WV, PA, DE, RI, ND, SD and VT

Yeah i spelled macgee wrong its magee! Jasper county Mississippi! This is a hostage vdeo of Jeffrey Magee similar to the Bloomberg hostage video! He seems to telling us this information under diress from the oppresive republicans behind him! He is not telling you the truth or facts either! He does occaisionally tell a truth but the reality is that If the whole country had free health care we would not need medicare! Also he says that they will replace medicare with vouchers to buy your own insurance. They dont say that the vouchers will only cover 1/3 of the cost of your private insurance. Way more then you would have ever paid in medicare copayments! Instead of having a healthy retirement you will have a suffering and indignant retirement. Talk about those death panels! The entire republican party is the death panel and if you are not privlidged or wealthy like them then you will suffer! They will also continue to tax you for medicare as well! So make this the year to vote for the future of our country and our people! DO NOT GIVE CONTROL BACK TO THE PEOPLE WHO GOT US IN THIS POSITION! Get out and vote!!! I know medicare is in trouble! After all there where many years of the republicans that have raided the medicare funds to pay off other unrelated crap to balance their budget! dont forget to email jeffreymagee1@hotmail.com I believe this is the guy here although it is a few years ago.

Buffett Rule, Tax Reform Law, Greek Debt Crisis, Health Care Plan, Cap and Trade, Dodd-Frank (2012)

thefilmarchive.org February 21, 2012 The Greek government-debt crisis is one of a number of current European sovereign-debt crises. Beginning in late 2009, fears of a sovereign debt crisis developed among investors concerning Greece’s ability to meet its debt obligations due to strong increase in government debt levels.[1][2][3] This led to a crisis of confidence, indicated by a widening of bond yield spreads and the cost of risk insurance on credit default swaps compared to the other countries in the eurozone, most importantly Germany.[4][5] The downgrading of Greek government debt to junk bond status in April 2010 created alarm in financial markets. On 2 May 2010, the eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed on a €110 billion bailout loan for Greece, conditional on the implementation of austerity measures. In October 2011, Eurozone leaders agreed to offer a second €130 billion bailout loan for Greece, conditional not only the implementation of another austerity package, but also that all private creditors holding Greek government bonds should sign a deal accepting a 53.5% facevalue loss. This proposed restructure of all Greek public debt held by private creditors, which constituted a 58% share of the total Greek public debt, would according to the bailout plan reduce the overall public debt burden with roughly €110 billion. A debt relief equal to a lowering of the debt-to-GDP ratio from a forecasted 198% in 2012 down to roughly 160% in 2012

Question by : What health care plan can two of us purchase which will cover our medical needs and not have outrageous?
premiums? I believe we may be eligible to continue our current coverages with Kaiser when my spouse retires, but the premium will be $ 1200 monthly. What can we do to get affordable health care? We both have preexisting conditions, and although we are healthy, it makes health care almost out of our reach, when we both have conditions which require several visits to health care providers annually.

Best answer:

Answer by Flower
Kaiser Senior Advantage begins at age 65. It around $ 100 a month plus your Part B Medicare monthly premiums. If you retire before age 65 you would have an individual plan. I suggest contacting an insurance agent and finding out what insurance and what plans are available in your state.
