One of the things that you need to understand is that in many people’s eyes, private health insurance is best.

Last Wednesday, Jan. 19, the United States House of Representatives voted 245-189 to repeal the nation’s individual health insurance reform law, the Affordable Care Act. While a full repeal is not expected, we should see a number of congressional hearings on the topic over the next few months.

The Affordable Care Act extended to insured group health plans the non-discrimination provisions found in the Internal Revenue Code, which previously had been applicable only to self-insured group plans. Effective for Plan Years which begin after Sept. 23, 2010, non-grandfathered health insurance plans are prohibited from discriminating in favor of highly compensated employees, and a penalty is imposed of $100 per day per participant on plans that discriminate.

Traditional health insurance is generally viewed as long term health insurance. Meaning you enroll in an insurance plan, either through work, school or independently, and you have it for longer than a year. But what if you need insurance for shorter than a year? Maybe to cover some gaps? There is a perfect option for you.

Short term health insurance could also be called transitional insurance. Recent college grads have an unknown amount of time between graduation and a job offer. If they are receiving student health insurance, that will expire once the diploma hits their hand (or gets mailed to them, but you get the picture). While some grads are lucky enough to transition easily into their first real job, some are not so lucky.

In Texas health insurance, a recently released joint study by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of Insurance that examines the consequences of the state losing Medicaid funding leaves little doubt that Medicaid withdrawal would harm the state economically. It would also deprive poor, elderly and disabled people of access to health care, likely raise property taxes, rob the state of tax revenue, and lead to increases in insurance premiums. Several conservative Republicans, including Gov. Rick Perry, had broached the idea of Texas opting out of Medicaid to help solve the state’s budget gap. T

What your health insurance company might not tell you is that if you live a healthy lifestyle, you can actually save money.

“Healthy” is like a plague word during the holidays. It seems like 12 months worth of treats and fatty foods is packed into one month. Starting with Thanksgiving, Americans begin the overeating holidays. Some reports state that on average, an adult eats more than 4,500 extra calories on Thanksgiving. Forty-five hundred!
That’s definitely enough to put another notch in your belt.

To ensure you don’t throw your body through the holiday ringer, it is important to stick to some healthy holiday eating plans and exercise. Eating

Connecticut health insurance : The Department of Insurance has submitted its package of proposed legislation for 2011 providing a clear indication of the Department’s current priorities. The package would have to be approved (and/or amended) by the next Administration before any proposed legislation is submitted to the legislature in January. Many of the proposals are re-introductions of bills considered in past years that failed to survive the process. However, some new proposals warrant close review:

• PPACA authority: This language would adopt PPACA and future changes in their entirety. Once rules are finalized, specific provisions can be drafted in the future. <

Health insurance companies are reluctant to offer child only health insurance policies under The Obama administration and new health law. The Affordable Care Act also know as Obama Care, states that all future plans in the individual health insurance market for children age 18 and younger cannot deny coverage to children who have pre-existing conditions.

Some insurers decided to stop quoting and writing new business in the child-only market because of concerns that parents would not quote and enroll children until they get sick. Insurers can charge higher rates for children, which is not prohibited by the Affordable Care Act but is permitted by state law.
