stuckincincy Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Most, if not all, States require that health insurance companies in their State require that coverage be offered for folks with pre-existing conditions. From time to time in OH, companies buy space in newspaper classified ad sections, about enrollment in these mandated offerings. Humana and Anthem are two of the companies allowed to do business in OH. Today, Community Insurance Company dba Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield published. And indeed, pre-existing conditions are covered: ..."Current health status and prioi medical history will not affect the membership application during this enrollment perios except when an applicant is confined to a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or other health care facility because of chronic illness, permanent injury, or other similar infirmities that would affect economical impairment to the Plan."... Here are their monthly rates: $763.26 to $2,066.38 for single contracts. $2,117.80 to $4,318.93 for family contracts. Note that these payer rates are after subsidies extracted from OH taxpayers. The current OH enrollment in this program is about 1,400 people. I'd add something. OH, like all States, has a "Health Insurance Board". They decide who can vend their wares. Who can compete, who cannot. Another health insurance company based in another state, has to dance attendance to this small group of people, to be "allowed" to offer plans to Ohioans. So much for competition being allowed in the interest of reducing costs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Incompetent. President. Ever. Most incompetent? You must be a parrot. Millard Fillmore was pretty bad.....Jimmy Carter and George W Bush can go on that list. But the parrots and sheeple in this country are too flat out stupid to vote for anything other than a donkey or an elephant.

TheMadCap Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The "public option" died last night and nobody knows if illegal immigrants are covered. If they are given "protected worker rights (amnesty)" they cease to become "illegal" right? hmmmmm.... Just thought I'd stir up the pot a bit! teehee!
