Well Salpro22, I have heard that healthcare system in Australia is pretty sound compared to the rest of the developed nations. Even I have reasons to believe the Canadian Govt. is taking further steps to ensure that healthcare costs are cheaper before they can make it mandatory for all. I'm sure you'd rectify me if I'm going wrong

Ohio HI already did an outstanding job about discussing some excellent points , so I don't have much to add.
What specifically have you heard that makes Australia's health care system sound? The ONLY way to help ensure that health care costs go down is to open it up to the free market, let competition and supply/demand take over, get rid of all mandates and require that people take responsibility for their actions and irresponsibility.
I do what I can to help people everyday and gladly walk through uninsured people about their options. I have noticed a consistent theme from the stats I have gathered regarding scheduling people to sign up for a health plan OR have a 20 minute public assistance 101 discussion. Overall, people do what they say and attend the meeting, some buy and some don't. That's fine because I'm not pushy and don't need or want to chase people down like some other agents.
However, the people who failed to attend the meeting and would not reply back to any of my follow up e-mails, messages, etc. STILL had not done anything 3-6 months down the road and said "I'll get around to it." People who want to be successful or are successful do not wait to get around to it. They do it! Some people just do not want help and that is the reality of things.
Some people genuinely need help and I think we should help them. However, I have no patience for somebody who leases a Mercedes, drinks Starbucks coffee everyday and tells me that they cannot afford insurance, but wants me to pay for their share out of my 60-80 hour work weeks. No thank you, my competition can have those clients.
Mostly every other country that has universal health care offers "buy-up" options for the people who have the means to pay for higher quality care, as well as for the impatient and proactive people who will pay more for convenience and accessibility.
Perform a search on google for John Goodman and read some of his material. That is a smart man!
I look forward to your response. _________________ You can catch me here: insurancesaleslibrary.blogspot.com
I do not think we will ever have a National Health program. I believe there will be a series of tax credits designed to encourage people to buy health coverage.
Of course...I believed that Butler would win tonight and they didn't.
I am fortunate enough to have really good health care through my employer, I pay a premium for it, but it covers just about everything. My co pays are a little more on newer medications but other than that it is pretty good.
Some states guarantee you coverage...regardless of your health. Maryland (see below) has a great plan.
Plan Overview
When you enroll in the Maryland Health Insurance Plan, you have a choice of one of four Plan benefit options:
HMO Plan
PPO Plan with $500 medical deductible
PPO Plan with $1,000 medical deductible
High Deductible Health Plan with $2,600 combined medical and pharmacy deductible
If you have a limited income, you may be eligible for MHIP+. Whether applying for MHIP for the first time or already enrolled, you must complete a separate MHIP+ Application.
An explanation of each of these benefit options is outlined in the MHIP Application Booklet.
A detailed explanation of the plan's coverage is contained in the Certificate of Coverage.
