My...thanks ladies for your thoughts on health care! My parents have looked into doing the christian health care, but my dad thought for right now we would stick with our military health insurance until Beth and I if not married need it when we are over 21. I was just curious what others do who do not have military health insurance. <br /><br />thank you again for you kind thoughts!<br /><br />In Christ,<br />RebeccaRebecca Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738945951713645411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-80881546781743181892010-12-16T20:19:18.950-08:002010-12-16T20:19:18.950-08:00I know quite a few families opting for Medi-Share ...I know quite a few families opting for Medi-Share (Christian Care Medical Sharing) instead of traditional insurance who are really enjoying the change.<br /><br />Premiums are lower because of the strict requirements that members live a Christian lifestyle (ie: they are less likely to smoke or drink, more likely to use herbals or homeopathy for common ailments rather than going to the dr for every thing). It's kind of like a medical sharing fund, plus it's one of (I think) 5 medical sharing type companies whose members are exempt from being forced to buy insurance, per the healthcare law. (At least as it originally stood -- I think they're working on changing that now....?)<br /><br />-AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667478386555369846.post-65692409897278769692010-12-16T07:00:45.154-08:002010-12-16T07:00:45.154-08:00The new health care bill requires insurers to cove...The new health care bill requires insurers to cover children on their parents' plans until age 24 or 26, I think. That part of the bill already went into effect. Maybe military insurance is exempt, and if your parents have that they don't have to cover you? Not sure. When I graduated from college but didn't have coverage from my job yet, I used Aetna for my insurance. Your state may also have a low-cost insurance program for your type of situation. Or you could just keep your fingers crossed for universal healthcare!Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948040806188798496noreply@blogger.com
