2. What is the difference between public health and community health?

A. Public health looks at everyone from all over. We (I'm an epidemiologist) are concerned with things that may be coming down the pike and hit all of us (like bird flu, etc.). Community health mostly involves doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals that tailor interventions to a particular community's needs, and they generally don't plan out for the bigger picture, although they do a heck a job in their locales, since they know it better.

3. How does health insurance work in Medical School?

It depends on what state you are in, but generally speaking, the only advantage of a school plan is that it is guaranteed issue. Most school sponsored policies are limited benefit ($50,000 or so) and your primary care provider is the campus clinic. The cost is in addition to tuition, and if you are like most of us, added on to your student loan. The advantage to an individual plan is that you own the policy - not the university, or for that matter not your employer either. When you graduate you will still have insurance. An individual policy probably costs less as well. Don http://mtnhealthinsurance.com

4. What is the difference between Health Insurance and Health care Program?

A health care program is usually a maintenance program - it doesn't usually cover major medical issues, such as you coming down with cancer. But you'll have to read the fine print on the program itself, to see what is and is not covered. THEN you have to figure out which doctors work in the program, and how long/hard it is to get in to see them.

5. What health care coverage does a congressman have? What happens to it when they leave office?

They have a 100 percent covered plan for them and their families for life (assuming they serve at least 6 years), along with an excellent pension plan for life. They will care about the crisis if it is something the voters want! After all, if they are not acting in the interest of the voters, they will lose their seat and their health care plan. Unfortunately, there is so much disagreement between the left and the right that it is difficult for congress to do anything. In addition, many people (even those who truly need health care reforms) vote based on moral values, leaving health care to be ignored.

8. How does health insurance work in the US?

You've asked a very broad question. There is no simple answer. In truth, health insurance works a little differently in each state. To answer your specific questions: 1) No, health insurance is not compulsory for everyone. If you're lucky, you are able to join a group policy at work. (If you're really lucky, it's a good policy and the employer pays at least half of it.) Some states have recently made it compulsory, but that's such a recent change that there's no clear cut answer yet for how that's going to work. 2) What happens if someone can't afford it is... they don't get it, usually. Except if your income puts you below the poverty level, in which case you qualify for Medicaid. (In some states there are programs that typically provide assistance with insuring children, though they are few and far between for covering adults.) 3) Health insurance rarely covers all the bills when you have a procedure done. Most plans cover 50-80% after you meet your deductible. The deductible amounts vary widely (but the trend is that the deductibles are getting higher and higher to keep the premiums down.) If you're really, REALLY lucky, you don't have a deductible (which is only an option on group plans), and you may only have to pay 10% of covered charges. (These plans are few and far between. As in, you might have them if you're in Congress.) 4) Yes, the patient has some say over procedures. However, if the patient opts for an experimental procedure, or one that isn't deemed medically necessary, then health insurance may refuse to cover any charges at all. In the end, as with most things, the middle class takes the brunt of these costs. This has become such a problem that more than 50% of all bankruptcies are as a result of medical bills (and of those, more than 75% had health insurance.) ** Edited to add: It's not ALL about the money when a procedure is involved. If it is, the state keeps track of complaints filed on behalf of consumers with managed care (ie. any type of network arrangement including Preferred Provider Organizations, Health Maintenance Organizations, and Point of Service organizations -- also known as PPO, HMO, and POS) and may very well revoke a company's charter to do business in the state should the company be turning down too many legitimate claims. However, insurance companies are sticklers for following the standard for medical care. This is what makes it difficult to answer your question. Because they should not deny anything that's considered standard for care in the given circumstances (should not and will not being two completely different things, of course.) And there may be several options that would be considered standard. If the patient wants treatment that isn't yet considered standard, they would balk. Period.

Multiple member LLC's can be taxed 3 different ways: 1. As a partnership 2. As a C corporation 3. As an S Corporation The deductability of health insurance premiums for your LLC will depend on which of the 3 types of entities your LLC elected to be taxed at (the default is the partnership form of taxation). Typically, you will be able to deduct 100% of your health insurance premiums although there are some specials considerations for owner/officers of S Corporations who own more than 2% of the company.

Check your domestic health insurance (if any) and bank (if you have a premium type account); the might include travel insurance.

20. Are health insurance premiums that I pay and are deducted from my paycheck paid with after-tax dollars?

Premiums are tax deductable as a part of your medical expenses if you are filing long form. You add up every co-pay you made to doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions and the total cost you paid for these premiums and then you get a percent of that total back on your taxes. Anything that you paid for any type of health care is deductable as long as you have a receipt (or in the case of health premiums you pay) they are on the W2.
