idlenessss asked: Since capitolism is based on the concept that competition mixed with supply and demand will motivate compainies to maximize their efficiency and innovation, would it not seem that health insurance, whereby the person receiving the service is not actually required to pay the bill, would prevent hospitals from caring about havign a reasonable price fortheir service, or for operating efficiently? (sorry for the long sentence) Since hospitals are plentiful, would not simple free market economy work with with medicine in the US, and force prices to drop the a reasonable amount that people can actually afford, as it does with food, shelter, and all the other necesities that benefit from the superior free market economy? Could solving the problems of health care in the US be as simple as eliminating all health insurance companies?

simy83 asked: I am currently under a foreign policy from my homecountry and I need to sign up for health insurance in the US. My employer is willing to sponser me. However, I am not eligible for a group plan because my only other coworker is insured thru his wife. Is there an individual policy out there that allows me to have the premium taken out of my paycheck pre-tax? Also, any hints on how get a good deal on health insurance without getting hundreds of calls from agents? I already turned my phone off.

Dane C asked: I’m a successful part time entrepreneur in California, but I maintain my day job because of the group health insurance they offer. I’d like to cut the apron string and go out completely on my own, but the insurance situation holds these plans hostage.
I don’t want to buy private health insurance, I would like to structure my one man business so that I can easily purchase group health insurance for myself and family. I’d like to purchase group insurance as opposed to private insurance so that I don’t have to deal with preexisting conditions and riders, etc. Since I’m still a sole proprietor, I have plenty of leeway in regards to business structure, and I’m willing to change whatever is necessary to get the best deal possible.
How can I get health insurance for myself and family and pay for it as business expense without employees?

l.miller008 asked: My sister is 6 months pregnant and just found out from her work today that her health care insurance is going to be cancelled this week because she is not making enough hours for her to keep her coverage. Is there anyway around this? Or any suggestions? She is married but her husband cannot add her to his coverage until enrollment period which is after her due date. He also makes to much to have medicade.
