What can you do about an employer who hires and fires when he is about to be hit up for medical insurance?

Jun 29, 2007 by TRISHA M | Posted in Other - US Local Businesses

This company hires people and doesnt offer benefits. But there is a certain number of employees you can have and not offer insurance. When the time comes for his company to be looked at and these men to get benefits he fires just enough men to not have to keep insurance. I need to know who I can report this kind of poor leadership to in the state of Louisiana? My fiance has been with this company for two years now and we relocated from Houston, TX so he could work for this company. And I havent had experience with this kind of disrespect before. Any info will help.

First try the better business bureau in your state or
inquire at your state attorney general's website. They can point you in the right direction about what, if anything can be done. In my state the AG's office answers e-mails within about 24 hours.

How often can you refill medication without insurance?

Nov 05, 2007 by .:.curious like a cat.:. | Posted in Pain & Pain Management

I have severe migraines and I left my pain medicine in Florida...I live in Louisiana. I also don't have medical insurance, and I just filled my rx about 2 weeks ago. Can I refill it already since it's not restricted by my insurance anymore?? (I used to have insurance and I could only refill once a month)...help!!

The determining factor on refilling prescreptions is on the bottle - the number of refills that the prescribing doctor has stated may be made. Insurance is not a factor if you can pay for the scrip. It's whether or not there are refills open on the scrip. Some controlled substances - particularly painkillers - are prescribed with few if any refills. Look on your prescription bottle and, at the bottom right-hand corner of the label, you should see something that says "X refills left." If refill remain, you can get another refill without another prescription.

Unemployed squeezed on health insurance

09.01.09

WASHINGTON (AP) — Newly unemployed Americans will have to spend about 30 percent of their jobless benefits on average to pay for health insurance through their former employer, according to a new report.

And if they want coverage for their families, the report by Families USA says it will take more than 80 percent of their unemployment check.

Unemployment hit a 16-year high last month as another 524,000 jobs were cut. For all of 2008, government says the economy lost a net total of 2.6 million jobs.

When workers lose their jobs, they are usually eligible to maintain their health insurance coverage through their old employer if they pay the premiums, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. The benefit is referred to as COBRA insurance, because of the law that established it.

As part of his economic stimulus package, President-elect Barack Obama is proposing to spend about $80 billion dollars to extend unemployment benefits and to subsidize health care for people who have lost their jobs.
