Does Alaska have free medical insurance?

Oregon has OHP (Oregon Health Plan) for low income people, does anyone know if Alaska does? I can't find it through google. I know they have Danali childrens insurance.


the only program is Denali Kid Care for children whose parents are considered low-income. Go to the State of Alaska website and it should be under Health and Human Services.


"I moved from Arizona to Oregon, now I am being sued for an unpaid medical bill from the hospital in Arizona"

When I had my youngest, I had no medical insurance. I paid off the doctors, and paid about $620 towards my hospital bill, but when the monthly payments started to get too hard for me to make, the hospital stopped working with me. I moved to Oregon, and have not heard from the hospital or the collection agent at all until I was served papers that the hospital is suing for the $3200 balance of the bill, plus 9% annual interest, and legal fees. I have no idea what to do. They suit says they contacted me, but the summons even has the wrong address on it! I don't know what to do. I would like to set up a payment plan, as my husband and I are making better money now and would be better able to afford it, but I don't know how to respond to the summons.


Unfortunetly, you should have inquired as to whether the hospitabl had assistance. There is something called the Hill Burton act and all hopsitals I believe offer it but you have to ask about it. I would ask them about it now because they are sure not going to tell you about it.

I did once, had to fill out a bunch of paperwork and submit paystubs but that took care of my whole hospital.

You need to find out what the statute of limitations is in your state as it may have run out and the hospital will not be able to sue you if that is the case.

Lastly, if none of the above helps, contact your local congressman and tell them about your situation and they can and will help you. That is the one of the reasons they are there.

Good Luck

How can I locate a professional to provide a medical disability assessment for an insurance settlement?

I need to find an independent, qualified person/service to provide expert testimony for an insurance settlement case. Specifically, to provide an assessment of the nature, extent, and prognosis of injuries I sustained in an auto accident - with the possibility of using this information if the case goes to court. I have looked online for "disability assessments", "disability profiles", etc., but am not finding anything in my local area (Portland, Oregon). Any suggestions?


if you are going to court, you had best find an attorney, it's his job to find you an expert witness.

Losing job for first time a painful experience

Behind the latest unemployment figures showing another 500,000-plus Americans lost their jobs is a sad truth: The deeper the recession becomes, the more it touches people whose livelihoods have never been threatened by dark financial times.

Now the employment line includes workers who've never lost a job before and always believed experience and hard work would protect them.

Many of them are shocked and depressed — or stuck in denial. And they must confront the worst job market since the end of World War II.

Some say they will take any kind of work, no matter what it pays or where it is. Others hope they can somehow squeak by on unemployment insurance. A despairing, middle-aged man in Pennsylvania toyed with the idea of killing himself in a way that would allow his wife and daughter to collect on his life insurance policy.

In interviews across the country, the newly jobless contemplated their futures in these uncertain times.

But one December morning, after she had just printed a stack of orders at the North Carolina distributor of computer components, the tables turned for the first time in her working life.
