Does anyone know what the income bracket is for state medical insurance (Forward Card) in Wisconsin?

Sep 13, 2007 by ♥countrygal♥ | Posted in Other - Business & Finance

What is the most you can make and still receive medical and child care benefits

The office that provides the forms to apply, like here it's Family Services, should tell you that info. It's public information, as it's funded with your state's citizen's monies. You may also try to find their website, as the forms or applications process is probably online and it may also just say the income limits.

Medical Insurance for Green Card Holders?

Sep 06, 2007 by DM | Posted in Immigration

My parents recently received Green Card . Father is 70 years old and Mother is 63 years old. They are currently on visitors insurance that will soon expire . We are moving to California next month from Wisconsin . Are there any state sponsored medical benefits available to them in California based on their Green Card status. Any help is greatly appreciated.

They have not worked in US ever as they have just immigrated to US and with their ages I dont think that they will be working.They have been here for last 6 months only.

1. Because of thier age( above 65 yrs)they don't qualify for domestic insurance.
2. They dont qualify for Medicare as well since they have not worked in USA.
( Person must have worked at least 40 Qtrs. to qualify for medicare.)
However you may Buy Medicare from Govt.

3. In california , you may apply for Medical. But there are some strict criteria for income and residency etc.

Mean time you may buy a good short term Visitor Medical Plan for immigrants

What are the best/ cheapest private health insurance providers in wisconsin?

Aug 25, 2008 by guest123451 | Posted in Insurance

23 yr old male, good health
medical, dental, and vision plans?
Thanks!

Best / Cheapest are opposing goals. When you are paying the premiums you want the cheapest plan you can get. But if your health falters you want the finest coverage money can buy. As everything else in life you can't have both simultaneousy.

Ultimately, you are the one who determines the affordability of your health insurance plan by deciding how much you will participate in sharing the cost of your health care with your insurance company.

If you choose a plan that covers everything i.e. doctors office visits, prescription drugs, preventative health benefits, optional dental and vision plans as well as low deductibles and low copays your monthly premiums will be significant.

On the other hand because you are young and healthy and presumably rarely use the health care system you could consider a plan that covers only the major health catastrophe which will result in a relatively low monthly premium. You then can use the monthly premium savings to pay for the occasional doctor visit and still come out ahead.

You need a trusted adviser to help you through the process of purchasing health insurance so that you understand what you are purchasing. That adviser can answer questions as to what is and is not covered by the policy, explain deductibles and copays and show you the hospitals and doctors that participate in the network. Check with the agent that writes your home or auto insurance he/she can provide you a health insurance proposal that takes into account your budget and health situation.

Some may suggest going on line to get a quote but you probably already know that there is much more to health insurance than price. Even worse, some will "pitch" a discount plan that is not even. Use the Internet to educate yourself but use an agent to purchase the coverage.

Newly unemployed often can't afford to continue health insurance - Capital Times

09.01.09


No wonder the growing ranks of the unemployed are also rapidly becoming the growing ranks of the uninsured, according to a report released Friday by Families USA , a Washington-based consumer advocacy organization that focuses on health care reform.

In November 2008, 10.3 million people, or 6.8 percent of the population, were unemployed in the U.S. In Wisconsin, the unemployment rate jumped 1 percent from the previous year to 5.3 percent.

The U.S. Department of Labor reported Friday morning that the number of unemployed increased to 11.1 million in December for an unemployment rate of 7.2 percent.

At last national count in 2007, 46 million people lacked health insurance. In Wisconsin in 2007, 489,000 people lacked health insurance for part or all of the previous year. A rule of thumb is that for every 1 percentage point increase in the jobless rate, the number of people lacking health insurance jumps by 1.1 percent.
