Georgia Health Plans Get Tax Breaks
Several new Georgia state laws become law as we ring in the new year today. Among these new laws is one which will eliminate both state and local taxes for Georgia health insurers who offer high-deductible health insurance plans. The tax break will save insurance companies an estimated $146 Million over 5 years. The idea behind the law is that it will ultimately save the Georgia Government money as a proliferation of high-deductible health plans will provide coverage for the estimated 1.7million Georgia residents who lack health insurance and end up costing the state money, however critics of the plan question whether this law will do anything to reduce the number of uninsured.

I am looking for vermont health care insurances
You have many choices for health care insurance in Vermont. First determine which type of insurance you are in need of. When selecting an insurance plan, carefully consider the monthly costs (premiums), out-of-pocket expenses including copayments and deductibles, and what benefits are covered. Health insurance plans differ widely in the variety of services they cover and the way they cover them.
HMOs--Health Maintenance Organizations-are prepaid health plans in which patients receive care from a specified group of doctors, clinics, or hospitals. The HMO receives a fixed fee for your covered medical care, and they provide basic preventive care as well as treatment for health problems before they become serious illnesses.
PPOs--Preferred Provider Organizations-allow you to see any doctor anytime, but seeing a "preferred provider" who is part of the plan's network is often considerably cheaper.
Fee-for-service insurance offers the most choices of doctors and hospitals. You can choose any doctor and go to any hospital in any part of the country. However, the insurer only pays for part of your doctor and hospital bills.

Vermont health care advocates push for Catamount expansion - Brattleboro Reformer
09.01.09
BRATTLEBORO -- As lawmakers in Montpelier explore options to balance the 2009-2010 fiscal budget during a difficult economic stretch, health care advocates across the state are concerned the state-sponsored insurance plan may not survive the service cuts.
Catamount Health, launched in the autumn of 2007 in an attempt to decrease the number of uninsured Vermonters, is not currently targeted for reductions, but legislators say everything is on the table.
State leaders have already trimmed $43 million from the current year budget, with the Legislature expected to consider $46 million in rescissions during the upcoming weeks. Catamount is budgeted for about $19.2 million this fiscal year.
Peter Sterling, director with the Vermont Campaign for Health Care Security, has toured the state talking to people about enrollment in the program. He said the face of Catamount is very much working-class Vermonters who cannot afford insurance in the private market.
