HMO horror story

1- the article was about a HMO company and a hospital not getting bills worked out so the patient had to deal with it all. He got his car taken away and had to go to court over this whole thing.

2- I think "Lenny" should drop his HMO and get his own personal insurance policy so he wont have to go though all that again. The hospital was more than understanding about this whole thing and gave his car back.

14.1 assessment

1- In case you get sick and cant work i can still pay bills.
2- hospital exp- pays all or some of the daily costs of room & board, surgical exp- pays all or part for an operation, physician exp- meets some or all of the cost of physician care that do not involve surgery.
3- Reimbursement you have to pay a higher deductible but indemnity doesn't pay you as much.
4- If insurance companies don't place limits on the amount of cost they will cover they could go out of business.
5- it is all ways a good idea to have health insurance because even if u lead a healthy life there is still a chance of her getting sick or hospitalized.
6- he should go with the second plan because it is the cheapest he doesn't need a big health plan because he is single.
