Question: How are the low-income, the disabled, and the elderly going to be able to purchase private HC insurance?

Hillary said that she would make it a “mandate” for all Americans to purchase private healthcare insurance. Romney and Guiliani say that people can purchase health care insurance through tax credits, and…?

With 47 million uninsured Americans unable to get it, how can our candidates and government EXPECT people like me to able to afford between $1800 to $3000 a month private health insurance policies?

Has anyone really put some serious *thought* into addressing this crisis with the uninsured and low-income–instead of just adding what I see as “Band-Aid” solutions to a growing problem here in the country?

Answer: Well Ron Paul would make it so that you would pay less taxes all around, no health care for illegals, no money being spent in Iraq, By having a more efficient system, less riff Raff getting health benefits. It would make your premium less.

also right now your working from Jan to what April just to pay your taxes. then you get taxed when you spend, taxed when you register your car etc etc.

How about we reduce the size of our government that way it doesn’t take 30% of our paychecks.

I dont have health care right now, but i dont expect someone else to float the bill

The first preference of most people is to remain in their own home as long as possible, whatever their disabilities. So sending elderly people to a care home left their children with a guilt and the elderly with a hard feeling.

The alternative solution for elderly care is to hire a care giver for home care, who can come to your home and take care of your loved ones. Home Care provides a balance of residential living, medical and recreational services, and assistance with day-to-day living activities to the elderly. It offers elderly people many of the same benefits as independent living, while providing basic help in areas that may have become personally challenging.

Home care is a practice trying to help elderly get both physical and medical help that is needed on a day-to-day basis in the comfort of their home. With assistance provided for activities of daily living along with recreational activities, home care facilities today are able to provide seniors a feeling of self-content and security.

But when hiring a care giver, one must be careful. There are two common alternatives to hire:

Hiring directly involves certain problems and risks, like background check becomes complicated. Risks involve managing emergencies when a caregiver cannot come in and handling similar issues.
So it is always advisable to hire through a care agency so that you are sure that care giver’s background is good, if he/she can’t make it to work care agency can send a substitute. Above all these benefits, there is one more advantage of hiring through an agency. The caregivers are qualified care providers and are sometimes old employees of the nursing service and they can provide nursing care to the elderly in need. Also, State-licensed home care agencies have many responsibilities in providing consistent supervision for the employees they hire as caregivers.
CuraDomi, home care allows seniors to continue enjoying the independence of their daily routines and familiar surroundings by providing excellent home care services. Since its inception in June 1986 Cura Domi – Home Care Agency, has firmly established itself as the specialist agency in providing quality home care for the elderly. Cura Domi provides the option to stay in your home and retain your independence.
