Process in buying a shotgun/Background check and mental health questions?

February 28th, 2010 -- Posted in health protection information | 2 Comments »

When I turn 18(17 currently)I would like to buy a shotgun to keep at home for protection if need be.I went to a mental institution 3 years ago for a suicide attempt and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and treated.I am medicated and have been stable since then.What I’m curious about is 1)If my going to a mental institution will matter then since it was before I was legal(I’m unsure if your slate is clean once you turn 18) and 2)If my being bipolar will disqualify me for buying a gun?Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it will disqualify you most likely.

How do health insurance premiums go down if private insurance is forced to cover preexisting illnesses?

February 28th, 2010 -- Posted in health insurance | 8 Comments »

99% of the claims made in favor of the house health care bill are outright lies. It is amazing that people believe these things. Explain to me how if private insurance companies are forced to cover people with preexisting illnesses and not allowed to discriminate on a variety of factors, costs go down.

The cost isn’t going anywhere but up. Any rational person knows that, but this debate is fueled by emotion, not logic.

What are the health benefits to eliminating red meat from my diet?

February 26th, 2010 -- Posted in health diet | 1 Comment »

Right now I eat everything. Im 32 yrs old and I jog regularly. I’ve been thinking about eliminating red meat from my diet, but then I know I will eat a lot of fish and foul. Is there a big benefit to my health by eliminating veal, beef, and pork from my diet and substituting that for fish and fowl?

Hey
Eating large amounts of red or processed meat over a long period of time can actually raise colorectal cancer risk. But the risks from such a diet are smaller than those from obesity and lack of exercise, both for colon cancer and for overall health. So if you keep jogging and just have a varied diet i believe this would be fine.
Although i no a guy who doesn’t eat any meats at all and his doctor told him he has never seen such a low colosteral count before. He was pleased to bits.

hello, I need information about court experiences dealing with 4th degree assault?

February 26th, 2010 -- Posted in health protection information | 1 Comment »

I was the victim of assault on an incident that occurred this past May with my ex husband. (our divorce was final last month) Anyway, I was granted a DVO (protection order of no contact for 3 years), back in May and he was arrested. Now he is facing the criminal charges, which are still a misdemeanor. If found guilty, he will be on probation for two years automatically in my state of KY, the way I understand.

My question is what should I ask for? The county attorney said it is usually a small amount of jail time, court fines and probation. I told the attorney that I would like him to plead guilty–take plea bargain for probation and to pay for my therapy, psychiatrist and meds.
He said he would ask for the jail time as well and then bargain to get what I really want–those two things (his admittance so he would be on probation and to pay for my costs for mental health treatment).

I found it interesting that although this now criminal charge stems from that same day incident that got me a DVO, the county attorney said he wasn’t sure he could bring up that there was a DVO issued, because it will be a different judge (same county though), and he was afraid the judge would throw it out if he mentioned that there was a DVO at this arrainment. ??? I don’t get that. To me, that would be important to know that there was findings of domestic abuse found on the incident prior to this court date, which involves the EXACT SAME incident. This is just the criminal charge and again still is a misdemeanor. I got a black eye and cuts–pictures of me with blood coming out even. I think that would be important to know. But I think those would or will be brought into court, if it has to go to trial. I guess tomorrow is just the day we decide on an agreement or if we don’t, then it will go to trial.
I don’t want to go to trial. I just want those two things and I hope I get those. I don’t think those sound unfair to ask for. Do you?

What do you think about my requests and the attorney’s statements?

A statement about the DVO would most likely be considered prejudicial and not admissible in court, as for not going if he enters a plea of guilty at the hearing the judge will sentence him at that time and the case will be over.~

What health insurance company is best for a child?

February 26th, 2010 -- Posted in health insurance | 4 Comments »

I am looking for a good and reasonably priced health insurance provider for my 9 year old son. Insurance through my work is outrageous so I’m looking for an outside provider. His mother is suppose to have already put him on CHIP with the state of TX (by court order) but she refuses to do so for some reason. I hate the idea of him being without health insurance. Anyone had any good experiences with certain companies? Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

State health plans are often among the best coverage, least expensive plans around for kids. However, if that’s not an option (as you’ve indicated), then check into an individual plan for your son. As you found out, putting him on your plan at work will probably give him pretty good benefits, but group plans usually assume that, on average, there will be 2.2 kids/employee; therefore, someone with 1 or 2 pays more while someone with 3 or more pays less (hey, that’s how insurance works: it "averages" things out across a lot of people). However, by buying an individual plan for him you’ll only pay for "his" coverage. Further, you’ll be better able to get a less expensive plan that might be better suited to his actual needs. Here’s a few tips:

1. Try to figure out "how much" health care he generally uses. Don’t buy a really dynamite plan with a lot of bells & whistles if he’s unlikely to use most of them. Remember, the point of "insurance" is to handle expensive items; coverage for the more "routine" stuff is really just "health care financing."
2. Even if you buy a plan with a higher deductible (like $2,500 – 5,000), you’ll still probably get those things people use mainly, like doctor and generic drug copays, etc.
3. Find a broker near you who specializes in health insurance specifically. Visit NAHU.org (see below), which is the professional association of brokers (like me) who specialize in individual & employer health insurance.
4. Alternatively (and if you’re fairly confident of your expertise in this area) you can run your own quotes for him by visiting my site (below) or Norvax.com, an online quoting site.

Hope this helps a bit!
