How Obamacare Affects Children




snip

Shopping for health insurance

Under Obamacare, individuals and families that lack government or employer-based health plans — including self-employed people and those working for companies with fewer than 50 employees — will be eligible to shop for coverage in marketplaces called Health Insurance Exchanges. This collection of online insurance shopping malls is scheduled to open Oct. 1. It will feature websites established by the federal and state governments. U.S. News will offer a guide to the state exchanges, along with individual health plan data at U.S. News Best Health Insurance Plans. Families also can go directly to a broker or health insurance company. An estimated "11.5 million parents are uninsured," tweeted the Center on Children and Families during the chat. "Many will have coverage for the first time in January," when the insurance kicks in.

Children don't have to wait. Most are already eligible for coverage today. Stephen Zuckerman, senior fellow for the Urban Institute wrote that this coverage comes through Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Joan Alker, president of the Center for Children and Families, called Medicaid and CHIP, free or low-cost health coverage run by the federal and state governments, the "MVPs" of health insurance for children. "It brought uninsured rate for kids to record lows ... in 2011," she tweeted.

How many kids are uninsured?

The rates of uninsured children are at a record low. Still, one in 10 — or 7.6 million — children in the United States is uninsured, according to the Children's Defense Fund, a child advocacy nonprofit. Parents often aren't aware that children are eligible to sign up for benefits through public plans, says Bruce Lesley, president of First Focus, a bipartisan advocacy organization for children and families. "Many kids will get insurance just because of news about the Affordable Care Act," he wrote. Zuckerman tweeted, "research shows that when parents get covered, children benefit too."

There are many days that I feel like I can soar. Sure, yes, I am another year older yet I am wiser. That I get older doesn't really bother me to much any more.

It's what we do and say, how we act that is important. I want to leave a better life for our children, not the one that we have now.

What a sweet birthday gift you gave me. Your post is awesome. A picture always says more than words alone ever could. A picture will always tell you a thousand stories that no one has heard before.

Thank you for all you said freshwest~

I have not been here all that long, so I don't know what you said before I got here. I understand from talking to people that you don't post here much anymore. In my opinion that is our loss.

However I have read some recent rants. I have to say they are awesome and damned if they are not spot on! You my dear are awesome!

Thank you so much for your birthday wishes and back at you for a year filled with all the happiness anyone's heart could hold!

So Happy Birthday - and keep fighting the good fight.

as I had to keep muttering under my breath when I went out to bring IN the trashcan and discovered the dogs had found the new, huge regional phone book I'd requested from the phone company. I asked for it to be placed outside the gate, but apparently it just got thrown in the yard. By the time I came out it was scattered all over the 1/4 acre in such tiny pieces you'd think it had been through a mechanical shredder instead of two dogs' teeth! By the time I got it all picked up, I decided that counted as my exercise for the day. And I wasn't mad very long.

I hope Bo and Sunny behave better than Molly Maguire and Brigid. My two try to sneak indoor items outdoors in order to complete their work before discovery. But it's funny how Brigid will just stand there at the door, waiting to go out, and not trying to conceal anything at all. She's easy to catch. Molly on the other hand is quite the sneak. Last week I noticed at the door that her head was tucked way down when it's usually carried high. She had my gloves in her mouth and was pressing them tightly between her lower jaw and chest so I wouldn't see. Only her posture gave her away. You gotta love dogs like that. It's okay, I don't mind so long as they vote Democratic!
