Free Health Insurance
 Free Health Insurance |
We all know nothing in life is actually free. Someone somewhere is paying for all services provided through tax dollars. Free health insurance would enable people to obtain preventative and early treatment they might otherwise not receive. In the long term, this could be less costly that treating them as indigent patients once their health issues get very serious; resulting in their inability to work and maintain a household.
Free Health Insurance for Adults
In the US there is very little free health insurance, especially for adults. There are limited programs that provide health care insurance at no to little cost for very low income families. An example is Washington State, which has free health insurance programs for adults, pregnant women, and emergency health coverage for immigrants.
Some would consider Medicare a free health insurance program for senior citizens. Seniors may debate this, since may have paid into the tax system for years.
Free Health Insurance for Kids
Every state in the US has a free health insurance program for infants, children and teens. The rules for eligibility vary by state. You can obtain information by calling the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at 1-877-KIDS-NOW. They can help you to learn more about what is available in your state.
Eligibility for Free Health Insurance
While this insurance is available to working families, it does require a very low income (average is $34,000 for a family of 4) to be totally free. To be eligible you can’t have the ability to obtain insurance through your employer, even if you meet the low income level requirements. If your child is enrolled or eligible for Medicaid, then this program is not available to them.
Benefits of Free Health Insurance
- So what do you get for free? What might be covered or not covered?
- Most states cover doctor visits for illness and injury, prescriptions, hospitalization.
- They usually cover well care services for vaccinations and annual physicals.
- They don’t cover non-essential medical treatment like cosmetic treatments.
- They also may include co-pay for various medical services and prescriptions.
- Most free programs also include educational materials for healthy living (nutritional and exercise newsletters, websites, posters, etc.).
Alternative to Free Health Insurance
While not actually free health insurance, there are a variety of prescription programs for those without health insurance. These are provided for by the major drug manufacturers, pharmacies, etc. There are also health clinics and programs that offer free birth control, mammograms and pap test for women. That is a topic for future discussion.
