Are there any good health insurances out there for me and my children, that won't cost an arm and a leg

Are there any good health insurances out there for me and my children, that won't cost an arm and a leg?
I live in NYC and I recently resigned from my previous job to be an independent contractor and now my children and I have no health insurance. What are the best insurance plans out there for someone in NYC, with low monthly cost?

Probably one that offers a health savings plan. The premiums are lower but the deductibles are high. The point is that you should put money into this savings account that you can later apply to your out of pocket or deductible. This money belongs to you and is tax deductible.
2 :
No, there aren't. With health insurance, you get what you pay for. For $150 a month, you can subscribe to a "discount plan", which most providers don't take, and which still leave you with hefty insurance bills if something big goes wrong. A family plan IS going to cost $800 to $1200 a month, for decent coverage. That's what it costs. Anybody offering you REAL health insurance at less than $200 a head, is scamming you. Or, the plan has a $5,000 deductible.

Can't really answer that question. Neurontin has not been studied in the Pediatric population and IS NOT approved for use in that age range. The information just isn't available.
2 :
It seems as if Neurontin has not been studied on pediatric cases, and is not highly recommended due to unknown longterm affects. However, I did look into some other options that would be very benificial and have no side affects, especially for someone as young as three. Essential Fatty Acids (omega 3 + 6) and Alpha Lipoic Acid are healthy and natural fatty acids the body needs to function properly. These fatty acids are strong antioxidants and help repair damaged nerves and nerve cells and help with the transmission of neurotransmitters, in chilren it is excellent for the development of a healthy nervous system and healthy brain function, helps with the treatment of ADD and ADHD, acne, arthritis, cholestrol; the list goes on. The good point of these fatty acids is they have no side affects, though if someone has an allergy to fish, I would advise looking at the ingredients to ensure there are no fish oils in the particular brand since most of them contain fish oils. At such a young age, I would recomend a low dosage, but booking an appointment to see a Naturopathic Doctor would be benificial. I am a natuopathic health counselor working at a Natural Health and Wellness clinic in Atlantic Canada. My name is Alicia Gabraelle, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to email me anytime and I will try to respond with the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this will help you out, doing some online research my help you out aswell. Look up Alpa Lipoic Acid, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Conjegated Linolic Acid and Vitamin E. This should at least put you a step in the right direction. My personal recommendation would be to look into Your omega's. You can usually purchase them in the vitamin section of your grocery store, or try a Natural store as well. Also, you can look up food high in these fatty acids if you are uncomfortable having your child take gel capsules.

Honestly speaking...If one child in this country is without health care

Honestly speaking...If one child in this country is without health care...?
will you honestly attach the fact that health care as we know it, is a pure and simple failure? Please, speculation as to whether the OBAMA plan will work is pure and simply put..SPECULATION... I am sure there are some who will try to foretell the future, and if that be the case, your "fortune telling" is just that...I can only say one thing...Health care as we know it is a FAILURE!!!!!! But if a child is not guaranteed the same health care as the next child...then who are we as the "greatest" country... Again, health care as we know it has not worked....!!!! Mama dixi...You need to go and study...and then when you see that one does go without, correlate that to one not having the same health care as the next...You honestly will say that health care as you know it, cover every child??? Oh, you must be a "quitter" Palin supporter...You need to go and study up...!!! Sunshine: Thanx for the details....!!!!! bash....I thought it said "bush" for a second so I am LMAO...But personally, I agree with you 136%. Man you just gave another example to "failure." u wish i...(thought like you).. No preaching here, only responding to someone telling me something...I base my argument on fact, and fact alone...Children, a child, a blessed child in this great country, does not have health care...Thats not preaching that is fact... But, I will accommodate your understanding and reply...WRONG!!!!!!

No child in this country goes without health care now. Pay attention.

No, but 47 million people unable to afford insurance and not getting it through their job is a nondebatable sign that our system is a failure. Add to that the fact that we pay almost twice as much per capita for healthcare ranked far lower in performance than the western countries with some type of nationalized healthcare or another, and it's clear our system needs to be revamped.
3 :
'Mamadixie' is INCORRECT. I personally know of 4 children under the age of 3 that are without health care--and NOT from the inability to pay for health care. ALL of their parents can pay, but HMO's refuse to cover their children due to their medical conditions. You are correct, if we allow even one child to be denied basic health care, then we can't claim to be 'pro-life' and we can't claim to care about our citizens, and we can't claim to have 'the best health care in the world. 1 in 4 women below the poverty level have miscarriages due to the inability to receive prenatal care. 67% of all bankruptcies in this nation are medical bankruptcies by people who HAVE insurance.

What's the Question you need to stop preaching and then insulting people because they don't see it your way.

Do Pro-Life support providing health care to children of working parents

Do Pro-Life support providing health care to children of working parents?
Hilliary Clinton and Obama are trying to provide health care for the children of working parents. How can pro-life folks oppose that? A lot of working Americans have children without any health care. It varies from state to state.

Actually, they already have it up to the parents making $80,000. The argument is fake, though. You have a right to your life, not to having someone who took no responsibility in creating it pay your way.
2 :
I'm a pro-life working parent.....I provide health care for my child. There are state programs here in Georgia that provide health care for children whose parents can't afford it. I don't support Hillary and Obama creating a Federally mandated socialized system. SCHIP is for children. We don't need to go overhauling the entire system in order to cover children.
3 :
As long as they don't have to pay for it, it's fine.
4 :
I look at it like this. If you can not afford a child and take care of the child them you should not have a child. My wife and I waited until we were ready. It is called responsibility.
5 :
I support providing you with suicide assistance

There is no degree in psychology with social work - these are two different though related fields. Also there is a difference between psychology and psychiatry (requires a medical degree). Each of the disciplines you refer to: Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Social Worker and Nurse are different. Both psychiatrist and nursing are more medical in their conceptualization. Psychologists are more individually focused and social workers tend to focus on the relationship between the individual and the environment. In general a nurse will have a good deal of direct contact with the child - but will have much less autonomy in terms fo practice. Also they will tend to work inpaitent. Psychologists will have a good degree of autonomy but generally you will want a PhD (I don't think that the UK licences MA level psychologists). Social workers will work both inpaitent and outpaitent as well as in the community and schools. It would probably be good to talk to and ideally observe several different professionals to see if you like what they actually do. In general social workers will have the most autonomous direct practice in the widest variety of settings. DA
