How can a government run health insurance entity “compete” with private companies? Will it pay taxes?
March 7th, 2012
Question by bigj: How can a government run health insurance entity “compete” with private companies? Will it pay taxes?
It boggles my mind that the proponents of a government run health insurance entity would actual state that this entity would bring competition to the insurance arena. How would these private businesses compete with someone who does not have to pay taxes. How do companies compete with an entity that can literally raise taxes to pay for operational costs or an entity that is funded non voluntarily by the citizens of the United States? Can the private insurance companies pass legislation that changes the rules of the game in the insurance business? No but the government could certainly dictate the rules of their own business by passing legislation in its favor. Can someone please give me a logical reason as to how this government run health insurance option would do anything other than run private insurance into the ground to ultimately pave the way for the government to be the only health care option?

Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
February 23rd, 2012
Question by Dick J: Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
Let’s say that you get life insurance and claim to be a non-smoker. Then let’s say that you start smoking or resume smoking. Assuming that your medical records show that you smoked, will most life insurance companies check your records, see that you smoked, and then cancel your benefit?
Best answer:
Answer by friendlystranger65
I am unsure if answering this question in the negative would contribute to fraud.
Perhaps you have a method of assuring that the proposed insured be around to assist or supervise the investigation.
In general, death claims are only investigated if there is suspicion of fraud. If the insurance is within the incontestable period, benefits may be limited to premiums paid, plus interest.
Generally, life insurance contracts are incontestable after having been in for two years.

What would happen to health insurance companies if government take over the health insurance system?
February 1st, 2012
Question by John A: What would happen to health insurance companies if government take over the health insurance system?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Obama is trying to push a public health system that will allow everybody to have health insurance no matter what pre existing conditions he or she may have.
If this is reached, what would happen to insurance carriers like Blue Cross, Blue Shield? Will we need these companies and health insurance agents?
