There seems to be some confusion among certain state agencies about workers who received exemptions from WA Cares, Washington's mandatory long-term care benefit program. The program is paid for by 58 cents out of every $100 earned deducted from workers' paychecks. WA Cares provided a one-time opportunity for people to opt out, if they could show they had private long-term care insurance in place before Nov. 1, 2021. This opt-out provision is no longer available to new applicants.

PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO BE FORCED TO FUND CONTROVERSIAL LGBTQ CONCEPTION PROGRAMS-ATTORNEY SUSAN SWIFT
Three congress members, Reps. Mark Pocan, Jan Schakowsky and Ro Khanna, reintroduced the Save Medicare Act on February 1, 2023. The Act calls for renaming Medicare Advantage "Private Insurance," as it is not Medicare, nor is it an advantage. Rather Medicare Advantage has been gamed by private insurers to inflate profits by denying healthcare coverage. By design, Medicare Advantage has overcharged health costs by billions of dollars annually, draining the Medicare Trust Fund. In truth, the intent of Medicare Advantage promoters is to privatize traditional Medicare.Support the showTruthseekers - Health Justice Podcast More podcasts regarding false corporate narrative surrounding health insurance reform and coverage.

Traditionally, FHA loans, which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, have required borrowers to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is a federal program managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Private flood insurance refers to flood insurance coverage provided by private insurance companies as an alternative to the NFIP. Historically, private flood insurance options have been limited, and FHA loans generally required NFIP coverage.Now you are able to obtain Flood insurance thru the Private sector for FHA loans, previously you could have gotten quotes that were way higher and prevented a sale from happening.

In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder/Chairman of the Board of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with returning guest, Jonathan Gopman – Partner at Nelson Mullins – and a new guest, Mark Sims – President of Madison Insurance Group. The focus of the conversation is Madison Insurance Group's pioneering risk management strategy, Private Insurance. Mark talks about how this strategy enables businesses and organizations to direct procure insurance coverage for selected risks, transfer high exposure to third parties, and designate an investor to participate in an innovative profit-sharing program. As a result, investors build tax efficient assets to help protect their business and assure their future. Jonathan then goes into a sample profile of who could benefit the most from this product as well as the planning opportunities that are not easily seen on the estate planning side to use trusts and different types of financial products with Private Insurance.

When is the right time to buy? A question that is pondered by many. "I'll wait til prices drop". Is a common thing I hear, but are you missing out by waiting? If you asked me, I would say as soon as you find something you like and can afford it, buy it. But some people have different ideas, and this is why I got Jo Harris from Lodge Real Estate to come on to this episode and discuss this very question. We talk about timing on the purchase, what things to consider, what the market is doing at the moment and what the upsides vs downsides are if you do wait "until prices drop" Have a listen, and let us know what you think.

Discussion of private health insurance in USA
Since I started in the working world in 1977, I’ve always had employer-sponsored health insurance. Because my employer has been the negotiator, I’ve had little direct interaction with the insurance companies with the exception of two denials: a denial for long-term disability insurance since I had breast cancer in 2006, and a denial for an open-sided MRI from an HMO plan due to my claustrophobia in traditional MRIs. I had an HMO plan for only the one year when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and switched back to a PPO Plan the following January. I’ve not really had to deal with the Government either as I’ve had continuous full-time employment since the start of my pharmacy career. My mother was disappointed when I quit my job working for the State of Oklahoma in 1984 to work at a private hospital, as she always said it was better to work for less money and get government benefits. As a civil service employee in New York, she always said that the “government will take care of you.”A few months ago, my insurance status was about to change as I started thinking about a specific date for retirement. I’m a huge advocate for Original Medicare and expected to have monthly Social Security payments. But there were still a lot of decisions about a Medigap policy and Medicare Part D coverage.Which brings me to my scorecard to-date: GOVERNMENT: 4, PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE: 1.5.First I applied for Medicare Part A on-line in March and everything went smoothly. All questions were answered and my Medicare card appeared in the mail a few weeks later. GOVERNMENT: 1.Next I applied for Social Security to start when I turn 66 in December (my retirement year). I filled out all the questions again on-line, but there was a notation that they might call for more information. And I did get a call!!! A real live person from Chicago wanted to verify my information (and tell me that I had applied too soon and would need to wait until August). There was a form to fill out to withdraw my request (so it wouldn’t start back in March) which she promptly sent me to fill out and return via email. But a few hours later, I got another call back. She was reviewing my application and noticed that I had been married before and my spouse had died. She said it was complicated but that I might be eligible for survivor benefits for the rest of 2020 until I turned 66 in December. Did I want to apply for those now? “Well, yes, I didn’t know I was even eligible!”. GOVERNMENT 2.When I finally settled on a retirement date, I needed to apply for Medicare Part B to start September 1 when my employer based insurance expires. Again, filled out the application on-line, received a form for my employer to complete verifying credible coverage, and my new Medicare card with Part A coverage and Part B starting in September showed up a few weeks later. GOVERNMENT: 3.Next I received a letter that Social Security had incorrectly calculated my survivor spouse benefits but had caught it when auditing. So I would receive a deposit to equal the difference that was owed to me. GOVERNMENT: 4.At this point I have Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B and Social Security all handled by the government with on-line access and a helpful Social Security employee in the Chicago office that realized I was eligible for benefits that I didn’t even know about.However, I was still missing my Medigap policy and Medicare Part D. Medigap policies are private insurance that “fills in the gap” for what Medicare doesn’t pay. The plans are uniform for comparison and there are 36 eligible plans in Tennessee. Medicare Part D coverage pays for prescription drugs and there are 18 eligible plans. Although Medicare Part D is a government plan, it is administered through Pharmacy Benefit Managers from private insurers. So the standards are set by the government, but the plans are administered privately.It took some time to figure out which plans were right for me, but that was only the start of the battle.I applied for my chosen Medigap policy on-line but every time I tried to file the application, I got an error message that the system was down and to try again later. For four days, I confirmed the same information and “tried again”, all without success. I called customer service 3 times to verify the website was up and running, but they couldn’t “guarantee me” it would work as “customer service had no control over the IT group”. After a week of trying, I finally called customer service and asked to complete the application over the phone. However, they couldn’t take my bank account information over the phone (even though it was in my on-line application), so they said that when the website was back up, I could print the form with a voided check and mail it back to them. This is what I did on August 4, but on August 14th I got a payment book in the mail and the insurer still has not received my EFT authorization. So I used a credit card, over the phone to make my first payment. PRIVATE INSURANCE: 0For my Medicare Part D policy, the on-line transmission was fine and I was approved in a couple of days. The problem however, is that they started the coverage on August 1 instead of September 1 as listed on the application. I discovered it immediately and have sent 3 emails to customer service asking for it to be corrected. They have politely indicated that they have checked with the “sales” team, and it can’t be corrected since it is already in force. So I have double coverage for prescription drugs throughout August. PRIVATE INSURANCE: 0And we are not done yet with my Medicare Part D policy. The private insurer also keyed in dates incorrectly so I was notified by Medicare that I may be subject to a LATE ENROLLMENT PENALTY for the rest of my life since I didn’t enroll when I was first eligible in December 2019. But I didn’t need to as I had employer coverage through 8/31/2020. But the dates were keyed incorrectly by the private insurer, so there is more paperwork to be filled out to try to get it corrected. Just to be safe, I called customer service to report the error and filled out the forms and mailed them on 8/14. But the letter says if they are not received by September 3, I am liable for the PENALTY. PRIVATE INSURANCE: 0I’m pleased to report that my Dental Insurance from a private insurer was approved without a hitch. PRIVATE INSURANCE: 1Coming to the end of my insurance applications, my Vision Insurance appears to be in limbo. Although I was approved on 8/5, as of yesterday my application status still says PAYMENT PENDING. Since I gave them a credit card on 8/5, I’m not sure what they are waiting for. I’m just hopeful they figure it out before 9/1 when my current insurance expires. PRIVATE INSURANCE: 1.5I can’t imagine that every person who turns 65 and wants to retire has to go through this massive maze. Both my parents retired at 62 and were always pleased with their Social Security checks and had employer pension-based health insurance. That was almost 30 years ago and it seems like we’ve made it more complicated and unworkable with these quasi-hybrid Government-Private Insurer webs.And based upon my experience in the last few months it is GOVERNMENT: 4, PRIVATE HEALTH INSURER: 1.5. Game over.Blessings, my friendAgatha

In a previous podcast, I talked about the four hard healthcare questions that we avoid. In this podcast I am going to talk about private insurance, and specifically how the Medicare for All crowd comes close to telling bald-faced lies about private insurance to justify the need for Medicare for All. So here are the four big lies or misstatements about private health insurance: 1. That insurance companies are driving up healthcare costs 2. That health insurers have excessive, unnecessary bureaucracy that helps drive up costs 3. That health insurers deny claims to protect their profits 4. That it's the insurance company's money None of these statements are true. I understand that insurance companies make an easy target to blame for costs and lack of coverage. But the insurance companies are the least responsible for the significant increase in the cost of care over the past four decades. Instead the increase primarily comes down to two factors: technology and utilization. The hardest truth in healthcare is that we can't afford to spend an unlimited amount of money to save any one person. We just can't. At some point, we have to stop paying the healthcare costs to keep a person alive. No amount of fantasizing or demonizing insurance companies is going to change this. And until we stop demonizing insurance companies, we aren't going to have the conversation on healthcare that we need.

I had this thought, that it might be possible to remove one additional bit of tax sponsored redistribution and get rid of the FDIC and the NCUA by promoting private insurance options to protect our bank deposits. Not as a hedge for banks to protect their own horrendous banking policies, but as a way to directly protect the customers, the people while holding banks possible for their high-risk business ventures.

In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon examine one argument that is put forth by proponents of a single payer system — that because Medicare is purportedly more administratively efficient, that a single payer system in the U.S. would reap huge savings and reduce overall health care costs. Suzanne breaks down the estimated administrative costs of Medicare (claimed 2% of total costs) versus private insurance (claimed 12% to 15% of total costs), and the reports upon which they’re based. Suzanne explores whether comparing administrative costs versus total costs is the best method, and how a per-beneficiary comparison might be more meaningful. Suzanne and Chase discuss some of the costs that shouldn’t be included in an administrative costs comparison, including profits and taxes. The two wrap the episode with a discussion on how some administrative costs actually reap huge benefits, and why administrative costs may not impact overall health care costs — ultimately concluding that the current comparison and claims on single payer administrative cost savings may not be all they’re cracked up to be.
