Can child have gov't (Hoosier Healthwise) health plan, when a parent already provides insurance?

We Answered:

Having other coverage does not exclude eligibility to Hoosier Healthwise, however, the other coverage is always primary. Any care received should be billed tothe BCBS first, then Hoosier. If Hoosier finds out that there is other coverage, they will take back their payments and the providers may or may not be able to bill the BCBS because of contractual obligations to bill timely. If the ex omitted this info on her application, that is fraud. It is possible that her parents income is not counted, but not likely.

Will Obama's strategy to stop the old folks from protesting his health care bill backfire?

We Answered:

Of course ti will backfire., how dare he try to strong arm our elderly... he had better figure it out pretty fast, that our older citizens are just up in years a bit.. they are not stupid.

I think we know who the stupid one is!

What is the best strategy for dealing with lifelong anxiety without using medication.?

We Answered:

I'm not an expert, but I know the key for me was to use my mind like a bug zapper. The bugs are bad thoughts -- things you keep letting play over again in your head. The way to zap them is just turn your mind away from them as soon as you notice that you're thinking them. See, your mind treats every thought as fact and your body reacts as if it were really happening, so you need to stop the bad thoughts and replace them with good ones. "I'm feeling sick" becomes "I feel great!” Even if you feel the affirmation is a lie at first, if you persist in telling yourself you feel good and you don't think contradictory thoughts, you're mind and body will respond as if it were true and soon enough, it will be.
It’s a matter of mental discipline. Your thoughts produce emotions and emotions generate physical responses.
Of course, you may not have any thoughts you can identify that are generating your anxiety, or you are just in such a state of physical reaction that nothing helps. If these are the case, you might have some belief about the world that you learned long ago and it produces fear for you. You may need someone's help to find out what that belief is and what it is you fear. You may have to make the thought conscious before it can be zapped once and for all.
I hope this helps. There are alot of books out there. Most of the ones I have read are some variation on the concept of mental discipline and a bunch even go as far as saying you create or attract the reality you imagine. Whether you buy that or not, I know controlling your thoughts can help. Anxiety is horrible, but it can usually be overcome. Don't hesitate to seek professional help. Good luck!!

Defusing the health time-bomb do you think Andrew is right?

We Answered:

Yes I do, it makes a change to hear a sensible quote, lecturing people is not the answer, we are all sick to death of being told what or what not to do, educating the adults is what is needed so their children don't fall into the same patten of eating as them. Parents really do need to take the responsibility for their children's health and welfare, at the moment there are a lot who don't.

Is health care reform a strategy of incrementalism? step by step to socialism?

We Answered:

The best analogy I have heard to the systematic socialization of America and our mental "reprograming" to accept the whole idea (among others such as being gay is "normal" or "capitalism is evil") is where, if you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will jump out, but if you slowly heat the water the frog is in, it will sit there and allow itself to be boiled to death. Once enough people recognize that "heat is being applied" to our own "pots", perhaps we, as One Nation, will "jump out" much like that frog...
