Does the noncustodial parent, who already pays for the child's insurance, have to pay half the doctors visits

We Answered:

There are many, many factors that decide the answer to this question. You don't provide nearly enough information. Did you agree to do this? There should be a written agreement stating what you are responsible for, shouldn't there? I highly recommend that you stop wasting your time here and call your attorney. Good luck!

Does the American health care system make you grateful to live in a place that has universal health care?

We Answered:

You also are the state with the 2nd most illegal immigrants, which still won't have health insurance. So that wouldn't help Texas any.

Is Assurant Health a good provider of Medical Insurance?

We Answered:

I don’t have any personal experience with Assurant Health insurance, but they don’t seem to have much of a presence in Texas, according to the state insurance department company profile (link below). According to the TX insurance department, Assurant is not one of the top 40 health insurers in the state, and number forty accounts for less than 0.35 percent of the market. According to the Assurant Web site, the Time Insurance Company underwrites Assurant Health insurance products, which is a large insurance company.

The best place to start is by doing what you’re doing now – asking for personal recommendations. I’d also check out Consumer Reports (link below), America’s Health Plans (link below), US News & World Reports Best Health Plans, and whatever other informational resources you can find. I’d also talk with locally licensed health insurance agents. I’ve also included a couple of articles about choosing a health plan that might be useful. They are government-authored, but they’re actually pretty good (all links below).

After you’ve done some research, you should visit MostChoice.com. It’s a Web site that helps you shop for health insurance. They have free instant price quotes and policy information on health plans near you, but their specialty is getting you in touch with state-licensed agents. There’s no cost or obligation to buy insurance. You just fill out a short form and wait for the agents to contact you (within 48 hours). Have your questions ready and let them work until one of them delivers the plan that’s right for you. You might want to have a set amount you want to spend each month on insurance and tell the agents to work within those parameters.
