Trying a new category... Oregon health insurance?

We Answered:

I have never heard of ANY state that requires health insurance. I doubt that it would be Constitutional. Pay attention to the news... Obama is trying to set up health insurance for millions of people that don't have it.. so clearly, people don't have it, and need it.
Your friend is simply wrong. He/she might be thinking about auto insurance.

Amy Said:

If I work for a company in Massachusetts and I live in Oregon, can they provide health insurance?

We Answered:

That sounds really strange. You should be able to use their insurance even if you are stuck using out of network providers in Oregon.

It's even stranger as Mass has a state law requiring everyone to have medical insurance.


Ask them for a pay increase to help off set you buying your own insurance.

In any case the saving you have by living in Oregon vs Mass should cover your insurance any way if all else fails.

Plus you get to stay in Oregon, Ma kind of sucks. I'm in Bend, Or. my self

Individual Health Insurance Plans in Oregon?

We Answered:

You may want to try a website that compares multiple companies at once to get you the best price. I am paying less than ½ after I did.

Louise Said:

Is it state law in Oregon that you must carry health insurance.?

We Answered:

OK, if you live and work in NC, you're subject to NC laws, not Oregon laws.

The ONLY state that requires health insurance is Massachusetts. Your employer cannot require you to be on their group health insurance, unless they are picking up the full cost.

Carla Said:

Can I get health insurance in Oregon while attending college there (non-oregon resident)?

We Answered:

The best option is probably to obtain a health insurance plan in Michigan that has a network that has doctors in Oregon.

Most Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance companies have a program that allows you to pay in-network amounts when you are out of state and go to a doctor in the network of the Blue Cross or Blue Shield company where you are.

Can anyone give tips for taking the Oregon Life & Health Insurance License Exam?

We Answered:

That is why it is better to take a class instead of taking on-line classes. Go to an insurance school and see if they do a one day prep class to help you pass. It really helps.

Glen Said:

Oregon Health Insurance (came to seniors as I can't find topic in another forum and you have experience)?

We Answered:

First make sure the hospital your granddaughter is taken to is a non-profit organization. In order to keep their non-profit standing they are required to accept all people needing medical treatment whether they are able to pay or not. They are still some of the best hospitals around. They will work with you on payments and usually as long as you send them just a few dollars a month they are satisfied. Sometimes, some of the affiliated providers such as anesthesiologists and even doctors, will just write off their charges. They should also be able to direct you to organizations who can help you pay the bills.

Good luck to you. I know how it is. I would do anything for my grandchildren.
