Insuring my two kittens. How does it work?




I want to insure my two kittens, I’ll be bringing them home in april.

I’m curious as to how it works. I checked it out at the OSPCA and my total was like 44 bucks per month. But when does the insurance kick in? Can I use it for spaying? What about vaccinations? Do I have to be paying monthly fees for a cirtain amaount of time before my vet vills are covered?

Anything you know about pet insurance please tell me
thanks in advanced

I have just read on CNN the ireports of people surviving brain cancer. Some people were saying they had no health insurance.

Can you imagine YOURSELF or a loved one, with no insurance, being hit with a brain tumor diagnosis?

Why do we punish (by death) those people in our society who:
-have lost their insurance when being laid off;
-who don’t have enough insurance for certain treatments
-who have opted out of insurance due to the high spirits of YOUTH
-who are mentally weak, incapable of holding their own in this DOG-EAT-DOG world (since when are we punishing the weak with death?)
-the certified mentally ill…homeless etc..
-the bums who DO NOT WANT TO WORK and their children (since when are we punishing lazyness with death?)

How can you be pro-life for the UNBORN and yet deny life to the already living?
Is the difference resting with the fact that to be anti-abortion it costs you nothing…while a universal healthcare system would cost you?
"I am my borther’s keeper" is NOT a communist idea.
I am pro-life, anti-abortion.

Transexuals- mental disorder or genetic?




Can someone really be a woman in a mans body? or vise versa? If you get a sex change operation, does that really change anything, I mean genetically you are still your birth given sex, are you not? You will never be able to get pregnant and never be able to get a period. You were born a man or woman by nature, thus your sex is such. Is this not evidence that one is transexual by mental disorder and not because they are bound by science or genetics? what if I beleive I am a dog in a man’s body? Does that mean I should get an operation to be a dog? Im not saying transexuals should be outlawed or anything-( whatever makes them happy as long as no one is being harmed)..what really bothers me is when they say it’s a genetic issue and health insurance should cover a sex change operation or part of it -as is the case in some U.S cities- like my city S.F….That is wrong…

I have been trying to find a job on and off for the last couple of years without much success as well as trying to hustle by walking dogs, cleaning apartments, etc. My family who has been worried that they would have to give my mom and I some money are now doing that and are angry as a result. When I tried to tell them that the job market is tight and I have been trying to find a job, they treat me as a liar. The last time that I was unemployed, they pressured me into finding a job, which I did , and was so angry at them that I took it out on employees at the job and was subsequently fired. I now have an injury to my leg in which I can’t put it down completely and I wonder should I try to go on job interviews and I’ve no health insurance. I am in my mid 30′s and I am tired of being treated like a baby or having to account for every job move to the family? I am feeling more suicidal by the day and I don’t want to go to another job and going off and getting fired again. Help!!!!!

Me and my fiance are first time renters, we have a 20 gallon aquarium which we would like to bring to our new 2nd floor apartment. This fish tank has a lot of sentimental value because it belonged to a great friend of ours who was killed in Iraq and it is one of the few things we have of his. The apartment policy is that you must have 10 gallons or less and must be downstairs with renters insurance! I think it is ridiculous to think that a 20 gallon fish tank upstairs is such a liability as to be forbidden. So since we are renting a 2 bed we were thinking about just keeping it in the master bedroom and maybe hiding it in the closet when apartment officials come over??? LOL sounds so ridiculous over a fish tank but it really is that important to us. The ridiculous thing is that these are pet friendly apartments. How often should I expect a visit from an official to make sure were following the rules? how much notice should I expect? thanks any advice is welcome ;)

I was misdiagnosed multiple times because Lyme testing is so problematic. Now it’s chronic. I no longer have any type of medical insurance. Is there any type of holistic/alternative medications that can help with some of the symptoms? Primarily body aches, fatigue, headaches.

Medical financial aid…?




Does anyone know of any grants or other type of financial assistance for medical bills? My daughter was bitten by a dog, and we now have ,000 in medical bills. We were fostering a dog for a rescue organization, and it bit her. The rescue organization acts like we don’t exist, we had no health insurance, and we make 0.00 too much per month to qualify for state assistance (Medicaid). Does anyone have any ideas?

I think I sprained ankle?




I was getting ready for work this morning and tripped over a dog toy–i fell so hard and as i was going down i heard a crack! It was so painful at first. It now has a lump on the side and is a little hard to walk on. I have no health insurance and I don’t know what to do? Should I wait it out a little longer to see how it feels later?

Thanks
i have never broke anything before? I just thought it wasn’t broken because I can move my toes?

Anti-Social Behavior?




I’ve never minded being an anti-social person until recently, I was with a girl for a little while who was way way more social then I could ever handle, but it all fell apart for that reason. I guess my only concern is that I will never have anybody in my life to get close too, because I dont go out and do things, I dont know how to meet new people, I never last more than an hour at parties and internet relationships are not ideal for me. Aside of being anti-social, I have jealousy issues, which stems to confidence, I have no health insurance and cannot afford any. So my question I guess is, am I doomed to lonliness for the rest of my life, or is there something I can do to rid of this issue and just be normal, human, someone, rather then a shadow hiding with my dog in my apartment, then going to work and coming back to do it all over again, every damn day?
Life is this?

health Dr.s say "you have [this horrible disease/illness] take [this drug] to get over it." medication helps you get better, your health insurance covers the medication.

eye Dr.s says "you are [nearsighted] you need glasses" you chose the frames, then the Dr gives whoever needs it that prescription. the glasses improve your eyesight. your health insurance covers the glasses.

therapists are Dr’s. your therapist says "man, are you crrrraaaaa-Z! take this [anti-phsycosis medication]" you take it, get better, your health insurance covers the pills.

therapists are Dr’s. they are the ones that say "you have [this psychiatric problem] you should get a service dog" you pay hundreds of dollars for the dog/dog supplies, then finally, if you had to train the dog yourself(or with help which costs $$), or if you are on a waiting list, after possibly months, or a year, you get the dog. the dog HELPS, just like the medication, glasses and anti-psychosis medication does.

why doesnt health insurance cover the dog?
D.R.Brushmore: that makes sence, but if a DR says "take this drug" and that makes it legal for you to have the drug/medication.

if the terapist says you should get a PSD, than its kinda more than a pet, and even falls under the ADA, allowed in stores/resturaunts, and applies to the fair housing acts. so you can have the dog where your normally wouldnt, i hoped i eplained it ok, but it just seems kinda ironic.

Americans Have It Backwards?




Why is it that everyone here in the U.S. wants animals to have rights, but they deny human beings the right to free medical care based on citizen status. It makes no sense. Kill a dog you get life in prison. Kill a black human being maybe 2 years in jail.

My sister is a U.S. citizen, but she can’t get health insurance because my parents are out of work and she’s a minor. Also my parents are legal immigrants to this country and do not qualitfy for benefits like free medical or dental. So my sister is left to fend for herself. How sick is that?

Where have our human rights gone?
I meant to say *qualify
Wait a minute when did I bring race into this?
I’m wondering as a U.S. where our Human Rights have gone. Why is it that a dog can get treated for a cold, but if a human being has no insurance their S.O.L.

I have had a bump right above my ankle for about two years now and it has gotten bigger over time. I got bit by a dog around the same area and the bump appeared afterwords. Now it is about golf ball size and is very tender to the touch! Does the dog biting me have anything to do with it? Is it a cyst or possibly something more dangerous? I have no health insurance so Im not sure it would help if I went to the emergency room.

Pet Insurance Question?




ok, i’ve been looking all over for affordable pet insurance that will cover the things i want it to
is there anywhere that i can get pet insurance for just basic veterinary care not accidents and illnesses… all i want it to cover is dental cleanings, vaccines, flea and tick preventitives, heart worm tests, and the over all exam… i dont want it to cover stuff like accidents, cancer, or other diseases
just the basic stuff she needs every year… is this possible because it seems like you can only get coverage over that after you’re forking out a month for stuff that might not ever happen… HELP

by the way: im trying to find pet insurance for my 3 year old dog who has never been diagnosed with any illnesses
