What type of health insurance covers everything from a bug bite to brain surgery?

mrmarcellus2002 asked:


I am about to buy my own health insurance and i was wondering what type of insurance covers everything possible. I keep hearing stories about insurance not payting for certain test or some insurance not paying doctors to check for somethings. I want insurance that will cover me if i happen to go in for cancer or anything possible. Also if you have any suggestion on any great insurance suppliers please let me know.

How do you choose and buy diabetic devices/supplies? Do you have a choice or does your doctor/insurance pick?

Anonymous Asker asked:


I’m working on a research project on diabetic devices and how they could be improved, also, my dad has mild diabetes, and I had some questions.

It seems like there are many types and brands of glucose monitoring and insulin delivery devices with a variety of different features, some better than others, but I don’t understand how a person comes to choose and buy a particular device.

Does the doctor prescribe a specific kind, or do they give you a prescription for an insulin pump say, then you have a choice of what brand? Do you shop around? Does your insurance only cover certain types?

If you do have a choice, how do you learn about the different available devices?

Are there certain ones that are like the “iPod” of diabetic devices — the one everyone has or the one everyone wants to have?

If someone who has diabetes or knows someone who does could explain the process you/they use, I’d really appreciate it!
