My daughter will graduate college in May and start a teaching job in Sept. My company’s medical insurance will stop her coverage in May. Where can I find gap insurance to have her covered until she starts her job.

I know that certain trade organizations offer discount health insurance under group rates if you join. However, I am unaware of any groups for a person who is self employed as an expeditor–a person who works in the urban planning field filing cases. He pays a exhoribant monthy premium for his health insurance.

I have a very good medical insurance that I am getting from my place of employment in the US. I cannot check right now with HR, but in general, is the medical insurance covering me abroad, in Europe for example?

I used to go to a free clinic that prescribed free birth control. Now that I have health insurance through my work, I think I’m just going to see a Gyno in a regular medical office. Does anyone know how much it costs with insurance?

Keep in mind, your health insurance premiums can’t be deducted if they’re taken out of your paycheck as pre-tax dollars. However, after-tax health insurance premiums are deductible, but they still are subject to a limitation of 7.5% of your AGI. If you’re self-employed, you may deduct a portion of your health insurance premiums as an adjustment. The self-employed deductible portion is 100% in 2007.

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!
