A comparison / contrast of the different types of coverage available.?

Question

I am writing a paper on health insurance and would like to see if any one knows any differences between different insurances..

Answer 1

I assume you mean the differences between things like an HMO, PPO, indeminity plan? Or medicaid and medicare? Or HSA's and 125 plans? This is a pretty broad topic.

You might find some good basic info at the web site for the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Also CALPERS-- a large provider of insurance, for california public workers has a good glossary of health insurance terms

Answer 2

This is the government category, not the insurance category. That said, most health care plans these days bear little if any resemblance to insurance. Just look at how car insurance or home insurance works and compare that to your health plan.
