Description: The Irish Terrier is a medium-sized breed, that is slightly longer than it is tall. This breed has a long head ,that is flat between the ears.

Texas State government has decided not to implement the health insurance exchange that's mandated federal law. Republican Governor Rick Perry strongly opposed the Affordable Care Act and threatened to reject any law pertaining to the implementation of a Texas health insurance exchange. According to Rep. John Zerwas, MD, who sponsored the bill to create the Texas exchange, Gov. Perry is emphasizing that he does not want to be involved in the execution of health care reform in any possible way. In contrast, the Texas Medical Association supports the Zerwas bill. Special grants would be offered to those with earnings at 400-percent of the federal poverty line to help them buy coverage through the exchange.By January 2013, the Department of Health and Human Services will screen health insurance exchanges that have been created by different states. If these are deemed fit to operate in accordance with the health care reform law by 2014, states will retain control. If not, the federal government will step in to fulfill health care reform.Steve Larsen, director of the HHS Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, says that states who fail to enact their own exchange will...more

Pre-existing conditions can range from the chronic to the terminal, to the debilitating to the annoying. Regardless of severity, however, it is a fact that obtaining full coverage for pre-existing conditions can be difficult. Individuals that are "poor enough" can receive coverage through Medicare or Medicaid, but those that make too much often find themselves between a rock and a hard place.Anyone that receives health insurance from an employer can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to pre-existing condition coverage, even if a waiting period is required for the conditions to be covered in entirety. Many states have high-risk insurance pools, but the prices for these are absolutely outrageous, particularly for women, who can pay twice as much per month as a same-age male counterpart. These policies may be designed with good intentions, but for someone who is struggling to make ends meet in the first place, they are often prohibitive when it comes to cost, in spite of the benefits.Few people, even those that work in county social service offices, are aware that the federal government offers a Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). Created by the Affordable Care Act, it...more
