I have gynecomastia caused by antidepressants I took years back. Is there any way that I can get my health insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) to cover it? After all, this is to correct a problem caused by medication, not simply an ordinary cosmetic procedure.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

My little cousin has absolutely no health insurance, and he has never even been to the dentist. Right now, he really needs extensive dental work. Unfortunately, his parents are ill-equipped to help in this situation, and he is not old enough to get his own insurance (nor is he old enough to work). Basically, it’s impossible for his parents to get insurance for him, so I want to help him myself. Since I am not his parent, and our slight age difference makes it impossible for me to pretend to be his parent, I don’t see how I can put him on my insurance. He doesn’t really speak to his parents, so that makes it even more difficult to coordinate anything with them.

I don’t make that much money, so I couldn’t possibly pay for the work solely out of my pocket. Some sort of financial assistance is simply a must. What can I do to help pay for this dental work?

Does the government offer health insurance to girlfriends of their civilian workers?

My boyfriend works for the government (Air Force, to be exact) as a civilian (NOT enlisted - whole different ball game as far as benefits are concerned). He gets health insurance coverage for himself, but we’re trying to figure out if the government offers health insurance coverage for significant others of civilians.

Any ideas?

Hello,

My friend is already in the hospital. He was in a car accident. He does not have insurance, but I am trying to provide some kind of coverage for him. Most health insurance companies will not cover someone who is already in the hospital. And he does not qualify for Medi-Cal. So are there any other options available out there, so that he can get the surgery he needs?

I work full time and my husbant too but our jobs don’t offer a health insurance. We hava just enough money to pay the mortgage, other bills and to survive the month. We would like to have a baby and the only thing that is holding us up is no insurance. I could only find family insurance that’s over $500 a month and we could never afford that. And we make “too much” to qualify for help from the government. Does anyone know any affordable insurance or help from somewhere. Also, without $1000s in deductibles and coinsurance?
