Q. Recently, I had a defib-pacemaker put in, all on recently acquired Medical Assistance. I take about $500 of prescriptions per month; [nothing HIV]. How can I get a JOB with this health situation? Health benefits don't start for 3 months or more, and don't cover "pre-existing conditions". I have so much to give. Earning money will kill the health benefits & the salary could not cover the Rx's. At 48, I'm not ready to croak yet, so how can I get out of this weird trap? I am elligible for new career training, but this problem is still the same. I live in Maryland, USA.
Thank you all, ahead of time.

A. If you already have medical coverage and do not let is lapse for longer than 63 days the pre-existing wait/clause will not affect you. A health company can only impose a 6 month or 12 month wait for treatment if you have let your coverage lapse. I would suggest you go to a large company so the health plan will be a big one so your claims don't jump the rates off the page to someone. Either way you will have to wait out the time and get enrolled in benefits and get going. Consider the new career training if you want to change your job. Get back in the work pool and ride it out!
What is the impact of Federal COLA's on the USA budget annually?
Q. Obama has proposed to cut budget 1.1 trillion over 10 years. Great! But in a period of high unemployment where the people ( peasants) are losing benefits in the private sector such as pensions and health care benefits, where is the public sector cuts and why are they getting COLA's (cost of living increases )at my expense. How much does it affect the budget annually. I believe this is an area we need to cut.
A. They cut the COLA for senior citizens getting Social Security. I guess the old people who worked at *real* jobs all their lives don't count as long as government workers get more.
What's the difference between Canadian and USA health care?
Q. When I went to the doctor, I got a chest x ray, blood test and something else. It cost absolutely nothing. It was also very quick, no wait times.
We pay medical services premiums up here (kind of like forced insurance I guess). But you are exempt if you don't make much money.
What are the differences? Benefits/costs?
Thanks!
We don't get free healthcare. We are forced to pay premiums like insurance to the government, although it's pretty cheap depending on how much you make I guess.

A. The health care is about the same in both countries. However, the way we pay for it is different. You pay your premiums to the government and we pay our premiums to insurance companies. If we don't have insurance then we have to pay directly to the health care provider when we receive medical services.
Questions for people who feed their dogs a raw diet?
Q. I'm wanting to switch my dogs to a raw diet And I was wondering why there is not very many ingredients in a raw diet. And also can you tell me if the raw food I'm switching them to is any good. Also what health benefits does a raw diet have verses regular kibble. And is there anything I should take note of when switching to a raw diet.
Below is the raw food I want to start feeding and the food I used to feed them:

Is there a reason there are more ingrediants in regular kibble than raw food?
Jackie- Thanks for your input but I know for a fact that Vets or people who work for them don't really know much about Dog/Cat nutrition cause if they always recommend science diet which is a horrible food (low quality). And the new food I want to feed them is not hard raw its precooked But fresher is better.

A. If you want to do the raw diet, I highly suggest you get pre-made raw patties out of your head and follow the Prey Model Raw diet.
It's comprised of 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, 5% liver and 5% other secreting organ like kidney, spleen, pancreas, thymus etc.
Dogs are carnivores and have no need for vegetable or grain matter in their diet. They lack the enzymes to break down and digest cellulose.

As for why there's so many ingredients in kibble?
Probably because the kibble has been cooked and rendered down to make the small bits. Cooking destroys many of the vitamins and minerals found in meats and vegetables, so companies have to add in all those extra ingredients to compensate for the loss.
ADD: Thanks for the TD Jackie. The OP asked about raw diets, not your opinion of them.
