1. You cant even buy it.Insurance companies want to make money,not take care of you.
2. NOpe not true. To get free healthcare you have to either be disabled, or be low income with children. Most adults do not have free healthcare, but the children of low income families can get it if they income is low enough. Or you have to be a migrant family, which technically is low income.
3. If you have a pre-existing condition, the insurance is way too high. Some are not covered for several months.
4. Yes, you receive medicare if you are disabled and you have to pay a monthly fee based upon the amount of earnings you receive through disability, if you receive $600 a month $96 a month will be deducted for medicare, on top of that you have to pay so much a year in expenses before you are covered for hospital visits, plus you have co-pays for doctors visits and medicines, but if you don't work and are capable of working you can get medicaid which covers 100% of everything except dental and contact lenses. People who don't work receive better medical benefits than people who do because all insurance companies except medicaid have co-pays. I'd just like to add that if you work full time at a minimum wage job you no longer are eligible to qualify for medicaid coverage because you make to much money, but you can get mychild for $5 a month for your children if they are under 18 and in school. However, they are likely to cut you off from medicaid at any point and time without warning several times a year, which will leave you thousands of dollars in debt. I know this because I am approximately $10,000 in debt for this very reason. I think they cut my benefits about 8 times in the 1 year I received it. ;-)
