How does health insurance work in the US?

I am a non-US citizen and need this information to do a case. Specifically: 1) Is health insurance compulsory for everyone? 2) What happens if someone cannot afford it? 3) In the event that a medical procedure needs to be done, does health insurance cover all the bills? Does the patient need to pay anything extra? 4) Does the patient have any say over what kind of procedure he can take? Say if 2 treatments are available for his condition, can the patient choose the more expensive treatment? And if so, is it covered by the insurance? Thanks for reading this. Your help in answering any part of the questions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to those who have responded so far. I would like to further ask: Does a health insurance contract state that it will only cover the "normal" rates for a procedure? For eg. if there are 2 possible treatments for a disease, 1 of which is more expensive but more effective than the other, will the patient only be covered by the LESS expensive one? Or is it a case in which the patient can opt for the more expensive one and "top-up" the difference? This is a crucial question to my understanding the case. Thanks!

Why is home insurance limited to each and every different type of disaster?

The home is either livable or NOT livable...it matters NOT what disaster ruined the home.. Why then is it that you have to pay extra for each different type of circumstance? An accident is an accident.... a disaster is a disaster... the home can only be burned, flooded, distroyed by earthquake / tornado / hurricaine ONCE.. why pay for all the different ways insurance-wise? How covered is covered? And WHY !!!! Why?? Is it if you Never have any type of claim you aren't refunded some of that money you spend year after year after year? Again, once you've paid in insurance the amount of the home value.. what difference does it make if you replaced the home 'money-wise' already in insurance premiums? Why not spend those premiums on a second home instead? Just shooting in the dark here of the many complaints I have heard ranted from my elders recently.. their solutions were hysterical.. I'd love to hear more solutions.

How do we get insurance companies to reduce medical insurance premiums to employers?

Let's face it, here in the U.S. the medical insurance premiums for group health coverage is rising faster than inflation. As a result, a lot of companies are either reducing the levels of coverage in order to offset the cost of insurance, increasing the deductible, and or increasing the cost to the employees for the insurance premiums. The problem is that insurance companies have no incentive to reduce insurance premiums. They continue to get record profits and this issue is out of control. How do we get the insurance companies to decrease insurance premiums to the rate of inflation, or better yet, start reducing the cost of premiums for a change?

I'm in the process of buying a foreclosure home (Saratoga,CA, can't transfer the insurance since it has already lapsed) that has a detached unpermitted cottage (2 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living room total of 900 sq ft), the main home also has a unpermitted converted garage that is used as a in law quarter (separate entrance and full bathroom), it also has a unpermitted sun room too.

What happens to your insurance if you have a lifelong disease, and you change insurance providers?

I was curious about how that would play through. Most insurance companies will not take you on as a customer if you have a pre-existing condition. (since it's hard to make money off say, a diabetic.) If your insurance is through your work and you change jobs, what happens? Since most of the time your insurance is dropped when you leave a job, i imagine it would be VERY tough for someone with AIDS, Cancer etc. to find another insurance provider.

no health insurance and have a preexisting condition. Can I start work? or is there any insurance available?

How does the insurance company find out about moving violations?

My understanding is that when you get a moving violation (e.g, a speeding ticket), the police or the courts or whoever will notify your insurance company. When your insurance company finds out and finds out about the points that are now on your license, they raise your insurance premium. However, a friend tells me that he's received several speeding tickets, that his insurance company has never found out (meaning no one is notifying his insurance company), and that his premium has therefore never gone up. How is that possible?

How can people say insurance companies should be able to deny based on pre-existing conditions?

Let's look at an example. Bob has a job. He has health insurance. He gets cancer, and his insurance company pays for his tens of thousands of dollars worth of treatments. The economy goes south, Bob gets laid off. He has to choose between health insurance and losing his house, so he obviously needs to stop the insurance. Later, Bob gets re-hired, and despite the fact that he can afford insurance, he can never get it again, because he has a pre-existing condition. But no, we need LESS government regulation of the insurance industry. LOL!
