Download or read book Care Without Coverage written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Book excerpt: Analysis of earnings in most industries consists of a relatively simple breakdown of revenue and expenses. Insurance business is more complex; the emergence of profit is determined by pricing assumptions, reserves and divergences between the assumptions and actual experience over the lifetime of the business. These extra complexities have given rise to a process commonly known as earnings-by-source. This process is designed to explain earnings relative to the underlying sources. Unfortunately in many companies, even if this process is carried out, the usefulness of it as a management tool is frequently overlooked. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from difficulty in explaining results to questions over the validity of the results themselves. The formula and methodology described in this book was developed from first principles in order to address these issues and make it beneficial as a management tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is an insurance adjuster who reveals in his novel the dark covetous world of insurance and how some corporate greed can leave your loved one dead and no one will investigate! The author has created a plausible and possibly true story (based a lot of real cases) that if he told in a nonfiction, would get him ousted from the business. But he has chosen this vehicle to warn consumers about this dark world of greed and insurance company corruption. The story is well crafted, and introduces Michael, a man who loses his father under mysterious circumstances while in a hospital that in the past had been notorious for breaking the law. He suspects his dad died under suspicious circumstances but could not prove anything. Decades later his dad's death is still gnawing at him and he continues his pursuit of the truth. This relentless quest leads him a truly evil plot that should have been in the news... but it was suppressed. We wonder how many similar cases there are! We learn, sadly, that in the world of insurance actuaries, our lives are simply numbers and that while most of us think of life insurance as a good thing, realizing the insurance could never profit from your death, this is not always the case with health insurance!
Download or read book Adkisson s Captive Insurance Companies written by Jay Adkisson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captive insurance company is, in a nutshell, an insurance company formed by a business owner to insure the risks of the operating business. The operating business pays premiums to the captive, and the captive insures the risks of the operating business. A captive is much more than an exotic form of self-insurance: It is the creation of a new insurance company that has the potential to grow from being a mere captive into a full-blown insurance company seeking to profit from underwriting the risks of others. Adkisson's Captive Insurance Companies provides a basic introduction to captives and their benefits, including: utilize your own experience ratings; recapture underwriting profits; underwrite exposed risks and deductibles; access the reinsurance markets; and transfer wealth between generations. This book also provides a unique look at the wealth transfer, accumulation and preservation advantages of captives, as well as an overview of the types of captives, taxation of captives, and captive domiciles.
Download or read book Deadly Spin written by Wendell Potter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That's how Wendell Potter introduced himself to a Senate committee in June 2009. He proceed to explain how insurance companies make promises they have no intention of keeping, how they flout regulations designed to protect consumers, and how they make it nearly impossible to understand information that the public needs. Potter quit his high-paid job as head of public relations at a major insurance corporation because he could no longer abide the routine practices of the insurance industry, policies that amounted to a death sentence for thousands of Americans every year. In Deadly Spin, Potter takes readers behind the scenes of the insurance industry to show how a huge chunk of our absurd healthcare expenditures actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits. With the unique vantage of both a whistleblower and a high-powered former insider, Potter moves beyond the healthcare crisis to show how public relations works, and how it has come to play a massive, often insidious role in our political process-and our lives. This important and timely book tells Potter's remarkable personal story, but its larger goal is to explain how people like Potter, before his change of heart, can get the public to think and act in ways that benefit big corporations-and the Wall Street money managers who own them.
