Are there any associations one can join that would then give you access to group health insurance?
Q. From my research so far, it appears that if you have a group health care coverage, it tends to be cheaper than if you have to buy the insurance yourself. For example, a family of 4 may pay as much as $700 a month or more for some decent coverage, but perhaps group coverage from your employer may cost you $400 or so. But if your employer does not offer it, are there any associations that offer health insurance to their members? Associations that anyone can join?

A. i live in indiana; the AARP plan is only a supplemental plan or they offer a hospital plan that from i read is basically a supplemental plan also; my husband has parkinsons disease and uninsurable in the state of indiana; i am healthy and filled out a individual application and was surprised that they needed a 10 year history of every illness or exam i ever had; i was suprised since auto and home is only 3 years, but calculated that if someone had cancer and was over the 5 year survival rate, they would be uninsurable since they had had cancer; i found out the hard way that if you have a pre-exisiting condition, they cannot insure you on an individual policy in the state of indiana; you are then able to go to the assigned risk pool… [cont.]

UK: Is there any legal provision for Housing Associations to provide adequate storage facilitiy?
Q. My flat has hardly any cupboards, storage room etc., for me to place and put things away. It's an old house that has been 'spilt' in half to make two flats. There is no storage room as you get in modern flats. Do housing associations etc., have to make sure that there lettings have adequate storage cupboards, rooms in them?

A. I don't think so but have a look at this link and the PDF it also leads to. I had a quick look and couldn't find anything that covered storage. Looks like you'll have to put up some shelves and buy a wardrobe or two.

How concerned should America be over Obama's shady character associations?
Q. Does Obama make you feel uneasy with his past associations of shady characters? What else is he hiding? Should we be worried?

A. His bad buddy choices are a big concern to me. When a person applies for the most important job I can think of, then we, the voters should scrutinize every breath the person took since high school. This election was tough, because we didn't have the media fairly helping us out with the issues. The media has so much more access to the facts than we do, and the sure didn't do their job this time. Obama could have been easily dethrowned by the press over his friends, let alone the other issues.
