Ask a parent, grandparent, relative, co-worker, or friend about their experience with one of the health insurance plans (U.S. healthcare plan) we learned about this week (CHIP, Medicaid or Medicare). What is their copay? What is their deductible? What type of a plan is it (single, single plus one, couple, family)? How much do they pay per month for their plan? Does the plan cover dental, eyeglasses, infertility, prescriptions, or chiropractic care? If so, to what extent are these things covered? Are there other unique things about their plan or does it provide few benefits? Overall, do they think it is a good plan? Write up your findings, double-spaced, Word document addressing these questions and your overall impressions of the healthcare plan and what surprised you or was new to you regarding healthcare plans after talking to this person.
