As one of millions of Americans without medical health plans, I'm keeping track of the health reform legislation signed into law by President Obama. But with the Republicans and Big Insurance blocking it wherever they're able, though the legislation continues to jump through the hoops it must jump through, I have to admit I've become discouraged.

Will medical health plans ever be within my reach? I'm like a gospel singer, crooning, "How long will be too long?"

I read this Q&A on the White House website today:

Q: Can I afford coverage? A: Clearly, the system we have today is broken. If you don’t have health coverage, there’s no limit on how much insurance companies can charge you, and they can decide to refuse to sell you a policy at their whim. Health insurance reform will change all of that. For the first time in history, there will be limits on how much anyone will have to pay to receive health care coverage. And depending upon your income, you may be among the tens of millions of Americans who will get a tax credit to to help pay for your coverage. And for the first time in history, insurance companies will no longer be allowed to simply tell you “no”. They will be required to offer coverage regardless of your health status, and they cannot jack up rates or drop you from your coverage when you get sick.

Well, that's something. But it's not free universal health care. I feel like it's time for me to face reality and try to find the care I need now.

Before I discovered Quality Health, I didn't know that discount medical health plans existed. The White House might want to note it in their Q&A--something you can actually take advantage of now.

I recently got a new job, and after months of unemployment, I was thrilled. Steady income was enough to put me on cloud 9, and then I was told I would have health benefits, I went through the roof! I had been going through such hard times and it seemed like finally I would be getting the things I deserved. My job is great and I feel so fortunate to have one, but unfortunately, the benefits I was given hardly are enough to cover my family in addition to myself. So instead of living life underinsured, I decided to look into a discount health plan from Q Health to supplement my current insurance. I needed something affordable, that would cover the areas that my current plan wasn’t covering.

For instance, my son needed glasses desperately, but under my current plan, vision for my dependents wasn’t covered. With Q Health, the Basic package was exactly what I was looking for. It is $24.95 for the whole family and allows us to get discounts on nearly everything we need. Signing up was a breeze which I truly appreciated. But in my opinion, the best part is, there’s no need to file any claim forms or wait to get the discounts. You get your savings when you pat for your services. A discount health plan from Q Health is truly ideal for anyone like me looking for a little extra savings!

If you’re thinking about signing up for discount health care with Qualified Health, there are probably a lot of questions running through your mind. After all, signing up for a discount health plan, or any health plan for that matter, can be a little tricky and you really should do your research before you commit to anything. Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions about Qualified Health and the discount medical plan card. 

1) How Does Ones Get the Qualified Health Savings?
Roughly two weeks after enrolling in the membership program, you will receive your membership handbook and temporary membership cards. All you have to do is show your temporary card at participating locations at the time of your appointment and the adjustment will be granted at the time your receive your services. 

2) Who is included under the coverage?
Your spouse, your children who are 25 and under living at home, and parents in the household over the age of 60. Additionally, any other IRS dependents are eligible to use the Qualified Health Savings. 

3) What are the Q Health Pharmacy Savings?
With a discount health plan card from Q health, you should receive savings of approximately 20-60% of network pharmacy’s usual prescription prices. Q Health members can also save approximately 30-70% off retail drug store prices on mail order prescriptions. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 2 million people quit their jobs in April, which is the highest number of resignations in more than a year. It was also reported that 1.75 million people were laid off in April, the fewest since January 2007. This is good news for the economy as many theorists believe that resignations outnumber layoffs in a healthy economy.

This could be attributed to many people taking jobs they are over qualified for during the recession, and now that the economy is showing a bit more vitality, they can move on to better opportunities. It can also be that workers are fed up being overwhelmed and overworked due to layoffs that decreased staff and increased their workloads. Whatever the reason it’s good to see the economy is showing signs of health once again. If you are unhappy with your current job and are thinking of quitting but don’t want to lose your benefits, you can always look into a discount health plan from Q Health. A discount medical plan is ideal for those looking for cheaper ways to get medical treatment while in between jobs, and the funds are low.


Lady Gaga said last week at Larry King that Lupus runs in her family and she’s been tested as “borderline positive” for the disease. Lady Gaga might not need a discount health plan, but many Americans who suffer from Lupus are uninsured.

And Lupus is a disease that has to be controlled and monitored regularly. Lady Gaga’s mother said that Lupus runs in her family, and Gaga herself commented that “the truth is, I don't show any signs, ah, any symptoms of Lupus. But I have tested borderline positive for the disease. So, as of right now, I do not have it, but I have to take good care of myself."

There are around one and a half million Americans who have Lupus, most them are women who are more vulnerable for the condition. Lupus is believed to be hereditary and causes the immune system to attack healthy body tissue. The symptoms of Lupus vary from one person to another, but the main affects of Lupus are joint pain, arthritis and inflammation.

Having a discount health plan is very important when dealing with the condition, which has no cure, but can be treated and controlled by self care and medication.

If you’re looking for a discount health care, for any condition or just for that peace of mind, visit Qhealth discount health care today!

I’m an artist. This is what I’m trying to remember to say when people ask me what I do, rather than letting them know the latest in my string of employment endeavors. Waitress-on-wheels isn’t the real me, see? A girl’s gotta bring home the bacon somehow while she’s waiting for the paint on the canvas to dry. Of course this also means I’m seriously in the market for a cheap health plan.

A cheap health plan for me has historically consisted of what’s available in generic form at my drugstore, trying to get enough sleep, and wearing sunscreen when I go outside. I cross my fingers when someone near me sneezes. I knock a lot of wood. Basically, I’ve just had to hope that no serious issue crops up before Obama Health Care goes through all the hoops it needs to and I am finally able to see a real doctor without owing my firstborn to the credit card company.

This was all manageable until, um, that firstborn suggested he or she might like to join the party. Now what? I'm happy, but scared. I’ve got all kinds of ideas on how I want to paint the nursery, but I need a cheap health plan, quick. Which is how I found my way to Qualified Health. And suddenly I think this might be manageable, too.

After I lost my health insurance coverage, I was really concerned that I wasn’t going to be able to get any medical health plans. Besides their being totally out of my price range, in their eyes I had pre-existing conditions and would be denied coverage. It was totally heartbreaking to realize that I needed my prescriptions and to see a doctor, but because of some trivial stipulations, I was denied this medicine that helps me live an enjoyable life.

My sister is an RN and really helped me through this difficult time, and told me about Q Health. I was a little skeptical, because after all, it’s not a traditional health care plan. But she told that many people who come into her clinic have discount health care cards. Being that I had no insurance, I looked into the Premium Plan. It seemed too good to be true; I thought, what were the odds that there were legitimate doctors in my neighborhood who accepted these cards? Luckily, Q Health makes it easy by having a simple provider search engine, where you can find exactly what you’re looking for in your neighborhood. I am so thankful for Q Health and their user-friendly site!
