Health insurance???

Is there any possible way to open a new health insurance for sick person who is an international student? Currently ill. Please help.

As I said in my other answer to you; with most policies you cannot get pre-existing conditions covered. Your best bet would be to visit a local independent agent. This person can find the best policy for your situation and they don't charge anything for the service. You may have people respond to you offering medical discount cards.

Be very wary of medical discount cards. They are not regulated by the Department of Insurance nor do the people that sell them need to be licensed. This means you have little recourse when you have problems with the plan. If you are tempted by the low price and claims of “save up to 80%” be aware that very few doctors actually take these cards. It does you little good if you have to drive 4 hours to find a doctor that will accept the card. One state couldn’t find any doctors in that state that took the card and only one dentist who was on probation for unlawful activities so they banned the sale of the card. See this link http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/wes... for more information. Many other states are starting to ban these cards.

Before signing up with any discount plan get a list of doctors. If they won’t give you a list consider it to be a scam. Call the doctors on the list to make sure they’re still taking the card (many don’t even know that they’re listed as a provider) and that they’re accepting new patients.
