What is the definition of a social welfare policy?

Q. What is the definition of a social welfare policy? And are there different types? I don't get it.

A. Social Welfare Policy is the study of social services and the welfare state. In general terms, it looks at the idea of social welfare, and its relationship to politics and society. More specifically, it also considers detailed issues in

1. Policy and administration of social services, including policies for health, housing, income
maintenance, education and social work;

2. needs and issues affecting the users of services, including poverty, old age, health, disability,
and family policy; and

3. the delivery of welfare.

What is a good family health insurance company also with dental?
Q. What is a good family health insurance company also with dental?
I'm looking for a health insurance for my family my daughter has lupus I'm not sure how to go about this. But I Need to find one that can cover me and her almost with dental. Thanks to the people that take their time to write back and help.

A. Ignore the previous answerer.

Since September 2010 all insurance companies must accept kids under 19 as long as they're on a policy with a parent. It no longer matters if they have a pre-existing condition or not.

However, before someone could answer your question they'd need to know the following:

First, they'd need to understand your definition of "good". The best plan would normally mean the most comprehensive coverage, but with some people it means the cheapest and to others it means a combination with the coverage they need. Cheap policies usually mean limited benefits, which may be O K as long as you are aware of those limitations.
Second, they'd need to know your height and weight because insurance companies will decline to accept you or may increase your premium based on your weight. This is only for adults 19 or over.
Third, they'd need to know what your current health condition is because insurance companies will decline to accept you or may increase your premium based on your current health. This is only for adults 19 or over.
Fourth, they'd need to know your location, because insurance companies do not write policies in every state.


In other words, talk with a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area. The agent can help you find the best plan for your situation and budget. They can explain what you get and, more importantly, what you don't get with the "cheap" policies. There is no extra charge using an agent. This is not something that can be answered in this forum.

Dental is always a separate policy. However, some insurance companies will include dental as an option. This doesn't mean that the optional dental is the best for you. Some of my clients will go with the same companies' dental while others will go with a stand-alone dental plan.
