Weekend Writing Idea – February 22, 2008

If you're a single freelancer, chances are good that you don't have health insurance. And, if you do have health insurance, chances are also good that your premiums are going up, your coverage is fluctuating, and you're overall displeased with how the insurance company jerks you around. So here's your weekend writing idea. Write about the health insurance industry.

How does one find a good health insurance company?
What does a person who does not have health insurance do when they get sick?
What are some ways to save on health care?
How does a person find doctors in their health insurance network?
How can a person object to a health insurance company's decision?
What do you do if you have a "pre-existing condition"?
What are lawmakers trying to do to change the health insurance system? (Are they really doing anything?)
What can individuals do to take a stand against the corrupt health insurance system?
How is health care different for the insured vs. the uninsured?
