401K: 401K is one option of seeking for retirement benefits. This is only for private companies who are willing to contribute a certain percentage of what you want to share. Mostly companies contribute 3% of your salary. You have to withdraw your money at your retirement age because withdrawing it early, you will pay for a penalty of as much as 35% and federal will tax you 10% more.
Pensions: A pension is a retirement account that an employer maintains to give you a fixed payout when you retire. Usually tax exempt, and the employer's makes contributions toward a pool of funds set aside for an employees benefits in the future. Pensions are only given out to private companies or for the people that work in the government they tend to not be given out to the public. If the person dies the spouse can still keep receiving his pension. The average pension in California is $29,000. Due to the high cost of living in California, many of our senior citizens can't live their retirement how they are supposed to. The average retired senior lives month to month with his pension with the prices of medicine being high sometimes they can't afford to buy all their medication. Many of them rely on government help such as living assistance, affordable senior housing or the use of their SSI. Many opt for part time jobs to afloat.
Social Security: Social Security is a benefit that most people receive and it is one of the only benefits people actually get for sure. Social Security pays disability benefits to you and certain members of your family but you have to work long enough and most people do end up working the amount they need to. Most of the people that receive social security benefits are the retired workers and they make up 63.0% of it. An average monthly benefit for social security if you are 62 years old is $1070. A lot of people only just end up living of the social security benefits but that still isn't enough for them to survive every month.

AB 109 shifts the responsibility for incarcerating many low-risk
inmates from the state to counties. This
shift from state to county is also being called "prison realignment."

As part of this law, the state will continue to incarcerate
offenders who commit serious, violent, or

state prison inmates could be transferred to county jails over three years, under the bill.

Overcapacity: in
2011, the U.S. Supreme Court had discovered that the prisons were
overcrowding, that crazy and sad part about this was that the prisons were double the designed
capacity. The prisoner's safety and health was in endangered and not promised. The court told the state
to decrease the prison population by ten thousands to 110,000 or near 137.5 percent of the capacity.

Health care in the US
The Affordable Care
Act
According to the npr.org," the
Affordable Care
Act had ardent critics and supporters long before
last fall's launch of the Healthcare website".
Opponents of Obamacare say the law will reduce,
not increase, the number of health plans available
to Americans and that fewer consumers will be able
to afford care than before. They also argue that
delays in implementation of portions of the law
demonstrate how the Obama administration has
been forced to undermine its own law in order to
keep it running. However, the supporters ofthe law
argue that the new law is working. They point to
provisions like enabling young adults to get insured
under their parent's policies and denying coverage
based on a pre-existing condition can no longer be
done. The law also suppresses increases in health
care cost. The ACA ends arbitrary withdrawals of
insurance coverage, meaning just because you
made an honest mistake your coverage can be
cancelled. You are guaranteed a right to an appeal
in the event your plan has denied payment.

Thanks to the Obama Administration, the
Affordable Care Act has taken some of the
stress off of most emergency rooms. According
to the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation, "the
majority of the uninsured are in low-income
working families and the high cost of insurance
is the reason why people go without
coverage". Due to a weak economy and loss of
jobs, family incomes have declined and
employer sponsored coverage has decreased
among families. Because of these two
important facts, the uninsured are driven to
the emergency room for care that should be
handled in a doctor's office or out-patient
clinic.

credit?:
If your credit score is low you will be charged a
higher premium.
If your credit score is high you will be offered a
low and more convenient premium. |
5) Health Care for the
undocumented
population:
Being undocumented in America
with no
health insurance could be something really difficult to deal with. Especially, if you're a parent raising a family without health insurance, if you're a student still trying to pay off your classes, or if you're simply just a worker living paycheck by paycheck. So what does the undocumented population do when they're feeling really sick or have a serious health problem that needs to be checked out? On a more serious note, what if an undocumented person is pregnant with no health insurance? The cost of a pregnancy without health insurance will be around $14,000-$29,000 just for doctor visit and the delivery procedure. |
Undocumented people
with the following
may qualify for private health insurance: -Valid non-immigrant visas
Process to obtain a visa:
1. Petition
2.Interview (After
documents are
submitted and petition is approved)
- A temporary resident status
or LIFE Act
-Dream Act (for students who
meet certain
requirements)
-Humanitarian statuses or
circumstances
|
- Temporary protected status
- Special juvenile status
- Asylum applicants

they provide healthcare to all their residents as a constitutional
right. Their doctors are excellent and all nurses are certified. They
have no out of pocket fees, beside prescription drugs.
Costa Rica has the best healthcare system in the
South America, they have the (SSCC) which is a government sponsored
healthcare plan that offers free care to all of their residents. They
also have affordable and good quality private healthcare. A visit to the
doctor's office may cost $60 or less.
England and Germany share similar thoughts and
forms of healthcare as Spain and the rest of the European countries.
They also find impossible to believe that the US is going to start
fining their residents for not having health care. They believe
healthcare should be provided by the government.

yes, including nonresidents. Michael Moore proves this statement in his
documentary "SICKO" (could be found on Netflix) by taking a crew of 9/11
rescue workers who needed medical care due to the damage created by the
incident. Most of the had respiratory problems from the smoke and dust
in the atmosphere and working in that environment.Once there, he told
the doctor to treat them as they would treat their residents. The rescue
workers were relieved and appreciative because the treatment was great
and most importantly absolutely free. They were even able to take some
medication home.
US Healthcare includes Medical which is free
healthcare only for certain low income families and Medicare is offered
to the elderly, starting from 65 years of age. Now, with the affordable
healthcare Act things may better.
