Comments on: Healthcare insurance for the extreme poor http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2005/10/healthcare-insurance-for-extreme-poor.html A conversation on global economic issues, ideas & data to help us all become better contributors to defeating the scourge of extreme global poverty Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:26:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anonymous http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2005/10/healthcare-insurance-for-extreme-poor.html/comment-page-1#comment-27 Anonymous Mon, 06 Mar 2006 18:24:00 +0000 http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2005/10/healthcare-insurance-for-the-extreme-poor.html#comment-27 I am curious, what would be necessary to allow individuals to have access to a form of insurance that could help them in the event of a disabling disease or debilitating injury? How successful have programs been that attempt to provide this type of insurance? Can they even persuade individuals of the necessity of this insurance, or are they resistant to investing in this type of service? Lots of questions I realize but I have never thought of this problem before and am interested in hearing how individuals can help.
