How is medical marijuana working out in the states that have legalized it?
Q. I'm doing a speech for school about medical marijuana. I know it's legal in several states. What I don't know is how well these programs are working out. I'm hoping to find the most successful examples of medical marijuana use. My goal is to find the best way to implement such a program in my state, Arkansas, where it is illegal to use marijuana for any reason. I'd like to hear about problems that have come up and what was done to correct them. I am a member of a group of 5 people doing the speech, which is pro legalization of medical marijuana. My portion is 'visualization', where I must speak for about 5 minutes about what it would be like if medical marijuana use were legalized in Arkansas.

A. The state that is probably the most advanced in this area is California. There are several cities and other localities in California that have more or less officially sanctioned medical marijuana and allow "compassion clubs" to operate. These are dispensaries that sell or give marijuana to people who have the proper permits. There have been some reported problems with these clubs. One is that they are sometimes not well-received by the local officials who are using any kind of excuse they can think of to shut them down. In many cases, they get the DEA to raid the places. In other places, such as the Oaksterdam area of Oakland, the facilities receive the support of the local community and were a large part of the reason that a former "war… [cont.]

What Medical Expenses are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax?
Q. The Alternative Minimum Tax may affect many people because of deductions they claimed for medical expenses (in addition to other things). I'm wondering what "medical expenses" means. Is there a even a single definition or does the criteria differ from household to household?
Asked by Astr - Mon Jun 9 01:25:12 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The short answer to your question is: all medical expenses that you currently are used to deducting. If you itemize, you have to figure your AMT as well as your regular tax and pay the higher of the two. When you calculate your Alternative Minimum Tax, you take your regular Adjusted Gross Income and add back most of your itemized deductions (including medical and state and local taxes) as well as a whole bunch of other things that you can normally help yourself lower your tax liability with, and then calculate your AMT on the income less a different "exemption", which replaces the exemptions AND deductions of the regular tax system.

However, unless there is more medical type care going on, a psych office may not need a MA, especially doing "back office"--so you might want to think this through a bit more if you want psych and MA.

What is the medical exam and questions for life insurance like?
Q. We are looking into life insurance. I am wondering what the medical exam and questions are like? How much more typically is it if you have a medical issue (like high blood pressure) compared to if you have good health? We are in our late 20's. I forgot to add, do they only ask your current health for the last 6 months to a year? Or is it your whole health history? I ask because let's say the high blood pressure has been normal for the last 6 months to a year... will they still consider this in their pricing?
Asked by red_grad - Sat Jul 11 15:22:16 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Most life insurance companies will ask about your entire health history. (i.e. have you ever had surgery and if so why? etc. etc.) Additionally most life insurance companies will check your health records to make sure there are not any glaring problems. The medical exam depends on the coverage amount. If you're in your late 20s and high blood pressure is the only issue you have, they will most likely take a blood and urine sample along with checking your blood pressure. If high blood pressure is the only problem you have, it should not be grounds for denial. However it can cause you to get a higher rating.

Q. I'm not sure if they have one but when I was watching Royal Pains on USA he was checking up on this girls boyfriend and he told her that she has a problem: of looking at too much information of medical stuff - like diseases, sickness, etc. And he said a medical term, that when someone looks at too much medical stuff. If anyone knows what I'm talking about from seeing that tele show and that episode and what that medical term was called it would be very appreciative. If that medical term is even real.

How can the Philippines improve medical services when all the medical practitioners are leaving the country?
Q. We all know that there are so many medical practitioners especially nurses who are working abroad. The demand for health care providers in other countries became the apple of the eyes of those in the medical field. Even doctors in the country prefer to practice their expertise abroad or take up nursing for them to be able to work in other countries like the US or somewhere in Europe. But with this, is there any hope for the Philippines to improve its health services when it is currently experiencing brain drain?

A. Dear Tootdee, Your question speaks of two things; your concern for the country and at the same time saying that the medical healthcare is stagnant to say the least. While it's true that Filipino doctors are going out of the country to get better pay it does not necessarily follow that medical healthcare is stagnant. As a matter of fact, advanced medical equipments and big hospitals are opening up. Hospitals which have the amenities of the big hotels are the trend nowadays, concrete examples are Asian Medical Center and the new St. Luke's Medical Center which is undergoing construction at the Fort, the newly developed sprawling business area in Greater Manila Area. So, Medical Healthcare is improving! However, your concern is valid in… [cont.]
