HMOs primary goals are to deliver high-quality care in an environment that manages or controls costs, that the care delivered is medically needed, and the care is rendered by the most appropriate provider. HMOs cover their member to be able to see doctors and be admitted to hospitals(only those involved in HMO), with a monthly premium (which is usually lower than other health cares). HMOs are the most restrictive type of health plan because they give members the least choice in selecting a health care provider.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> //1.

__<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> ** Nursing Homes **__ (Jon C) A nursing home is a place where you take old people who need extra care but you dont love them enough to provide them that care. In a nursing home there are nurses that take care of their elderly residences. This includes everything from bathing them to feeding them. When considering nursing homes dont just go for the cheapest home. You should consider the different pros and cons of each home. Some of the things you should look for when determining the pros and cons of are if there call bells near the toilet, sink and tub, if dining room personnel trained in the Heimlich maneuver, and if religious services available. A few nursing homes in the Lancaster county area are, Bretheren Village, Conestoga view, and Golden Living Center.

//What should you consider when looking for a nursing home? What is the main job of a nursing home?//

**Medicaid** began about 40 years ago while being ran by the individual states mostly. It is funded by both the state and government though. Medicaid is a system for people who can't afford medical bills and treatments on their own income. It does not give money to the user but sends it directly to the health care. You must meet age, income, being pregnant, blind, disabled, and other measures in order to recieve medicaid. The government has a system to scan people into the program. Medicaid also includes dental care under social security. It is the largest overall source for medical care funding. //What are some criterias one must meet to recieve medicaid? What does medicaid do?//

__ **Medicare** __ consists of 4 parts: a) Hospital insurance b) Medical insurance c) Medicare advantage-choice of health care providers d) Prescription drug coverage Medicare is our country's health program for senior citizens(65+). It is financed by a portion of all payroll taxes.
