I am already on medication for both BiPolar and anxiety, so I suppose that talk therapy about the causes of my episodes would be helpful, too.

Question by smilinginside5: What % of yearly income to deduct health care from taxes?
How much of your salary do you have to pay in health care premiums and out of pocket expenses (like clinic bills) to be able to itemize them and use them as a deduction on your federal taxes? I’ve added it all up, premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, and co-pays at clinics and dental offices and it’s about 17% of our yearly income.(somewhere around 7-8 grand) Is this enough of our income to qualify to do this? And how much of that amount do you usually get back? Thanks
And how much of what you deduct do you get back?!

Answer by wartz
You can deduct health care expenses to the extent they are more than 7.5% of your income.

Question by 11X: When will I start receiving health insurance from the military?
I was being insured through my college but that has now expired since I withdrew to enlist in the Army. To my knowledge, most if not all of the benefits don’t kick in until after I’ve graduated OSUT. I assume this includes health insurance too? I would like to know when that starts because I need to find an insurance policy between now and then.

Question by Holographer: What are some possible negative health effects from drinking several gallons of coffee per day?
Ever since I started working at home, I have been brewing up five or six 10-cup pots of coffee per day, and drinking them throughout the day. If I work late, I might end up drinking over five gallons of coffee. My average is probably 3.25 to 3.5 gallons of coffee per day.
I only started doing this a few weeks ago; what are some possible negative health effects if I keep this up?
I mean, aside from needing to urinate all the time?

Answer by Vroom625
Oh my gosh, are you kidding me!?
First of all, this cannot be healthy for your sleep. You really need to be getting 6-8 hours of DEEP sleep and drinking that much coffee will prevent a Deep sleep.
Second, any coffee after 2 pm will inhibite your ability to sleep
Third, Drinking that much coffee is horrible for your stomach. Coffee is acidic and it most definitely wears on the stomach lining. I know of someone who now cna only consume lettuce and one other thing(i forget) due to drinking a pot of coffee every day
Fourth, caffine in coffee is substantially stronger than that of a soda, therefore in large doses, it causes irregular beating of the heart.
There are a lot of benefits of coffee if consumed in smaller amounts. I am an addict but that is excessively unhealthy. Cut back, please

Question by 5_hour_energy: How much will health insurance take out from hospital bill?
I just got out of the hospital and my bill is reprtedly around 00 US dollars. WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. Now the thing I do have health insurance I just havn’t given it to them yet.
How much would health insurance exactly take out? I have Blue Cross and it covers my family. My family has NEVER gotten into injuries so this would be one of the few ones we will ever have. Thanks. And also we have been paying them for many many years.
Best answer:
Answer by Zarnev
There is something very strange about somebody who would go into the hospital without giving their insurance information. This is the first question that medical providers ask. What did you tell them?
To answer your question – nobody here will know because nobody here knows which of the hundreds of different Blue Cross plans you have. In general, having the insurance will result in the hospital repricing the charges so you can subtract 30 – 50% which would put the bill at 00 to 00. You will then subtract your deductible if it has not yet been met this year. You will then multiply the result by your co-insurance.

Question by thelibraunique: What happens to your health when you withdrawl from ejaculation?
Let’s say you ejaculate daily, then you stop for 2-3 days, or a week, or a month.
Would the build-up of semen be hazardous to your health in those conditions? And, how is depression affected by ejaculation?
Best answer:
Answer by Thamain P
It’s you again with the ejaculation question. You can have wet dreams but other than that I don’t see any harm in holding it back. Many people have learned how not to come and it is called ” edging”.
