Health Insurance – What Is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis is a disease characterized by the liver being inflamed or swollen. It can cause permanent damage to a person’s liver tissue. Common types of hepatitis are A, B and hepatitis C. Both B and C can lead to permanent liver damage and even death. Viral hepatitis can be food-borne (spread through contaminated food or water), which does not lead to chronic liver problems, or blood-borne which can eventually lead to lethal consequences.

Health Insurance In The United StatesSo like right after such a long time i was told this by irish embassy. When i mentioned i can somehow purchase 3 months comprehensive sickness insurace and translated copy of my bank statements. I was told no i need to show 1 year extensive sickness insurance coverage or either i withdraw my application from the embasssy or i show a job supply for my wife from ireland or face refusal. The issue is even if i purchase 1 year complete sickness insurance coverage i dont have a clue how a lot funds for entire year they want to see. I already showed them funds nearly 4000 euros but who knows if they ask for 10000 euros. In that case my extensive sickness insurance will be a proper waste and waste of 500 euros as nicely. I told to embassy officials that i will try to get job provide. but anyways its been a week now but my wife is unable to get job supply for her so as i cannot join her she is not going anymore to ireland.
