Health care law encompasses the laws and regulations governing hospital and health care administration, and an understanding of health care insurance is integral to it. There are significant differences in the types and amount of coverage provided by various private insurance policies, such as HMOs, PPOs, disability insurance, and hospital indemnity insurance, just as there are important differences in the cost to the purchasers of health insurance. There are also public health care insurance programs. Elderly and disabled persons may be eligible for coverage through the federal Medicare program. The joint state-federal Medicaid program helps certain individuals, including disabled persons and low-income elderly persons, pay for long-term care and in-home health care.
White Horse Beach is a village of Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. It consists of public beach in the Manomet section of Plymouth and is located on Cape Cod Bay, south of Priscilla Beach and north of Manomet Point. At the north end of the beach is a rock sticking out of the water with an American flag painted on. This act of patriotism was performed to cover a Nazi swastika painted on the rock, so it is said by locals. Much of the southern end of the beach, which is also known as Taylor Avenue Beach, beyond the outflow of Bartlett Pond, either has cottages on it or is fenced off to protect the dunes and fragile plant life. There is a small business district just beyond the north end of the beach. It has a general store and a Post Office. Its ZIP code is 02381. Residents and businesses in this village that are non-Post Office box holders use Plymouth's ZIP code of 02360. Further inland are St. Catherine's Church and White Horse Cemetery, located behind the Second Church of Plymouth at Manomet Four Corners, which dates back to the early 1700s.
