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.
Mannford is a town in Creek, Pawnee, and Tulsa counties in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The population was 2,095 at the 2000 census. A bedroom community of Tulsa sitting on Lake Keystone, this town is known as the Striped Bass Capital of the World. The town nearly became extinct in the early 1960s when the entire town had to move due to the creation of Lake Keystone. Mannford is also known for its bigfoot sightings. Many hunters have been quoted as seeing the apelike creature roaming the landscape.
