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.
Delmita is an unincorporated community in Starr County, Texas, United States. Its elevation is 272 feet (83 m). Although Delmita is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78536. Originally founded as Zaragosa in 1919, the community's name was changed to Delmita on 1931-04-01 due to confusion with the Reeves County community of Saragosa. The community's first post office was established soon after the community itself was, but a new post office was constructed in 1991. Delmita's importance has fallen through the years; in 1940, it was the most important community in the northeastern part of the county, but it has since been overshadowed by San Isidro.
