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.
Poolville is an unincorporated town in Parker County, Texas, United States founded by Sam Jones in 1814 along Farm Road 920, about 17 miles northwest of Weatherford, the county seat. It is home to a few hundred residents, and a school district with three campuses, a seed and feed company, a post office, a convenience store, and a storage facility. There are three churches in the town; a Methodist church, a Southern Baptist church, and a Church of Christ. The Church of Christ building is located just west of the town square, behind the seed company. Fires came through this small town because of a drought. The drought lasted for 8 months.
