How to Save Money and Get Discount Homeowner’s Insurance in Colorado

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

Although the laws in Colorado don t state that you absolutely must have homeowner s insurance for your property, there are many good reasons to. Anytime someone purchases a home they are making a very large investment, in many cases, it s the single biggest purchase they will ever make. If the reason not to get insurance on your home is monetary based, here are a few tips that will get you the coverage you need, without costing too much:

- Ask the company who handles your car insurance or health insurance if they offer a discount for life insurance for their customers. Many companies offer a bargain if you take out policies for more than one type of insurance.
- Having an alarm system installed in your home can save money on your insurance premiums. It s also a great way to protect your house when you re at work or on vacation.
- Take a higher deductible. Quite often insurance companies will offer a better rate if you take a higher deductible. Instead of the standard $200 deductible, ra (more...)

Medicaid Falls Short for Nursing Homes

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

First, what is Medicaid?……….

Well, Medicaid is a Federal medical bills assistance program that pays medical bills for eligible, needy persons. It is administered by each state. All payments are made directly to the providers of medical and other health care services. The Medicaid-eligible person does not pay the health care provider for services. The only exception is a patient in a Medicaid-approved nursing facility who may be required to contribute part of his/her income toward the cost of care.

Medicaid is welfare for the poor, the true and honest poor. Medicaid is NOT for people of means trying to fake impoverishment in order to get on the dole. That door has been slammed shut.

Reflecting a national problem, leaders of North Carolina s nursing home and long-term care facilities say that the money which Medicaid provides for patient care simply isn t enough to cover costs.

North Carolina s problems reflect a grrowing national concern. It s a trend that lik (more...)

Cheap Loan Protection Insurance Can Be Found

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

The consumer s faith in loan protection has taken a beating recently, however without a doubt having the cover should be given some serious consideration and cheap loan protection insurance can be found if you know where to take it from. By far the best way to purchase your cover is to go with a standalone provider, only then can you be sure that you are going to get the cheapest quote for the premium on the loan protection.

Loan protection is usually offered alongside a loan or credit card by the high street lender, but purchasing the cover this way without first investigating your other options, is a sure way to get ripped off when it comes to paying the premium.

While not many like to think of the worst happening it can and if you should find yourself out of work due to an accident, long term sickness or unemployment then you could find yourself struggling to meet the monthly loan repayments. This is when a policy will come into play. Usually you have to be out of work for a specified amo (more...)

How Can I Get Cheap Auto Insurance in New York?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

In New York State there are several things you can do to ensure the best possible auto insurance rate. No one wants to pay more for insurance than they have to. Here are some tips:

First make sure the information is correct: Proper address, correct vehicle information, your name and age are correct, and the vehicle is properly classified.

Take a DMV approved auto accident prevention course. Your insurance company must apply a credit to your premiums for three years if you take and complete the course. Additionally, if you have points (violations) on your driver s license, this course will remove up four of them (hopefully you don t have more than that).

Automatic seatbelts and airbags will earn you a credit on your medical payments and no fault (not on the liability nor physical damage) coverages. A small credit, but a credit none the less.

Anti lock brakes is a biggie and earns a discount on most of your policy coverages.

Daytime running lamps will earn a furt (more...)

The Mystery behind Women’s Cheap Car Insurance

Monday, June 28th, 2004

Actually, there is no mystery behind women s cheap car insurance. Statistics show that women drivers are involved in fewer car accidents than men drivers therefore, car insurance companies feel women drivers are less of a risk to insure than men drivers. Statistics also show that the car accidents in which women drivers are involved cause less bodily and property damage than those car accidents in which men drivers are involved. Of course, this only adds salt to the wound for men drivers looking for cheap car insurance!

There are other factors that go into the statistics of women drivers as compared to men drivers. Women drivers are more likely than men to pass their driver license exams on the first try. Car insurance companies see this as evidence that more women drivers are likely to take the initiative and put forth the effort to study, rather than head to the DMV overly confident about their driving skills and understanding of the road.

Statistically, women drivers also are not inv (more...)
