Washington likes acronyms when it comes to lawmaking and this new law is no exception. This is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and this November sees it finally come into force. Because it affects both employers and the insurance industry, this has been a hard-fought change and was only signed into law last year. Now it should prevent you from obvious discrimination. Sadly, it does not rule out discrimination by backdoor means. If an employer overhears you talking at the water cooler or routinely surveys local news including the obituaries, it is legal to use this information. But, overall, you should find some improvement. It covers two different situations with the same type of result. Firstly, it prohibits employers from asking you to go through a genetic test or making genetic information the basis of deciding whether to hire, promote or fire you. Secondly, it prohibits insurers from testing or demanding genetic information about you or your family in deciding whether to offer you coverage, in setting the premium rate and level of the deductible, or continue the cover.

Let’s be completely clear. The law does not care who is asking for the information If it is going to be used for either purpose, the asking is unlawful. If this happens to you in an interview, it may pose a dilemma. If you cite the law and refuse to answer, the interviewer may think you a troublemaker with something to hide and not hire you. That you can complain to the local Department of Labor and take satisfaction in seeing a civil penalty imposed, this does not replace the offer of employment in these difficult economic times. The temptation to answer will be strong. But when it comes to insurance companies, you must stand up and assert your rights. If the insurer persists, report to your state’s Department of Insurance. This will put the insurers at risk of losing their license to sell policies in your state. This is a big stick to wave in defense of your rights. More importantly, the Department can order the insurers to offer you insurance on regular terms which protects you. Once employed, it’s just as important to stay alert. The operators of group health plans are known to offer incentives like lower premiums to employees who answer a questionnaire including questions about their family medical history. Obviously, insurers want to know if there is a risk of serious diseases like cancer. You might be more at risk if there is a history of cancer in your family. Everyone should refuse to answer.

The reason for the law is important. Genetic tests are increasingly important in diagnosis and deciding on the best treatment for medical problems. Too many patients were refusing these tests because they feared discrimination should their employers or health insurance companies learn of the results. The medical profession strongly supported this change in employment and insurance law. Doctors want to be able to make an accurate diagnosis which means using the best available tests. With this law in place, your rights should be protected. If you are considering a change in insurer, remember you cannot be discriminated against when the companies give you health insurance quotes. They must always be able to prove their quotes are close to the average for people of your age, gender and general social background. If you think you are being victimized, complain.

Is it true that red car owners have more speeding tickets than people whose cars are colored differently? Does your insurance company set rates according to the color of your car’s body? Have colors have anything to do with the likelihood of car accident occurrence? These are questions you asked yourself at least once.

Is the red car really fast?

You have definitely heard numerous stories telling about red cars being ticketed far more often and costing more to insure than cars of any other color, even if there’s no statistical proof of such information. Because there’s no official data on that matter it’s really hard to say what color is riskier, however insurance companies and police officials state that they never link the color of the car to actual claims or tickets.

Of course, the best idea is driving within speed limits regardless of your car color. Even if you have a red car, respecting the speed limits will prevent you from getting tickets. And chances of your insurance being costly are the same as the other guy driving his green SUV in the next lane.

Color and character

It may be irrelevant to speeding tickets and insurance rates, but what does the color red tell about you as a person? It may not affect the number of tickets you receive, but what does your car color say about your personality? Many psychologists of various schools that work with colors tend to attribute the color of red to aggressive behavior, describing people who like this color as risk-lovers and very active persons. That’s probably where the whole red car insurance story comes from - red means more risk, and more risk means higher premiums.

Color and money

But is this all true? Do auto insurance rates depend on what color your car is painted in? And will the rates go down if you repaint your vehicle? No, no and no!

Some people tend to believe that the VIN contains information on your vehicle color and when the insurance company uses your VIN to set the rates for you, they include your color into the calculations as well. In reality, there’s much more to VIN than just body color and the insurance company won’t even pay attention to this factor, being interested in production year, make, model, engine size and other more important technical data for determining your auto insurance rates. And the only way you can get higher auto insurance rates for your red car is it being a Ferrari, Lamborghini or another expensive fast car that is generally quite costly to insure regardless of body color.

So if you really want to drive a red car enjoy doing it for as much as you like without worries. That is having in mind that you will be driving with respect to speed limits, less aggressively and making everything possible to avoid traffic accidents. Which applies to all car owners that want to have cheaper auto insurance regardless of what color is their car. It can be painted like zebra if you will, but if you drive safely it will still cost you less to insure the vehicle!

Even non-drivers should think about becoming a member of an auto club. There are just too many advantages of joining such a club to not getting into one right away.

Of course, not all stores, services and hotels will have it written about discounts right at their front desk, but it never hurts to ask. The savings you will get with an auto club member’s card are sometimes just so considerable that paying a yearly fee will look ridiculous in comparison.

• Booking train, bus and airline tickets
• Repairing your auto or buying spare parts
• Going to movies, parks, attractions and other entertainment facilities

Insurance costs and security

But the discounts are not limited only to these types of insurance, and you may opt for price cuts when getting other insurance products as well, including:

• Term life insurance for a group of beneficiaries
• Medical coverage for a short period of time
• Insurance for long-term care
• Umbrella-type personal liability coverage
• Flood coverage
• Personal possessions coverage

And there’s even more

• Mortgage home loan services
• Auto loans and auto insurance

The modern Western society is at war, which influences and affects virtually all domains of life and forces people to reconsider traditions, judgments and practices. This is the war of sexes. And if some domains women are left by men behind, when it comes to insuring Why insuring your life?

The major reason for insuring one’s life is taking responsibility. People tend to have more responsibility over their family, their debts, their property and other things as the life goes on. And when it ends, these responsibilities are left over without security. When you insure your life you take care of your responsibilities when you’re gone, providing the necessary support to your family or those who need it.

Term or permanent policy?

When insuring your life you are likely to encounter two distinct types of policies: term and permanent (also known as cash value). The first provide less costly coverage for a specified amount of time and can be renewed after the term expires. The second usually pay out more money upon the person’s death but are more expensive in general. There are also convertible types of policies, which let you switch from term to permanent when needed without canceling it. Cash value insurance policies cover the person throughout the whole life and are sometimes used more like investments and financial tools rather than simple insurance. Some people use them as retirement plan funding source. So choosing whether to go with term or permanent insurance, you have to decide what you really want from your policy.

Defining the amount of coverage

How much coverage to take with your policy is defined by the amount of income to be replaced when you’re gone. Life insurance in that sense is your replacement in terms of financing, so you should take your usual earnings as a starting point in defining the final amount. Think of the money amount your family would need to sustain a good life when you’re gone - this should be the approximate amount to take with your insurance policy.

For what period?

When getting term life insurance the duration of the policy usually varies between 1 to 30 years. Defining the term means thinking about your exact insurance needs you have in the first place. Want to make sure your new-born child is going to college no matter what? Make it 20 years then! There are also additional benefits provided by different types of policies, so make sure to learn more from your life insurance provider when choosing the policy.

Premiums

The price you will have to pay for life insurance (premiums) strongly depends on your age, health, marital status and several other factors. That is if you’re a smoker, have bad habits and are well in your 50’s this means that your premiums will be higher than in case of a younger individual with no bad habits. Take not that some policies will change premiums over time and some won’t. So it’s better to clear things out before you actually sign the policy, or you may find your efforts in smoking cessation and improving your lifestyle senseless as the premiums won’t change because of these actions.

Comparison shopping

Never get life insurance from the first company you encounter. Try getting as much insurance quotes as possible to get a good picture of the whole market and your options. Choose wisely, because life insurance is a long-term product and your decision can make you pay less or turn the policy into a financial burden. And who needs that?

There is something deeply annoying when people in a particular trade or industry start using jargon and letters to talk to us. What is wrong with the English language? Why must they hide the meaning? Why do they believe we will be impressed? The insurance industry is one of the worst offenders. By the time the experts have finished describing the different health plans and the lawyers have wrapped everything in obscurity, we seem left with a take-it-or-leave it choice. They seem to be saying, “close your eyes, trust everyone has your interests to heart, and pick something out of the alphabet soup.” Well here is a quick tour through two of the most common plans to help you decide.

The essence of all plans is a definition of the healthcare professionals available to deliver the care should you need it. The wider the choice you have, the higher the premiums you will be required to pay. With a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), a group of healthcare providers contracts with an insurance company to deliver services to the policy holders. Because the insurance company guarantees a high volume of business to the group, the rate for the services is lower than usual and so the premium rates charged and copayments are also lower. Access to the services is controlled by a primary care physician. He or she will refer you on to other members of the group for different specialist services. If you want to go outside the group, you will have to pay the difference between the HMO rate and the actual cost of your own choice doctor. Although this is the cheapest form of plan, the lowness of the fees charged by the group encourages members to see as many patients as possible every day.

A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) also contracts with an insurance company, but the relationship is less restrictive and the rates are slightly higher. In this plan, you are free to choose any doctor within the group without having to get a referral. If you decide to see someone outside the group, you will have to pay the out-of-pocket expenses. Here, you are paying slightly more to have more control over your treatment options. So, for example, if your own doctor is not a member of an HMO, you would have to change. With a PPO, you can continue to see your own doctor.

All health insurance decisions are a balancing of costs and benefits. In this case, the choice between an HMO and PPO comes down to what you can afford and whether you prefer more control over the care you and your family receive. It is fair to say that the majority pick the cheaper option of an HMO and then complain about the restrictions. This does not mean the quality of the care is worse than in a PPO. It simply reflects most people’s preference to make their own informed decisions. Perhaps it is cynical but, whichever you pick, it is better than not having insurance. When the choice is offered through your employer, look carefully at the cost differences in copayments and out-of-pocket expenses. If you are paying privately, get the maximum number of health insurance quotes. When you see a wide range of offers, it is easier to find the best deal.

When people choose to insure their life this can be taken as a form of utter care for their loved ones, because such insurance policies protect dependents from loss of income due to the policyholder’s death. This is an effective way to secure mortgage loans, child care, education and other costly services that will be hard to pay for in case the main source of income for the family ceases to exist. Besides, certain types of this insurance allow accumulation of funds on a savings account, which further can be used as an investment tool for different purposes. Many people use this type of insurance as an alternative to retirement plans, but the possibilities are not limited to just that.

In order to insure your life in Texas you should first make sure that the company or agent you’re looking forward working with is licensed for operating in the state by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). In order to verify that all you need to do is contact TDI customer support either by phone (1-800-252-3439; 463-6515 in Austin) or visit the official website of Texas Department of Insurance After you’ve verified the insurance company you can either contact it directly or work with an insurance agent or broker to help you determine, which insurance policy is most suitable for your insurance needs.

Before you sign any contracts or policies with the insurance company, you should be aware of your customer rights, which give you some benefits that might be quite useful in certain situation. Here are your rights if you buy life insurance in Texas:

Prompt benefit payout. The insurance company should process your claim within 15 days upon its filing, and provide you with the result within 45 days or provide explanations if there are any delays. In case of an individual life insurance policy, the company should also pay out an interest on the death benefit provided by the policy.

Due premium payment. In Texas life insurance policies, regardless if it’s cheap life insurance or costly continuous coverage, have a 31-day grace period that starts after your premium payment due date, in which you are able to cover the premium without any additional fees. In case the person insured passes away during this period, the person specified in the policy automatically receives the death benefit with subtracted amount of the due premium.

Policy lapse. You may renew your policy after it has lapsed within five years according to Texas laws. However, your insurance company has the right to require additional fees as well as current health condition check before providing you again with coverage.

Remember that the general rules of buying insurance apply in Texas as well. In order to find a really good policy that will meet your needs for a reasonable price you still have no better option than life insurance quotes. Try to get as many quotes from different companies as you can in order to have a detailed picture of the offer in the local market. But always make sure to check if the company is licensed to operate in Texas before signing any contracts or policies. Be a smart and careful shopper, it always pays off to be one!

When a person decides to get insurance for his or her house, it’s certainly a cheap policy they are looking for. And by cheap we mean having a low price for the largest bundle and amount of coverage possible. And to much surprise, it is really possible if you know the rules of the game.

But what are the rules, you might ask? While there are many hidden stones in such a complex industry as insurance, there are certain guidelines that you will find very useful and effective when choosing a new policy or looking to switch you current home insurance provider. So here are the essential Dos and DON’Ts of home insurance that would be very wise to follow:

DO: Find an online service that will allow you to get quotes from multiple home insurance providers, necessarily licensed in your area of residence.

DON’T: Buy the first policy you are offered with when shopping.

DO: Contact an insurance agent in person to tailor your policy and make sure you’re getting the best and most adequate coverage for the money you pay.

DON’T: Drop home insurance or necessary types of coverage altogether just to lower the costs.

DO: Review your deductibles and adjust them if needed to relate adequately to your financial abilities if an insurance situation takes place. Remember that higher deductibles will eventually lower you rates.

DON’T: Raise your deductibles to the amount you will find hard to pay in case it comes to filing a claim.

DO: Speak to your insurance agent to learn if there are any homeowners insurance discounts provided by your insurer you are eligible for.

DON’T: Forget about updating your insurance coverage after adding square footage to your house, performing important modifications (installing ventilation or security systems), or buying expensive things that are to be kept on your property.

DO: Find a provider that will carry more types of insurance rather than only homeowners insurance, for you can receive substantial discounts if having your auto, life, health and home insurance policies with the same carrier.

DON’T: Drop substantial amounts of liability coverage in order to save money because some day it can be really helpful and your savings can lead to serious losses if you do not have enough liability coverage.

DO: Renew your policy and avoid cancellations because it will get more expensive to renew it or get a new one if your policy was simply void without any reason.

DON’T: Drop your homeowners insurance policy in case your mortgage lender doesn’t require it anymore or you have paid off your loan.

Try to employ as many of these tips as possible and you will see that having good homeowners insurance with low rates and adequate coverage is really possible. Keep in mind that having cheap coverage can turn around to be very costly when facing an insurance situation. So try to get adequate coverage while still having your family budget in mind. Shop around and find the best policy out there to keep your house protected no matter what.
