What Are “Unacceptable” Health Insurance Plans?
May 16th, 2010 by InsuranceProtecting
There is much talk surrounding the upcoming penalties associated with health insurance reform. The most significant financial penalty is intended for those who refuse to buy a health plan altogether: either individuals or employers. That begins in 2014.
At the same time, another financial penalty will be levied against those employers who only offer so-called “unacceptable” health insurance plans. That provision will affect far more companies. What does it entail?
As many people know, the healthcare reform law creates minimum acceptable standards for coverage. For example, their plan must cover preventative care services. However, this provision is more closely related with costs. According to the legislation, an employer-based health insurance plan is unacceptable if the share of premiums to be covered by an employee reaches over 9.5 percent of their annual household income.

How Does My Credit Rating Influence My Insurance Premium?
May 7th, 2010 by InsuranceProtecting
Let’s start by defining an “Insurance Premium” Everyone knows that an insurance premium is the amount of money that you pay to your insurance company, in exchange to be insured with a certain amount of coverage. You basically give your money to an insurance company, who in turn, promises to cover your losses in certain situations up the agreed amount of coverage.
Many factors go into calculating your insurance premium. The most well-known of these factors for auto insurance are age, driving record, years licensed, car make and model, miles driven per year, primary use of vehicle (work or personal use), and most important is credit history. Contrary to what many people believe, insurance companies do not consider vehicle color major factor in determining auto insurance premiums.

Auto warranty companies provide a cheaper alternative when it comes to purchasing an extended service contract. When most people purchase a car from the dealership, they also purchase everything else that is needed to complete the car buying process. Although it is convenient to be able to go to one place for all your automotive needs, this convenience will cost you more money than if you shopped around at different places.
