Melih Oztalay asked:


Many Americans rely on their automobiles to get to work. No automobile means no job, no rent or mortgage money, no food. A single parent, struggling to make ends meet in the suburbs with 100,000 miles on the odometer, would presumably welcome the guaranteed opportunity for low-priced insurance that would take care of every possible repair on her auto until the day that it reaches 200,000 miles or falls apart, whichever comes first. Especially if the insurance is valid regardless of whether she even changes the oil in the interim.

So why aren’t the auto insurance companies writing such coverage, either directly or through used auto dealers? And given the importance of reliable transportation, why isn’t the public demanding such coverage? The answer is that both auto insurers and the public know that such insurance can’t be written for a premium the insured can afford, while still allowing the insurers to stay solvent and make a profit. As a society, we intuitively understand that the costs associated with taking care of every mechanical need of an old automobile, particularly in the absence of regular maintenance, aren’t insurable. Yet we don’t seem to have these same intuitions with respect to health insurance.

If we pull the emotions out of health insurance, which is admittedly hard to do even for this author, and look at health insurance from the economic perspective, there are several insights from auto insurance that can illuminate the design, risk selection, and rating of health insurance.

Auto insurance comes in two forms: the traditional insurance you buy from your agent or direct from an insurance company, and warranties that are purchased from auto manufacturers and dealers. Both are risk transfer and sharing devices and I’ll generically refer to both as insurance. Because auto third-party liability insurance has no equivalent in health insurance, for traditional auto insurance, I’ll examine only collision and comprehensive insurance – insurance covering the vehicle – and not third-party liability insurance.

Bumper to Bumper

The following are some commonly accepted principles from auto insurance:

* Bad maintenance voids certain insurance. If an automobile owner never changes the oil, the auto’s power train warranty is void. In fact, not only does the oil need to be changed, the change needs to be performed by a certified mechanic and documented. Collision insurance doesn’t cover cars purposefully driven over a cliff.

* The best insurance is offered for new models. Bumper-to-bumper warranties are offered only on new cars. As they roll off the assembly line, automobiles have a low and relatively consistent risk profile, satisfying the actuarial test for insurance pricing. Furthermore, auto manufacturers usually wrap at least some coverage into the price of the new auto in order to encourage an ongoing relationship with the owner.

* Limited insurance is offered for old model autos. Increasingly limited insurance is offered for old model autos. The bumper-to-bumper warranty expires, the power train warranty eventually expires, and the amount of collision and comprehensive insurance steadily decreases based on the market value of the auto.

* Certain older autos qualify for additional insurance. Certain older autos can qualify for additional coverage, either in terms of warranties for used autos or increased collision and comprehensive insurance for vintage autos. But such insurance is offered only after a careful inspection of the automobile itself.

* No insurance is offered for normal wear and tear. Wiper blades need replacement, brake pads wear out, and bumpers get dings. These aren’t insurable events. To the extent that a new car dealer will sometimes cover some of these costs, we intuitively understand that we’re ‘paying for it’ in the cost of the automobile and that it’s ‘not really’ insurance.

* Accidents are the only insurable event for the oldest automobiles. Accidents are generally insurable events even for the oldest autos; with few exceptions service work isn’t.

* Insurance doesn’t restore all vehicles to pre-accident condition. Auto insurance is limited. If the damage to the auto at any age exceeds the value of the auto, the insurer then pays only the value of the auto. With the exception of vintage autos, the value assigned to the auto goes down over time. So whereas accidents are insurable at any vehicle age, the amount of the accident insurance is increasingly limited.

* Insurance is priced to the risk. Insurance is priced based on the risk profile of both the automobile and the driver. The auto insurer carefully examines both when setting rates.

* We pay for our own insurance. And with few exceptions, automobile insurance isn’t tax deductible. As a result, the fear of increasing insurance rates due to traffic violations and/or accidents changes our driving behavior and we sometimes select our automobiles based on their insurability.

Each of the above principles is supported by solid actuarial theory. Although most Americans can’t describe the underlying actuarial theories, most everyone understands the above principles of auto insurance at the intuitive level. For sure, as indispensable automobiles are to our lifestyles, there is no loud national movement, accompanied by moral outrage, to change these principles.

Unsustainable Market

In contrast, similar principles are routinely violated in health insurance. To demonstrate this, let’s return to the same suburban mother from the opening paragraph. She’s busy working, driving to and from work, and driving her kids to school and activities. She ends each day exhausted, sitting on the couch with fast food. She’s obese, has a sedentary life, a bad diet, and hasn’t taken the time to go to the doctor in years. After a simple injury doesn’t heal for weeks, she turns up at the emergency room and learns she has type II diabetes. Although type II diabetes is controllable, changing diet and exercise habits and properly tracking her condition takes time and effort and she’s never quite successful in implementing the necessary lifestyle changes.

So the initial emergency room visit is only the first of a long list of health care related to non-controlled diabetes and other problems associated with obesity. Whether she has individual or group insurance, her insurance pays for each episode of care, without singling her out for a premium increase, and without charging her any more cost sharing than is charged to the healthiest and most medically diligent insureds. Her coverage continues until she voluntarily changes insurance companies and/or employers or becomes eligible for Medicare. If she’s covered under group insurance she may not even pay any premium. Her insurance continues unabated, even though the disease was caused by neglecting her body and she maintains her poor lifestyle even after the disease becomes known.

This just wouldn’t happen in auto insurance. This scenario is the auto insurance equivalent of guaranteed access to low-priced auto insurance that takes care of every possible repair, including damage already done, until the day the car falls apart so completely it’s unsalvageable (death) or reaches 200,000 miles (Medicare), regardless of whether she even changes the oil (takes care of herself) in the interim.

As a society, we don’t expect this in private-market auto insurance, but we expect it in private-market health insurance. Furthermore, there’s a chorus of national and state interests, which continuously pushes us further away from the auto insurance principles.

The current private health insurance market isn’t sustainable. Prices have been consistently increasing faster than inflation for decades. Each year, insureds use more health care than ever before and more people have no insurance at all. Most actuaries and other people in the private health insurance market don’t want national health insurance with its bureaucracy and one-size-fits-all benefits. Yet, we’re trying to sustain a private insurance system, which violates the very principles we know are necessary for private insurance markets.

Yes, health insurance involves the sacredness of human life and is therefore different from auto insurance. But if we’re to sustain a private-market solution to health insurance, actuaries need to explain to the larger society, in terms that society understands, the rationale for the following principles:

* As sacred as health care is, it’s still an economic transaction that has to be balanced by individuals and societies, against other economic choices. It can’t be unlimited. Sometimes it will be secondary to other choices. On a given day, for example, the mother in our scenario may value her car more than her health.

* Insurance premiums should be paid by the individual and tied to controllable risk factors. This will provide the best incentive for the control of risk factors.

* Although it’s hard to draw the line between abuse, neglect and ignorance, self-abuse shouldn’t be insured and we need to draw that line somewhere.

* The private market can’t provide unlimited, self-directed health insurance.

* Routine care and ongoing treatments of chronic conditions can be pre-funded, can even be subsidized, but they don’t constitute ‘insurable events.’

* Insurance can’t be expected to keep every human body in pristine condition. No amount of health care will prevent everyone’s ultimate death.

* Comprehensive, unlimited, non-subsidized private-market coverage isn’t possible for people with severely impaired health.

* The private health market can provide limited non-subsidized health insurance, such as protection from accidents, to even health-impaired individuals.

* Individuals who can afford to do so and who take good care of themselves should be able to ‘buy up’ to better coverage. People have the option of buying up for everything else in life.

Discussion of these principles is lacking from most of the current health insurance debate. If society can intuitively understand how similar principles apply to health insurance, then they should be able understand the principles in the health insurance context. We need to initiate the debate.

This commentary is solely the opinion of its author. It does not express the official policy of the American Academy of Actuaries; nor does it necessarily reflect the opinions of the Academy’s individual officers, members, or staff

Spring is in the air, an ideal time of the year to have family visit theUSAandCanada. This is especially true for Indians who are used to warmer weather and find American winters challenging. Having family visit is really exciting, and there is always plenty to plan and organize to make the visit memorable. Amidst all the excitement, it is easy to overlook visitor medical insurance, however that can be an expensive mistake.

Why Visitor medical insurance ?

Visitors, in particular parents and elder relatives take some time adjusting to the new environs. Beyond the initial jet lag, there are changes in weather, water, food and clothing to consider. While you can take precautions for minor ailments such as ensuring that you have the required off the counter medication handy for coughs and fever, or remind them to get a spare pair of glasses, it is hard to prepare for more serious medical ailments. While expecting visitors toAmerica, you should consider unplanned but definitely possible catastrophic medical situations, such as an accident, or somebody falling down and having to undergo surgery. Any situation which results in visiting an American hospital can be a serious drain on one’s finances, even during good financial conditions. A few hours in the hospital can result in thousands of dollars of medical expenses, and it is not at all an exaggeration that an overnight stay in the hospital can result in tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. In this context, it is always prudent to purchase visitors medical insurance.

Why Purchase insurance online ?

Visitors insurance can be confusing for anyone outside the insurance industry. There are several different insurance providers, different types of insurance plans, fixed benefits versus comprehensive plans, new concepts like deductibles, PPO network, co-insurance and so on. Some resourceful websites have developed tools to help customers understand insurance concepts easily and to be able to compare and then purchase visitors insurance for travelers to America. Detailed information about visitors insurance is usually available with answers to frequent questions is also available on the web.

The purchase process.

You will need basic information about the traveler such as the applicants date of birth, passport number, the travel dates and a beneficiary for the policy. On selecting an appropriate visitor insurance plan, you can purchase the plan online in a matter of minutes using a credit card. On completing the credit card transaction, the customer will get an email which has all the relevant information about the insurance plan. Unless the customer chooses the online fulfillment option, you will also get the policy document by regular mail in 4-5 business days.

Using the insurance policy.

After completing the online purchase of visitor insurance, you will get the insurance policy details, which will have a policy number as well as the relevant toll free numbers to contact in the event of having to get medical treatment. If time permits, it is recommended that you call the insurance company toll free number, and they will guide you forward on getting appropriate treatment. If the insurance plan has a PPO network, it is recommended that you use the doctor or hospital which is part of the network. Using the PPO network will facilitate cashless settlement (direct billing with the hospital), remove any penalty for being outside network and in some instances even take care of any co-insurance that you might have to pay. If you are unable to call the insurance toll free number prior to visiting a hospital (in the event of any emergency), you should call the insurance company as soon as you can, and inform them of the medical treatment that the visitor is getting. You should then submit the insurance claims form.

Home and Life Insurance Quotes in Maine

Let’s face it, these days it is extremely important to get your house or life insured by an insurance agent. But the most important question, do you know where to find an insurance agent who can provide you with an insurance quote on your home?

It is always recommended that you use a life or homeowners insurance company and seek tips and advice from a reputable and reliable insurance agent. Only qualified and professional insurance agents can offer the correct insurance quote and coverages.

Below are some imperative details that need to be considered with an agent when asking for a quote on homeowners insurance:

1. Be certain to Make sure you have enough insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding your house at current construction costs. To figure out the amount of coverage needed, take the total square footage of the house and multiply by current local rebuilding costs per square foot. For example: A 2000 square foot home with local rebuilding costs of $150 per square foot (2000 * 150) comes to $300,000 of dwelling coverage.

2. Make sure that your personal possessions are properly covered. We recommend that personal possessions are insured at replacement cost NOT actual cash value.

3. Most homeowners policies will also provide coverage for loss of use. This means that if you need to live somewhere else while the house is being restored the insurance company will pay for this expense.

4. Liability coverage is also included on most homeowners policies. This is very important. The minimum on most policies is $100,000. We recommend at least $300,000.

5. In addition to the coverage’s mentioned, there are many other coverage’s to consider depending on the type of house, the contents in the house and any other structures located on the property. We recommend a review of your coverages be handled by a local insurance agent.

Below are some imperative details that need to be considered with an agent when asking for a quote on life insurance:

There are several different kinds of life insurance, but they mainly fall into two categories – term insurance and permanent insurance.

Term insurance is for temporary needs. The protection is for a specific length of time and only pays a benefit if the insured dies during the term. This type of coverage can make sense if you are covering a mortgage or a business loan.

Permanent insurance provides lifelong protection. Because it is designed to last a lifetime, permanent life insurance accumulates cash value and is priced for you to keep over a long period of time.

We can not say which type of life insurance is right for you, because the kind of coverage that is right for you depends on your unique circumstances and financial goals.

When you obtain the answers you are now in a better position to get a correct life or homeowners insurance quote.

The Internet Car Guy asked:


Saving money on car insurance requires a combination of techniques that improve your insurability, decrease the rate of insurance for your vehicles, and provide you with a unique advantage when it comes to purchasing car insurance.

This article will outline seven techniques that will ensure that you receive the lowest possible car insurance rates.

1 – Choosing the Best Insurer

Cost is certainly one factor when considering car insurance, but your insurer selection should be weighted more heavily on reliability. You could easily call a number of insurance companies, ask for quotes, and simply select the lowest bidder. However, even if the lowest cost insurer saves you hundreds of dollars a year in premium payments, that savings does you no good if you find yourself in an accident, needing car repairs or medical attention, with an unreliable and unresponsive insurance company. A good company is crucial. It’s not just about car insurance best rates.

#2 – Customize Your Policy

Before you begin calling around, it’s important that you determine the level of insurance coverage you need. Not everyone’s insurance needs are the same. Some families own two or three very expensive vehicles, while other families own only older used cars. Some people are members of AAA, while others are not. The specific terms of a policy should be determined by your life situation and the value of the items being insured.

#3 – How to Become Highly Insurable

Whether you’ve already purchased car insurance, or you are getting ready to start looking, one of the best things you can do to obtain the lowest possible rates is to improve those things that car insurance companies look at when they calculate your insurance premium. There are several things you can do in the short term to improve your insurability standing, and there are also things you can do over the long term to improve it as well. This section will describe four major elements of this technique to save money on your car insurance.

#4 – Reduce Your Car’s Insurance Rate

Another extremely effective technique to obtain the lowest possible insurance rate is to improve those things about your car which car insurance companies value the most when they calculate your insurance premium. There are several things that you can do before buying a car that will dramatically decrease your insurance premium. If you’ve already bought a car, however, and are looking for ways to decrease your existing insurance costs, there are still methods you can use that will substantially cut your premium costs.

#5 – Gaming the System

In addition to all of the techniques already listed in this article, there are also additional ways that you can use the insurance industries rating rules and premium calculation system in ways that will reduce your costs. Again, use the industry’s rules to get car insurance best rates.

#6 – Constantly Update Your Policy

One of the most important things that you can do to keep your insurance premium at a minimum is to always remember to update your insurance provider of any changes in your life that can reduce your insurance costs. Forgetting to do this can be very costly.

#7 – Deciding on Liability Only

There comes a point in the life of a car when the decision needs to be made whether or not it is worthwhile to maintain collision and comprehensive insurance coverage.

Getting Rock Bottom Insurance Rates

If you carefully follow each of the sections outlined in this guide, you are guaranteed to receive the lowest possible insurance rates for anyone within your calculated risk bracket. No one should ever overpay for car insurance – especially given the fact that there are so many insurers in the industry competing for your business.

Most people overpay for car insurance out of sheer laziness. However the consumer that understands how car insurance works, and is clever enough to take advantage of all of its loopholes, will save significantly on their premium in the long run.

Before you step foot into another insurance office, or visit another insurance website, make sure to print this guide and follow it carefully in order to ensure that you get the best insurance deal possible. Remember, car insurance best rates are achievable.

Auto insurance is also known as vehicle, car or motor insurance. Auto insurance is purchased to get protection against loss. Cars, trucks, two wheelers and other vehicles can be insured under this insurance policy. They provide some or full amount of our loss that occurred during accident or any damage that come under rules of insurance. It is compulsory according to public policy that you need to have an auto insurance policy form any certified dealer if you own a car, auto or other vehicle. In some countries, you need drivers insurance too. In 1994, J. Jackson and R. Blackman showed that insured vehicles have fewer chances of accidents than other vehicles.

When any damaged is caused to your vehicle, you need to pay a fixed contribution under insurance policy. When you repair your vehicle, you need to pay bill to the garage. Then insurance company will pay you back by showing them bills under the policy conditions like if part damaged in accident is plastic then insurance company will pay you half amount and rest you have to pay. Sometimes repair cost increases more than the actual cost of the vehicle then that vehicle is declared as write off. In write off situation, insurance company will pay you maximum agreed amount mentioned in insurance policy.

You have to pay a fixed amount every month or in four month or in year to insurance provider. Insurance premium depends on dealer, your personal details, car details, your previous record of insurance claims etc. It is called as compulsory excess. If you pay a large amount of insurance premium then, insurance company reduces your insurance premium. This is called as voluntary excess amount.

Insurance premium amount is based on various factors. This premium amount can be as mentioned by government or can be regulated under government by third party insurance providers. If insurance company can regulate their insurance premium prices under the government rules, then they have great freedom to select their prices and customer has freedom to select a good insurance plan for vehicle. When insurance premium is under the framework of then government then insurance premium depend on various data and calculations. Those factors are like drivers age, gender, car details, car usage, coverage selection type etc. Mainly insurance policy is based on what type of car you have like high range or lower range in prices, their spare parts cost, type of insurance you wants. Your previous claims also matters in deciding insurance premium cost. If you want to choose a good and cheaper auto insurance plan then you can search over internet and contact with dealers.

Joe Deacon asked:


When you are seeking to get car insurance, you have several choices, even when it comes to getting personalized service. Two companies that are competitive with one another include Allstate Insurance and Nationwide Insurance. Of the two, Allstate has been around for a longer period of time and is considered to be the premium car insurance company in the United States.

There are two types of insurance that you can get for your car – premium insurance and secondary insurance. You have probably seen the ads for discount insurance for other companies that give you a lower rate. What many people do not realize is that the discount insurance also means that you do not get personalized service that you can get when you have Allstate or Nationwide Insurance.

Locating your Insurance Agent

You can get Allstate Insurance with an Allstate agent. To find an Allstate insurance agent in your area, you need only look in the phone book or go online. You can get a quote from him or her and then sign a policy if you like the quote. You can also get insurance for your home and even life insurance from these companies. Both Nationwide and Allstate have insurance agents that sell their products exclusively, but Allstate is a more popular company. You may have more luck in finding an Allstate agent than you do when looking for an agent that sells Nationwide Insurance.

The Premium Difference

When it comes to cost of premiums, you will pay more for Allstate Insurance than you will for Nationwide Insurance. Allstate also has accident forgiveness policies that will not raise your insurance if you get into one accident. This is something that is a bit different than other insurance carriers, most of which will raise your insurance premiums if you get into an accident or have tickets. Nationwide Insurance has attractive premium rates and will give you a good policy for your money, but does not have the number of offices and agents as Allstate.

Weighing the Pros & Cons between Nationwide and Allstate Insurance

When it comes to accidents and claims, you can expect to be very well represented by Allstate Insurance. Allstate has an in house counsel to defend lawsuits as well as pursue claims against other drivers. Nationwide uses an outside counsel for most of their litigation, as is the case with most insurance companies. You will talk to claims adjusters for both companies if you happen to get into an accident.

Allstate insurance company is an ideal insurance company if you have a good driving record and are looking for personalized service along with good insurance rates. Nationwide Insurance company is also a good insurance company, but does not have the same level of personalized service as Allstate, although they do have more attractive premium rates.
