Never be afraid to ask for help

All the figures show the number of parents who don’t insure their children is rising. The reasons are all financial. No responsible parent wants to gamble with the health of their children. It’s not enough to refer to poverty as if only a small number are penalized and then move on. The reality is that rising medical costs are now making it difficult for even middle class families to pay for health insurance. Gordon and Mary are typical. They have two children. Gordon is self-employed as an electrical contractor. Work’s been pretty good with the boom in housing. Mary works as a legal secretary. “The medical insurancehealth insurance was the first thing we cut. That and selling the second car to pay off the credit cards.” She looked round their home with pride. “We tried to keep up appearances.” “When Doug, that’s our youngest got sick, we didn’t know what to do for the best. Mary wanted to go down to the Emergency Room at the first sign of trouble but, like I said, it wasn’t an emergency. Not at first.” “In the end, I asked at work. It was a real benefit to be working for an attorney who cared. I became an instant expert on the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. With two uninsured kids under 19, we qualified under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). We were able to get both kids covered and Doug got the treatment he needed before things got too serious for him.” At least Mary had someone to ask. No matter what your situation, you should never let pride get in the way of your responsibility to your children. There are plenty of people and agencies around to ask. Remember, if you don’t ask for help, you never get any.

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea!

When you sit behind the wheel of your off-roader, there’s so much metal around you. It’s easy to think nothing can ever go wrong. Who needs auto insurance? But then you meet someone like Jack and suddenly you aren’t as sure anymore. Jack was driving down from Eureka to Frisco. He smiled and talked for a while about his family’s love for nature. “We stopped a couple of times and mooched around. When the kids got hungry, we ate the food we’d bought along. He seemed calm talking about it now. Back then, it was different. The police came fairly quickly. A wreck on those unpaved roads is a real hazard. The tow truck had further to come. By then, Jack had contacted the auto insurance company so everything was on track for the rescue. He had a rental car policy but no local garage had cars to rent. “It took a few days for the wreck to be shipped down to the body shop in Frisco. Not a surprise given where we’d abandoned it. The insurance agent was great help and got the claims department going. I guess we got to hear all the deer jokes but it was all sorted out in the end. Next time though, we’ll stay on the 101.”

Out of work! Could it happen to you?

Hey, I know you don’t want doom and gloom but one of us has to ask the hard questions. So, with the housing market in free fall and price inflation taking off, jobs are less secure. Now is the time to spend a few minutes thinking about what you would do if the unthinkable happened to you. The headline. If you’ve been wise with your money, you’ll probably survive. Let’s start off with the most vital question. What’s going to happen to your group health plan? All this time, you’ve been sheltered from the hard world of personal health insurance . What are you entitled to receive? Leaving to one side the questions of your severance pay, unemployment compensation and whether your employer will pay for outplacement services to help you find your next job, look at health insurance coverage through COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985). If your spouse and children are covered under the plan, they have separate rights to claim COBRA coverage. You all have sixty days from the date coverage under the plan ends to elect for coverage under COBRA. You must make your first premium payment within forty-five days and thereafter at regular monthly intervals. You will lose coverage if you miss a payment. If there is a slight shortfall in the amount, i.e. $50 or 10% of the premium, your employer cannot terminate. Use this breathing space to find new employment, secure in the knowledge that your health insurance needs are covered. That is, assuming you have laid the money by like Aesop’s ant.

Car doctors? Get a second opinion!

Whenever you set up a system, it’s only as strong as the weakest link. Sometimes, the cause of the problem is inside the organization. Most days, when you’re driving on the freeway, you get to see the wreckage from traffic accidents. You pass by because it’s not your problem. Auto insurance companies pick up the pieces. At least, that’s what all the ads say. Out of interest, I tracked down one of the drivers to see how it really goes down. Sarah from Wisconsin was making her usual commute when she was rear-ended. She was lucky. It flipped her over but she was unhurt. Even the guys who came on the tow truck shook their heads and congratulated her on her escape without injury. “They dropped me off at an approved car rental agency. One telephone call to my auto insurance company and I was driving again.” She shook her head with a wry smile. “I never thought there were going to be problems. Roadside assistance had worked perfectly. I was in a rental car. The wreck had been cleared from the road. I was expecting a check for a replacement vehicle within days.” When you’ve got health problems, you look for a second opinion from a different physician if you don’t get the answer you want. The same holds true for auto insurance. Repair shops make money when they repair. You have a right to challenge the first shop’s assessment. Sarah got her check. It was a hassle but she struck to her guns and won out in the end.

Women are victimized

admin — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 09:58:07 +0000

According to the New York Times, there is a real difference in the premiums paid by men and women of the same age for the same health insurance terms. The differences can be many hundreds of dollars. Even in an economy that was booming, it would be difficult to justify this price discrimination. It’s not enough to talk in general terms about the rising costs of health insurance at a time of rising employment. Various proposals talk of offering tax credits or other assistance to help in buying or maintaining private cover. But this does nothing to address the historical injustice. But the evidence shows that most medical insurance policies exclude maternity care - in fact, maternity care is usually offered for a substantial increased premium. So what does it come down to? It seems women take more care of their health. No matter where you live, women are charged higher rates of premium. The rates vary from one state to the next with some companies demanding up to 50% more for the same cover. Because of the general problems affecting the economy, it becomes all the more important to shop around before picking a new medical insurance company or deciding to renew an existing policy. There are anti-discrimination laws to protect people in the workplace and other areas of their lives. The same should apply when everyone seeks medical insurance.

What’s red and hot and throbs with promise?

The boring answer to this age-old riddle is, of course, a red sports car with one of those mufflers that rattles windows at one hundred yards when you rev the engine. Now we’ve all heard those urban myths, the stories that people who drive red cars are more likely to get speeding tickets. “What do auto insurance agents think about people who buy these go-faster cars?”

The answer you’ll get from every traffic policeman with a radar gun in his or her hand, and every underwriter ready to set your rates, is that color is irrelevant. And, you’ll be pleased to know, there’s no evidence to prove either of them wrong. Accident statistics and court records don’t show any great risk of fender bending or offenses from those driving red vehicles of any shape or size. There’s a more simple cause and effect at work. Yet the myths persist. Some colors like blue are “cool” and “safe”, others like red are extravert, dynamic and sexy. Supposedly, people are attracted to buy the colors closest to their psychological type. Whether it’s true or not, the car insurance companies don’t factor color into their calculations. Check out the online questionnaire you have to fill in to get a quote. There’s no question about the color of your car and, unless the company asks you, there’s no way it would know. Make and model, yes. Color, no!

So what’s the basis of the car insurance company’s calculations? Well, all companies employ these math geeks called actuaries who find every last detail of accidents endlessly fascinating. They profile the drivers involved by age and gender. And they all exchange their data to produce national statistics that help them predict whether you’re a good risk or not in that car (regardless of color). So drive your car safely to avoid tickets and accidents, and keep your rate low.
