Top ten things to know about Insurance
1. Insurance costs a lot but having none costs more. There are sensible ways to save money on insurance, but skipping coverage isn't one of them. Medical bills from even a minor car accident can deplete your savings -- a major illness can push you into bankruptcy. 2. If your employer offers insurance, grab it. Group coverage, particularly when it's employer-subsidized, is almost always a better deal than anything you can get on your own, even if you're young and healthy. If you're NOT young and healthy, it's definitely a better deal. 3. Comparing plans is tough but necessary. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as standard coverage. Benefits and costs vary widely from plan to plan. If you have choices, you'll have to examine each one closely to find the best deal. 4. The lowest premium isn't always the cheapest plan. What your insurance covers is just as important as, and sometimes more important than, what you pay up front. Ultimately, the cheapest plan is the one with the best price for the benefits you're most likely to use. 5. Even good coverage can have big loopholes. You can count on your health insurance to cover you for a hospital stay. Most policies cover doctor visits, but benefits for mental health, prescription drugs and dental care are strictly optional. 6. You'll pay more for freedom. Plans with the most comprehensive coverage at the lowest out-of-pocket cost require you to use a specified network of hospitals, doctors, labs, and other providers. The more flexibility you demand, the more you'll pay, in either premiums or co-payments. 7. You can check out networks before signing up.
A growing number of public and private sources compile information on the track records of individual doctors, hospitals, and health plans. 8. You can keep your insurance if you lose your job.
State and federal regulations protect you from losing your health coverage just because you lose your job. Unfortunately, they offer little protection from high premium costs.
9. Working couples have more to think about. If you and your spouse both get health insurance at work, you must sort out whether it makes more sense to have two policies or for one of you to cover the other. If you have kids, you need to decide who's going to cover them. 10. Tax breaks can help. Ordinarily medical expenses, including insurance premiums, are not tax deductible until they exceed 7.5% of your income. However, if you're self-employed or your employer offers a flexible spending account, you can get a tax break without meeting the threshold. Bonifast says:
Payment Protection Insurance is a scam Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) is a classic case of finance companies a) disgracefully profiteering from their customers and b) relying on a lack of financial education by their customers. This is not to belittle anyone reading this who has taken out PPI in the past. Rather it’s to highlight that if you want to best deals in the personal finance world alongside the most competitive prices, you’ve got to do some homework. On the face of it PPI is not a bad idea. If you take out a loan with PPI attached then if you’re made redundant or fall ill and therefore are unable to work, the loan repayments are insured. But never discount the greed at work in corporate Britain. PPI is therefore an incredibly expensive form of insurance and for that reason it’s just worth it for most people. Couple that with the fact that like any insurance cover there are so many ifs and buts in the small print. Many people who've taken out PPI have found out that they weren’t covered because of the nature of their job, self-employed, contract workers, students or people with known medical conditions etc. Gina says:

Unwanted and unneeded life insurance You might own an unwanted and unneeded life insurance policy that is eligible to be sold for cash and not even know it!
Rising premiums or changed family circumstances can create a situation where you've decided that a life insurance policy is no longer wanted or needed. For example, many people with unwanted cash value insurance mistakenly believe that the policy value is worth no more than the actual cash value. Even worse, many people mistakenly believe that their unwanted term life insurance can only expire worthless or be lapsed for zero value. Investor groups and financial Institutions are now paying cash to buy unwanted life insurance policies. Whole life, universal life, term life, joint-life, last-to-die and key-man life may qualify. Jean P. says:
multi-policy discount A lot of companies offer discounts to drivers who also have other kinds of insurance with them such as their homes. This is called a multi-policy discount. Other discounts available might be - multiple vehicles, anti-theft devices, retirees, drivers education, abstainers from alcohol, age, and distance to university/colleges for students. To name a few. Check with your broker to all that are available~=- it will save you money! Maria says:
model can effect the cost Make sure the rating and use of your vehicle is correct. Many manufacturers offer similar model names for vehicles and insurance costs can vary. Even 2 or 4 doors or the wrong model can effect the cost . Maria says:

Avril P. says:
Take full advantage of low mileage Take full advantage of low mileage or distance discount rating—Some insurance companies give discounts to people who drive less than a pre-determined number of miles each year or drive certain distances to and from their place to work.
Regala says:
Buy a lower profile vehicle Buy a "lower profile" vehicle. Part of what determines the coat of insurance is the kind of vehicle you drive. Some are favorites for thieves. Some are more expensive to repair. Generally these vehicles will cost more to insure. It pays to do your research before you buy.
