NAIC Health Insurance Tips – With Heart Monitor Giveaway
Health insurance is something we all ideally should have. Getting seriously ill is stressful enough, emotionally and financially, without having to add on the worries of how to pay for medical care. Had I not had health insurance earlier this year when I underwent major surgery we’d be looking at a lifetime of debt. Now [...]
Up Up And Away
Have your insurance rates changed drastically recently? We got a little surprise at work this past week. We received a packet of paperwork about our health insurance on Thursday. I thought the plan was being changed again. Well, not only is the plan being changed, so are our rates. The employee price is increasing across [...]

I’d like these surprises more often
I have to pay our car insurance tonight or tomorrow. Now while I don’t look forward to it because it’s a big chunk of money that I have to lay out, I’m not minding it as much this month. Our policy recently renewed and I got a really nice little surprise. We make one down [...]
The few, the proud, the stolen
Late last week I heard a report on the local news that a laptop belonging to the health insurance provider Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield had been stolen. On it was the personal information of 300,000 or more of its subscribers. As it turns out, I am one of the 300,000. Now I have lots [...]
