Hurricane Irene puts home insurance under the magnifying glass

The aftermath of Hurricane Irene brings wide-ranging implications, and damages to the home caused by hurricane-fueled storms – and the home insurance considerations that go along with it – are some of the most major concerns (other than the most serious of concerns) for homeowners across the U.S.

When it comes to natural disasters and home insurance, knowing the proverbial fine print of an individual insurance policy can be of the utmost importance.

Some homeowners in coastal states may opt to purchase separate hurricane insurance policies, but for those who don’t it’s important to understand the details of a given home insurance policy.

What is covered, what isn’t

According to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.), standard home insurance policies typically do offer protection against wind damage sustained by severe storms such as hurricanes. Standard

Medical Records Mined by Hospitals Looking for New Customers

Hospitals are digging through medical records in an effort to locate customers who can take advantage of some of their high-cost services. A new report found that medical facilities, which make less money through government-based coverage options, are searching for patients who carry private health insurance.

Patient Records Targeted to Sell High-Cost Services

Hospitals and other medical facilities are looking for new ways to sell prospective patients on their lucrative medical services. Since most patients arent just strolling into facilities looking for care, facilities are now digging through patient records then sending out postcards and other communications to gain their attention.

For instance, Provena St.

Study: Mild cognitive impairment prevalent among men

01/27/12

Recent research conducted at the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging shows that more than 6 percent of Americans age 70 to 89 develop mild cognitive impairment each year.

The research also found that the condition affects men and individuals who have a high school education more than women and individuals who have completed a college education or higher.

“While incidence rates for MCI have been reported previously, ours is one of the few studies designed specifically to measure the incidence of MCI and its subtypes using published criteria,” said Rosebud Roberts, lead author of the study.

Rick Santorum Really Hates the Affordable Care Act

It is no secret that there are many Republicans who dislike some parts of the Affordable Care Act. Typically, they point to controversial parts of the ACA, such as the individual mandate, when they talk about how they would like to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Rick Santorum has taken things one step farther. He really hates the entire ACA, (even the parts that many people like).

The Affordable Care Act includes something called an individual mandate. This law would require all Americans who don’t have already have health insurance in 2014 to purchase a health insurance plan. Those that choose not to will have to pay a fine. Those who are low-income will get financial assistance to help them pay for health insurance.

Netflix faces class action lawsuit from investors

Just a week or so after it launched in the UK and Ireland, the online content streaming service Netflix is reportedly facing a new class action lawsuit from a number of its investors.

A report in the Guardian claims that Netflix’s investors are suing because they believe the management of the company to have misled shareholders as to the health of the business, whilst at the same time cashing in $90 million of stock whilst the price was at a record high.

In the lawsuit, which was filed recently in the US state of California, it is alleged:

“Defendants’ statements about Netflix’s ability to secure content and maintain profit margins were crucial to investors’ evaluation of Netflix.

“Rather than fully disclose the devastating cost increases which were then threatening Netflix’s entire business, defendants talked about its ability to grow. Specifically,

Different Types of Rental Car Insurance

Ive written about car insurance for rental cars before, but it seems to be all over the headlines today so I thought I would revisit this topic.  Whether or not to add the car rental companys car insurance is one of the biggest stressors you will face at the car rental counter.  The best advice, according to Fox News Jonathan Weinberg, is to do your research before standing at that rental counter.  It is very possible that your personal car insurance policy or even the credit card with which you rented your car will cover you in the case of an accident.  Weinbergs article, Secrets to unraveling car rental insurance, offers some pointers.

The first thing you should do is check with your own car insurance company and see if the coverage you already pay for includes rental car insurance.  Keep in mind that you may have added expenses with your own company if you do actually need to use their car insurance.  Youll have to go through the claims process, pay your deductible, and your car insurance rates could increase.  Many credit card companies offer the perk of car insurance coverage for your rental cars.  This is another case where you really need to do your research up front and see what they cover.  Some exclude SUVs and vans, others only offer secondary coverage meaning that they only pay for what your primary coverage does not.  You may even be charged a deductible.

Its important to make sure that you have liability coverage as well, especially in case you get into a bad car accident with another vehicle.  Credit card car insurance does not cover liability in the United States.  Car insurance through your rental car company offers basic liability coverage, but you have to pay more for supplemental coverage which youd need in the case of a major accident.  Your personal car insurance policy will likely cover liability as long as that is part of your overall policy.  While you will not be getting cheap car insurance if you purchase through the rental car company, you can rest assured that you will be covered and wont have to worry about extra paperwork filing claims and paying for deductibles.  Weigh the benefits and see what coverage is best for you when renting a car.
