No one knows for sure how long he is going to live in these uncertain times with mishaps, natural calamities, and unexpected ailments surfacing all of a sudden. It makes sense to protect the financial interests of your dear ones should something happen to you. If you face an untimely death without the umbrella of life insurance, you cannot imagine the plight of your spouse and kids as they will be forced to fen for their own without any financial support. Like other investments in life, life insurance plays a big role for your family members after you are gone.

The days of calling in your friend working as an agent for a life insurance company to sign a cheque and get the policy are over. Read more…

Along with the hot wheels, cool trim, leather interior and killer sound system, your sports car came with another line item add-on that wasn’t part of the MSRP: sports car automobile insurance. Insuring your shiny fast ride can add thousands of dollars to cost of ownership over the life of the car…unless you’re a savvy shopper. Here’s what you need to know to help you find cheap sports car insurance (or at least reasonably priced). For starters, different insurance companies have different definitions of what is and isn’t a sports car. This is typically based on a VIN (vehicle identification number) system published by the Insurance Services Office or the company’s own ranking system. Either syst

Supreme Court Justices’ Recusal Questions Continue To Grab Headlines

Jackson Hook — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:11:45 +0000

While the Wall Street Journal takes a look at how the individual mandate could be viewed by specific justices, news services report on the chief justice’s view of the health care recusal issue.

The Wall Street Journal: A Brief Look Ahead – Health Care On Trial; How The Individual Mandate Might Play At The High Court Three of four federal appeals courts have rejected challenges, but the high-court outcome is uncertain. Based on prior writings, the four liberal justices seem likely to uphold the act, while only Justice Clarence Thomas appears sure to vote against it. A

Changing the Priority of Social Media Tools

Lucy Luker — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 06:18:13 +0000

I received a tweet from @stnickmedia with a link to the article titled “Executives Fail to Focus on Social Media Marketing Strategy” http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1008503. Some of the comments about the article took issue with the fact that leaders “still weren’t getting it”. I have a different opinion. I can completely understand why social media marketing strategies are not a current priority with many at the senior level. I don’t believe that social media efforts have “earned” their attention yet, but, I think they will as the use of social information moves from marketing into operations and begins to increase revenue and decrease costs.

Viewpoints: Is Berwick A Scapegoat?; Rep. Smith On Kagan; Daschle On Health IT

Jackson Hook — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:37:19 +0000

Boston Globe: Senate GOP Scapegoats Another Local Academic Don Berwick, the prominent pediatrician and Harvard School of Public Health professor who headed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has officially stepped down, another victim of Washington’s hyper-partisan politics. … Berwick’s transgression? In the past, he had spoken favorably of Britain’s National Health Service. What’s more, he had had the temerity to acknowledge the obvious: Financial resources to pay for health care are limited, and therefore it makes sense to compare the effectiveness of various treatments and decide which are worth funding and which are not (12/2).

The Washington Post: The White House Needs To Come Clean On Elena Kagan And The Affordable Care Act If the Supreme Court upholds the individual mandate, it will set a precedent for future Congresses and expand the federal government’s reach into our everyday lives. …

The Washington Post: Democrats Lobby Against Any Broader Exceptions To Contraceptive Coverage Democratic lawmakers, fearful that President Obama is on the verge of significantly diluting a proposed regulation that would give millions of women access to birth control without out-of-pocket insurance charges, are furiously lobbying the White House to hold the line (Aizenman, 11/22).

A new and innovative way to issue life insurance? Is that possible?

Lucy Luker — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 07:13:25 +0000

Hartford Life just introduced Issue First, a new way to provide immediate life insurance protection. Get this . . . the policy is issued before underwriting. The upper limit on face value and age is $2 million and 66, respectively, so they are not just targeting small policies or young insurers.
