Can My Insurance Company Cancel My Policy if My Car Has a Recall? - Just this morning was another recall announced by Honda on their late model Odyssey minivans and Element vehicles. Recalls on cars is very common, probably more common than most realize. It can make one a little worried when their car is under a recall, but one thing you don't have to worry about is your insurance company canceling your car insurance policy because of a recall.
Knowing that your policy won't be canceled is good news but you are not off the hook yet. Make sure you get that recall fixed immediately because if your car is in an accident and the accident is related to a recalled part that you ignored to fix, then your insurance company can cancel your policy or raise your insurance rates. But even more important than that, get that recall fixed for your safety.

Your IRA Can Help You Pay for Your Health Insurance Premiums - Keeping up on health insurance premiums while unemployed can be difficult. Especially since a lot of people choose COBRA and the premiums for COBRA are usually much more expensive than what one was previously paying through their employer.
Under most circumstances if one wants to withdraw money from their IRA there is a hefty penalty but if the money is withdrawn from the IRA and used to pay for health insurance premiums there is no penalty. Remember though that you must be unemployed for at least 12 weeks to avoid the withdraw penalty.

Cutting Your Insurance by Signing a "Tobacco-free Affidavit" - We will see it more and more as we all realize we have a nation full of sick people who don't want to change their lifestyles but still want equal health care coverage. Have you ever taken the time to think about why smokers usually pay the same amount for their health insurance as you do?
It is a change that some insurance companies started years ago and it is catching on quickly. Yes, in individual health insurance one pays for their lifestyle choices but in group or employer health insurance everyone usually pays the same. But now, that is also changing.
According to www.newsandsentinel.com city employees can pay less for their health insurance if they don't smoke but will have to sign a "tobacco-free affidavit" and "the city will perform a review to make sure tobacco users are truthful in their claims."
How the "review" is handled will surely be a contested point among workers and staff alike. And I am sure both sides will argue about why one way or the other is not fair. Regardless, this is the future. Think about other insurance policies such as your homeowner and car insurance. Do we all pay the same amount for car insurance but get to drive any way we want?
