Should I take COBRA or get individual health insurance?
Should I take COBRA or get individual health insurance?
I am 60 yrs old and have high blood pressure. My spouse is 62 and smokes. Under COBRA, we would pay $836 a month for medical and dental. That coverage started in February but I have until May to decide if I want COBRA or not. At this point, if I choose COBRA, I have to pay for the months of February and March which have already passed. Its a federal law which makes no sense. But anyway, thats $1672 out the window. Am I better off using my money to get individual health insurance? My concern is that I dont know how having high blood pressure and my spouse being a smoker will affect things. Also, I recently had some dental work done and told them they may have to file a claim through COBRA if I do get it. The billing lady told me that they have problems with billing to COBRA because its taking COBRA 60 to 90 days to pay a claim which will incur interest for the patient. Has anyone experienced this? I'm just so confused about all this. I'd appreciate any advice.

""I am a married student, how can I afford pregnancy insurance?""
I am a 22 yr old married college student. I have been married to my wife for 2 years. We don't plan on having any kids until after we both graduate from school, but there is a problem with this: accidents happen. I've looked all over the internet and we cannot afford a regular insurance plan, (especially one that includes pregnancy coverage). My wife and I aren't very sick-prone people, and we tend to do the chicken-soup/home remedy thing, so all we really need is an affordable emergencies"""" health plan""

IPhone 5 theft insurance?
I recently purchased an off contract iPhone 5 and love it. But I'm afraid that it might get stolen or misplaced by me so I've been looking through various insurances that cover theft. And this is the one I found https://www.ensquared.ca/iphone_catalog But I'm not quite sure how it works. What I get from this is that, once I purchase this insurance for a one time fee of $129.99 CAD, and my iPhone gets stolen, they will replace it for a claim deductible of $179.99 CAD? One last question, I bought my phone in the USA, so will this cover it? Thanks in advance for your help.""

Which is the better insurance policy?
I just signed up for insurance thru work, I really have no clue on this stuff. I really only knew what I was paying for co pays on different things. I can change it if need be. But I have signed up for a policy that is a $4000 deductible per year. My understanding is that you have to pay that much in care before they cover anything. The other option was a $1500 per year. Now I can't find the information for the policy I had in the past because I was with this company 3 years ago. I didn't save that information or something. But I'm asking because my wife is looking to have surgery and we of course would want to pay as little out of pocket before insurance covers it. Did I make the better choice with the higher deductible or not? It's around $145/week with the choice I made. I want to say it was a little more per week for the lower deductible. How does this work exactly? You pay more each week to have to pay less before insurance covers things?""

Can I decrease my home insurance coverage to save money?
I bought my home for 95K five years ago in Texas. I just finished paying off the mortgage so now I am free to change my home insurance coverage.

I can easily find another home like the one I have now for around 90k so is there any reason to keep my current policy? They charge over a thousand dollars annually and I am just looking for ways to cut costs.

All i was looking for was a simple life insurance i can afford, and they added in a whole bunch of accessories to go along with it. anyways, they keep coming back for many tests. which would have been hell of a lot convenient if they did these tests all in one place in one time. rather than having to do 4 or 5 tests over the past 4 months. it drives me crazy now that they are always phoning, needing this and that...now im starting to consider if i even want my life insurance with them also, is it even necessary to have life insurance along with critical illness and disability? i am just a studetn on a budget with two young boys at home. whats your take?""
