List Of Usa Car Insurance Companieslist of usa car insurance companiesForum - Questions & AnswersI need a list of car insurance companies in the usa?Question: I need a list of all (or as many as possible) car insurance companies in the united states. I need the names and phone numbers and more info on them if possible. Thanks ! I am not looking for a quote for myself. I am making a website that provides resources for car salespeople and they always need phone numbers for auto insurance companies to have id cards faxed over because customers never have anything they need. I figure there may be a list somewhere online with them all on. Chill out LT you don't have to do anything you don't want to :)Answer: I don't think you can do that. See this http://gsx1.com/insuranceComparison.htmlthey are connected to some of the top names already, about 15 of them. These http://gsx1.com/Car-Insurance/100.php are different people connected to another lot. So nowadays you just get to fill in two quotes and about 30 insurers are compared. Less and less people are using phones to contact them too. Would you use a phone or save $175 a year? The choice is yours but more and more people are avoiding the useless middle man and just dealing with the insurer themselves..... via the sites. ![]() I have been wanting to address universal health care for the USA?Question: for some time now. I would question why it is somewhat reviled in many places of the USA. As a Canadian, I can advise you how to make it work in the USA and it would be in a fashion you would now have never considered or never have had any idea the fashion in which it could be accomplished. Here are the facts of the matter and comparisons to Canada's manner of paying for ours are very, very relevant. First - The USA has to raise taxes on the wealthy, but that has already been established, and may NOT be a factor after you have read my below summary of how you could easily pay for your universal plan, like we have. 'sin taxes' are prevalent in Canada, and they pay the lion's share of our healthcare and the rest is through the regular taxation system for all provinces and through the fed gv't. I refer to gas taxes, alcohol products of all kinds, and cigarettes. Your 'happy hrs', an American tradition, have prices that are scandalously low for libations that are on the list of drinks for the purpose. We winter in Naples, Fla - pubs and restaurants nearby - $2 for a 16-oz draft - $2 for a strong well drink - $3 for a decent glass of house wine - $1 for a smaller draft beer - $8 for an ice-bucket of 5 bottles of domestic beer, INCLUDING TAXES in every case above !! This is utter nonsense in the grand scheme of things. Americans would attend happy hour and STILL pay more, regardless. The am't would be HUGE country-wide !! Also the prices at liquor outlets and grocery stores for all of the above products is MUCH lower than in Canada, and we don't give it a thought. We're gonna buy the 'beers' and 'booze' and 'smokes' anyway, just like Americans would. What we pay to put it mildly is at least twice and in some cases 3 to 4 times as much for a given drink, and they are 'measured', so we get less alcohol to boot. This is not the problem, however. It is the absolutely far too low prices that you pay for things that you do not need if you do not libate or smoke or own a car. Our additional taxes on alcohol and cigarettes is astronomical, but people here STILL pay the piper for their fun !! Gas prices - In Toronto where I live, gas costs-American equivalent-$4.837 per gallon. At the station in Naples, Fla close to our rented condo, the price is now $3.759 per gallon. That's a difference of $1.078 per gallon we pay more !! Anyone who can afford a car will pay what it takes to gas-up the jalopy for a ride. IF you add up the MONTROUS amount of money that could be raised in additional 'sin taxes' in the USA, it would easily pay for your hypothetical universal health care system and then some. That would take out the 'snake oil salesmen' of health care insurance and no deductables apply and nobody goes broke paying for them !! Your doctors' visits would be more frequent and you would be healthier, because they are covered too, and you wouldn't have to think about the cost !! Seniors in my province and others get countless drugs for a minimal deductable which amounts to, get this - 61 cents per prescription unless it is not listed and a mere $100 deductable once a year !! If you are not covered by a company drug plan, for instace, savings can be had for decent premiums that pay up to 80% of the cost here in Canada. You add up the incredible benefit of such a plan and it would offset your happy hour additional costs, your additional gas costs and your smokes too. Now HOW IN THE WORLD hasn't the fed gov't and the states themselves figured this out - an exchange of higher taxes on goods not actually needed, for a healthcare system that saves the public a fortune ??!! I rest on that - please digest it and fire back your answers. Our system is clean of shysters completely and no one worries about how they are going to get well or if they can afford to get sick - no one - and THAT is an absolute, people, everywhere in Canada !! That's the beauty of our system - when a patient here cannot be taken care of fast enough or the technology is FAR better in the USA, the province they live in sends them to the USA for treatment and pays all the bills !! NOBODY 'dies' here waiting for care, unless they are too far gone and even then they DO get the care, but it is palliative care, and I've had at least on relative who went though that before passing away. Our system also pays for nursing home costs up to a certain amount and if the person cannot afford to pay the difference, it is FREE !! IF they can afford to pay it all, they have to pay, but that can be covered by a company plan such as I have in retirement that I have that costs me nothing. Otherwise if they can afford a nursing home, then they can and that is not the point of 'universal', because a nursing home is NOT health care, BUT the healthcare that is provided inside the nursing home IS covered by our plan !! The poster who mentioned that they would be @ 'ac' - IF that provincial politician could have been treated in his/her own province, the care was there. If he/she chose on their own to go to Texas, although the procedure is available here, then he/she would have to pay for it themselves. We have just as good a system as yours, but with 1/9th the population, sometimes it's necessary to send a patient outside of the country and to the USA, but darn it, you're a tough nut to crack - IT IS PAID FOR AND THE PATIENT PAYS ZIPPO !! That is the whole point and IF YOU were stuck in the states with the medical bills and the huge premiums you pay, and the greedy posters here who thing that more 'sin taxes' wouldn't save them eventually a fortune in heathcare costs, they must think they are bullet proof and are fools to think that such a thing cannot happen to them or a family member they are responsible for !!Answer: Thank you for trying so hard to educate the ignorant. ![]() Why did Rush Limbaugh accidentally endorse Obamacare?Question: source: http://trueslant.com/rickungar/2010/01/03/rush-limbaugh-accidentally-endorses-obamacare/ Text: When word came that Rush Limbaugh had been spirited off to the hospital with chest pains, I had to think for a moment about how I felt about his misfortune. It didn’t take long to realize that I was actually experiencing some concern for his health and hoped he would be all right. Whether it was the holiday season, a suspicion that he might have a relative somewhere who could actually care about him or just the simpatico experienced by one who has been there for another whom might have to share the unpleasant experience, I just couldn’t wish the guy ill. The warm and fuzzies didn’t last long. Released from the hospital with a clean bill of health, Rush instantly took the opportunity to take a shot at the effort to reform the health care system while effusively praising the Hawaiian hospital that had taken such good care of him. I don’t think there’s one thing wrong with the American health care system. I got no special treatment other than what anybody else that would have called 911 and had been brought in with the same kinds of symptoms. Via USA Today Now, I suspect old Rush has a pretty good health insurance policy, even if he does smoke cigars like a chimney and carry around about 100 extra pounds. So I wondered if Limbaugh could bring himself to give some thought as to how it might have gone for someone who was not so fortunate as to have quality health insurance coverage. Then, it hit me. Limbaugh was actually right. He was telling the truth when he said he did not receive special treatment because, since 1974 when mandated health insurance was instituted in Hawaii, pretty much everyone in Hawaii has the same health care access afforded to Rush. It turns out that Limbaugh has not been keeping up with his current events. If he was, he might have known he was lavishing praise on the most socialistic medical system in the United States. Not only is Hawaii the closest thing to a socialist health care system in the nation, it was actually the model for the Clinton Administration’s failed effort to institute universal health coverage back in the early 1990’s. Despite the fact that the state has the highest costs in the country for just about everything – due to the necessity of shipping everything to the islands from the mainland- Hawaiian comprehensive health insurance comes with some of the smallest co-pays and premium charges in the country. What’s more, the costs per Medicare beneficiary is the lowest in the United States. Oops. With everyone covered by primary care, emergency room visits tend to be for real emergencies, not the non-emergent care mainland ERs dispense for people without coverage. That reduces the costs of ERs and the costs of non-emergent medicine since patients can be handled less expensively and more effectively by their primary doctors. Hospitals have not overbuilt, acquiring expensive machines to compete with their neighbors for patients. Insurance companies have instituted screening and other measures to improve wellness among their covered populations. Via Fox4 TV Kansas City And yet, there was Limbaugh standing before the cameras extolling the virtues of his Hawaiian health care. No complaints about long waiting times to see a doctor. No complaints about slow emergency room care. No complaints about waiting lists to receive important tests. No complaints about aged or inadequate technology. Quite the contrary. It seems that, from Limbaugh’s point of view, the socialistic Hawaiian medical system, in practice now for over three decades, was as good as it gets. This is not something that we can afford to allow Limbaugh to forget just as we cannot allow Rush to get away with not speaking to this massive change of heart (no transplant required.) Let’s make the old blowhard cop to this. And should Limbaugh’s conversion to a socialistic system of medical care causes his clogged arteries to really explode – tough luck. Holidays are over and I’m willing to risk it. Besides, to have a heart attack you actually have to have a heart. I’d say that puts Rush in the decidedly low risk category. Please star if you found this interesting! Thank you :)Answer: Uh oh, Яush is supposed to be a big opponent of health care for everyone. ![]() |
