The “what if’s” and “why not” on international health insurance is always a plaguing issue. Times when the economy is weak, we prefer to hold on to our dollars, and wait for better days. The problem is, because the economy is weak, some businesses cut corners. Are you willing to risk your life, or that of a member of your family on the assumption that nothing bad will happen?

Regardless about the additional expense of travel insurance, the question that needs to be answered is not whether to book it or not. Rather, the issue is if traveling without international health insurance is going to be worth the stress and worry? Do you really want to be crossing borders and seas without this kind of protection? Just thin

Residents of Louisiana are paying more than anyone else in the United States for car insurance and for property insurance.  This information comes from the Bayoubuzz News article Louisiana Auto, Property Insurance Rates Highest in US by Christopher Tidmore.  State Farm car insurance quotes, and those from other insurance companies, are highest in Louisiana with an average driver paying $1,111 for their car insurance every six months.  Oddly enough, other states in the southern United States had some of the lowest car insurance rates.  North Carolinians pay an average of $495 which is the fifth lowest and Virginia drivers are the seventh lowest at $521.  Florida was the only southern state even close to Louisianas insurance costs, and their residents paid only $750 on average.

The InsWeb study looked at the median car insurance rates paid for a 6-month policy in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.  One reason that top car insurance companies charge more in Louisiana is Hurricane Katrina.  Comprehensive coverage, the most common in Louisiana, covers flood damage.  The amount of cars that were totaled because of the flood damage from Hurricane Katrina numbered in the thousands.  Another theory on why car insurance rates are so high in Louisiana relates to the high number of uninsured motorists in the state.  State officials and law enforcement officers arent proactive at ensuring Louisiana residents have car insurance, which results in higher rates for those who carry the coverage.  The risks are higher in Louisiana for those and other reasons.

The definition of a classic car can be slippery. Some people will not recognize a car as classic unless it was built in the 1920s and 1930s, before mass production. Some people would consider the New Volkswagen Beetle an instant classic in the cultural sense. There are some standard rules established by certain organizations like your local DMV, which will usually issue classic license plates to anyone driving a car that is more than 21 years old. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you should put classic plates on your 1990 Nissan Pathfinder, though.

Age Does Qualify – Eventually

For a car to be a true classic in the most common sense of the word, it needs to be old enough to take you back in time. Car
