Insurance Quotations | Page 4

Our offense waited until the sixth inning to come alive, but at least it did and put some insurance runs on the board.

Our life, asset management and general insurance businesses all achieved better results, helped by the inclusion of acquisitions,

Our members understand that insurance is a tough issue across the nation, and the members are willing to make reasonable compromises, as long as they are fair. But we demand fairness.

Starting with our April 8 season-opening event, we will no longer be able to allow people to carry in any food or beverage items from the outside. This is due to regulatory changes outside our control in the insurance and food service industry. We will continue to offer passes out which will allow our guests to visit their vehicles during our racing program.

Staples no longer charges these shipping damage fees and hasn't done so since May 2002. The issue is solely about whether Staples must be registered to sell the shipping damage coverage as regulated by the state insurance code.

Some of these are small companies that don't have disaster insurance or disaster recovery plans.

Some of the larger-ticket items needed to be looked at by the insurance company.

That area between Miami and Palm Beach is a huge cluster of insurance values and exposure. A very slight increase in the winds can cause significant increase in losses. Right now we're slightly below the design wind speed. But a little faster, you hit values where you see more things start to fail.

That amount would likely bankrupt a fair number of smaller insurance companies operating in the state.

That $475 million of insurance is going to be eaten up quickly, ... The rest hopefully will be covered by FEMA.

My own view is that there will be some cost that will be simply too much to pay for the insurance of staying in this business.

NAMIC strongly supports the expansion of Section 831(b)(2). The modification of this section is very important to the communities that depend on small property/casualty insurance companies to provide them with affordable property insurance. Many small companies are approaching the current $1.2 million limit and both they and their customers will be adversely impacted if it is not raised. With the increased election level, tied to an annual adjustment in the cost-of-living, these insurance companies can continue to keep premiums low in rural areas where larger insurers either do not write coverage or charge higher premiums than consumers can afford.

NAMIC believes that exposures to mega-catastrophes present a tremendous challenge to the insurance industry and we are exploring several different avenues to address the problem.

Many folks, especially very healthy individuals, think they can give up health benefits for a brief period of time to save on expenses. What they don't realize is that any break in insurance can make it difficult, if not impossible, to resume health coverage.

Long-term care insurance is typically a difficult sell, whether in the government or private sector. I personally would rather pay for long-term care insurance and never need it, than find that I need it but don't have it.

Long term care insurance is more important than ever for consumers to consider, especially in light of the rising costs of care and impending changes to Medicaid that will make it harder to qualify for services under the program. Our efforts are designed to give people the information they need to plan more effectively.

Long-term-care insurance hasn't caught on for the simple reason that people aren't going to pay for something the government has been willing to give away.

Look at timber prices in the late '90s, at around $50. If you count the true damage of cutting down forests, the resultant flooding, insurance claims, and so on, then the timber price should have been $100.

Market confidence towards savings products seems to have returned. As a result, the life insurance sector is getting back on track after a couple of tough years.

Maryland has a fairly high accident rate as well as high insurance rates.

I think everybody in town lost their car. There was no insurance coverage for flood damage to cars and trucks,

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that a handful of insurance companies with a stranglehold on the market can raise rates.

It doesn't stop at Wal-Mart, it's either the right thing to do or it's not. If our country wants to say that health care insurance is a right of every individual in this country, then the government needs to have that debate.

It does not hold insurance companies accountable when they make medical decisions that harm people.

It didn't seem likely that states would take health insurance from a million people ... but that's what a number of states have done and are proposing to do -- and that's just the tip of the iceberg. They have to balance the budget somehow.

Join America taught English, an understanding of the U.S. Constitution, that the Bill of Rights is the ultimate insurance policy for a citizen, and that being a citizen is not an entitlement. And we also taught a bit of capitalism.

It is critical that we pass legislation to dramatically reform our health insurance system, and this reform should include a genuine public option, universal coverage, an end to insurance policy rescissions, and no restrictions against covering people with pre-existing conditions.

It is different in every state division, so I am not aware of what Louisiana and Mississippi regulations are. Hopefully they took the rolling deductible into consideration so we don't have another insurance incident like Andrew.

I think this is clearly the Fed saying 'we're willing to take out an insurance policy, we're not willing to risk recession',

Manny will start work at SBC in a month while receiving total support as far as having a special car, an apartment and insurance coverage,

We've told the insurance companies if there's been flood damage, you'd better be darn sure those cars don't end up back on the streets.

We need the ability to buy healthcare insurance across state lines that would increase competition and drive down cost.

The Alliance Program dramatically expands the Florida League of Cities' municipal insurance services capabilities. Fully insured or self-insured Florida public entities will now have the opportunity to experience custom designed insurance programs, exceptional claims management, integrated managed care and excellent customer service. By applying the Florida League of Cities' unique insight and experience in dealing with local government issues, The Alliance will provide the public entity with the ultimate risk management solution.

That's the thing about the uninsured it affects all of us. For the insured, it affects rates in the insurance market.

I was not very happy to have to change insurance plans. Instead of scrapping it, which I considered, I went to this plan,

I would imagine that members were getting weary. Six weeks is a very long time and a lot of people were financially stressed. We took the fight to the company but they were very firm about not changing the health insurance proposals.

I would like to see the site comply with the laws and make sure we are serving people who have a legal right to work and make sure properly that contractors are making sure they have licenses and insurance to protect anybody they hire.

I would like to know how it could take us 10 years, dozens of lives, numerous lawsuits, substantial consumer complaints, tire replacements overseas and repeated expressions of concern by an insurance company before any action was taken to initiate an investigation into the safety of a product being used by millions of American families. Simply put - the American people deserve better.

Most life insurance companies lack the critical mass to survive long term. The sector is highly fragmented and rife with overcapacity. We do not see how most of the smaller players can effectively compete and remain profitable in this environment.

Most insurance companies and agents regularly contact homeowners to ensure that their insurance policy limits keep up with the value of their home so that there will be sufficient funds to rebuild after a hurricane or other catastrophe.

Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage, but reasonably priced protection may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program. Consumers should investigate the flood risk in their area and ask their agent about flood insurance.

Mid-year budget amendments for health insurance and for state agencies are around $200,000, ... Which caused the budget to be off by $500,000.

Who is the program supposed to benefit, insurance companies or seniors? This is a big decision and seniors should have the time necessary to make the right decision for them.

We haven't received any formal application from banks to start their own insurance companies yet.

You'll be less likely to be in the middle of a food fight between your doctor and your insurance company.

You can buy a UFO policy, or travel insurance for a trip to the moon in 20 years. I'm constantly amazed by the things people insure.

Wills are trumped by legal titles to real estate or beneficiary designations on financial accounts, retirement plans and insurance policies.

Will it set a precedent that will see people fight these cases more regularly? Probably not. Is it going to affect insurance premiums? Probably not.

Willis is a big insurance brokerage and very profitable,

Winter sports insurance has become more refined as skiers are getting more adventurous. Some policies won't cover you for activities such as ice-skating or tobogganing ... some, particularly the no-frills cover can be very limited.

We feel he'll be a great fit for our team. He'll come in and be our No. 3 quarterback. It gives us some great insurance and a feeling that we can sleep at night that we have a bona fide NFL starter.

We feel he'll be a great fit for our team, ... He'll come in and be our No. 3 quarterback. It gives us some great insurance and a feeling that we can sleep at night that we have a bona fide NFL starter.

We provide insurance to over 1 million Americans. Clearly this bill is about politics -- bad politics.

We provide insurance for all sectors of the motor trade. However, to remain competitive, it is important that we combat fraud at all levels. I see Advances playing a crucial role in achieving this and I am encouraged by the results Advances is delivering for its existing customers.

We hope this proposal will become part of a larger effort to crack down on fraud in our unemployment insurance system.

We hope the word is getting out that insurance fraud will not be tolerated in Kentucky.

We had given up hope of ever getting the statue back and put in an insurance claim and next day it was returned.

We had a lot of initial work that had to be done and these people need to be paid. We pay fees and taxes to the city. We hope your insurance will pay for the damage. If not, we feel the city is responsible for the difference.

We had tried everything to get help, from the insurance companies to borrowing money, but when help came, it was by God's hands.

We have been working closely with the Central Social Insurance Medical Council, MHLW and some of the country's leading physicians to bring this valuable technology to patients in Japan. We are excited to be expanding this unique technology to another part of the world, where a significant number of patients can benefit.

We have tons of marinas that weren't insured. The problem is that marina insurance for storm surge is becoming non-existent. Either the insurance company won't offer it to you or it's so expensive that it's cost prohibitive.

We're really not rooting for a bear market. It's like fire insurance. You don't hope for a fire but you keep some insurance just in case. It's a good component for people with stock exposure to make the ride a little smoother.

We have two kinds of employment: one with decent pay and benefits - and another of part-time pay with full-time hours, at a wage that can't nearly support a healthy family. We have two kinds of healthcare: one where people have access and insurance - and another where basic care and life-saving treatments, come at a price beyond reach.

We just didn't get any help. When your fifth man is shooting 241, and you've got an 84, you really have no help and the other four guys have no insurance there.

Typically, they want to know how many people are residents in your household. That creates a different liability situation, and you need to inform your insurance company about that.

Today's vote is the first major step in 15 years toward more affordable health insurance options for small business and working families. The people who make up the bedrock of our economy - small, family owned businesses, have demanded change.

Travel insurance can't guarantee that your baggage will not be lost, but it can protect you against some of the resulting inconveniences and financial losses.

We need to stop viewing them as a choice. The patients feel guilty; the providers tell them things like they should just eat; parents are blamed; the insurance companies won't fund treatment because they think it's a choice. It's held us back for decades.

While we of course expect to incur losses resulting from insurance claims, it is far too early to estimate their magnitude,

We are not providing health insurance and we are not providing pension contribution. The net cost to the board will be a reduction over current management of probably about $12,000.

The problem isn't big employers providing health insurance. The problem is health insurance costs.

The problem of Americans lacking health insurance is worsening. Two years ago, there were 43 million uninsured. Now there are 46 million.

Well, my view is that the insurance companies have done awfully well and spent a lot of money on a lot of things that don't have anything to do with health care.

Title insurance is not required by law, but it's prudent to get it, to make sure you own a property. The state, however, sets the rates for title insurance.

Unfortunately, there's no norm with health insurance because it's changed so dramatically.

Unfortunately, the financial health of the PBGC is not improving. The money available to pay benefits is eventually going to run out unless Congress enacts comprehensive pension reform to get plans better funded and provide the insurance program with additional resources.

Unfortunately, the financial health of the PBGC is not improving, ... The money available to pay benefits is eventually going to run out unless Congress enacts comprehensive pension reform to get plans better funded and provide the insurance program with additional resources.

Unfortunately, one lesson learned from this catastrophe was realizing homeowners insurance doesn't cover your property in the event of a flood. You must have flood insurance. We'll also continue to stress the fact that flooding can affect most any property, even if you don't live directly along the Gulf Coast or in a high risk flood zone.

Those who had uninsured or underinsured losses as a result of the hurricane should register without delay. Even if you already repaired the damage, replaced the property, or received partial reimbursement from your insurance company, make the call before the March 11 date. Registering with FEMA will also determine what housing assistance you may qualify for.

We'll make sure there's enough in that account to purchase health insurance coverage.

You know, you're trying to please too many people. From the patient on the leg, to the family members, to the physician to the insurance carrier. And it's all got to be done tomorrow.

We are absolutely insistent that the mandate should only fall on those individuals for whom insurance is affordable.

We're not relying on what we think is cool or interesting or happening. We're holding up a mirror to our audience. That, to me, is our insurance policy.

When you're on a fixed retirement income, having to suddenly to pay for insurance takes a chunk.

We are greatly encouraged by the success and national attention Massachusetts has earned when it decided that health insurance is something no one should go without. We want to build on that progress and keep this important dialogue going in order to make covering the uninsured a national priority.

We still expect the insurance companies to resist as long as they can. But right now, this looks like a consumer triumph.

Those fundamental things can be the difference. When you have a pitcher throwing a good ball game, you have to back him up. We had a couple of chances to get some insurance runs.

We're essentially saying to every senior citizen, 'Here's a voucher. Go find yourself an insurance company.' Now, if you're 65 and in good health, no problem. If you're 89, like my mother, and you've got some problems, maybe you can't buy what you need,
