Global property rates continue to firm

Global property insurance rates continued to firm in the first quarter of 2012, according to Marsh.

Despite the absence of major natural catastrophes during the first three months of the year, rates rose for both catastrophe-exposed and non-catastrophe exposed risks in most geographies.

The leading driver of change is the catastrophe losses experienced by insurers in 2011, according to Marsh, and the effects of these losses are also being felt in key risk areas, such as contingent business interruption, where insurers globally are taking a more cautious approach and asking for detailed information before underwriting the risk.

Health Care Reform – To Be or Not To Be? The Justices Will Decide

Months of anticipation ended this week when the U.S. Supreme Court finally heard arguments in support of and opposition to the Affordable Care Act, the nation’s new health care law. The three days of hearings didn’t disappoint in terms of theatre. The justices mixed serious questions with humor while the U.S. Solicitor General representing the administration’s case for health care reform, unwittingly mixed humor with legalese. Outside the venerable Supreme Court building rallies were held consisting of song, shouting, verbal abuse, and a GOP presidential candidate. All in all, a memorable week.

However, the reality of what transpired in the nation’s supreme courtroom is not so comedic. The fou

The actual cost of owning a cat

Cats can make wonderful pets for many people and, in fact, pet cats in the US now outnumber pet dogs, making cats the most popular pets, which is likely why cat insurance has become so popular. While the cost of owning a cat is much less than that of a dog, there is still significant cost and it is most likely much more than the average pet owner thinks.

There is truly no such thing as a “free” kitten. Being a responsible owner of a cat carries with it certain financial obligations. Cost does matter and directly influences both the type and the quality of care that a cat will receive. Eac

ABI petitions for business in compensation culture

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) is calling for action to free businesses from the fear of the UK’s compensation culture and overzealous interpretations of health and safety rules.

ABI data reveals that for every £1 paid out to settle slip and trip style liability claims, an additional 93p is paid out in legal fees.

According to the Association, this together with a legal system that encourages people to make exaggerated and fraudulent claims, means UK businesses are left shouldering high and disproportionate legal costs, which they are paying for through their employers’ and public liability insurance premiums.

Supreme Court Votes on Healthcare Today as 1 Vote May Be The Decider

The nine Supreme Court justices, absent clerks, staff, and anyone else, gathers in their chamber today and casts votes in favor of or in opposition to the Affordable Care Act. After three days of arguments and with those proceedings fresh in their minds, the justices will vote and then begin the laborious process of putting their thinking to paper in the form of written opinions. The question is: how will they vote? To listen to the pundits assess the week’s events in Washington, D.C., several interesting veins of thought has emerged.

It is expected that conservative Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, Jr., are sure to strike against the health care reform law while liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are locked in to support the law as constitutional. T

A simple tool can make you a better dog owner

By Chryssa Rich For Pets Best Insurance

Pet owner or not, you’ve likely tracked dog poop into your car, your office and probably even your home.

Another issue reported for electronic medical records

Electronic medical records (EMRs) offer numerous advantages over traditional paper medical records. Among them, is the ready availability of one’s medical history at just about any location on the globe. This advantage is negated somewhat by the possibility that personal information could fall in the wrong hands. Now, another potential down-side of EMRs has been reported.

Proponents of EMRs tout the concept that streamlined EMRs can help trim soaring healthcare costs; however, a new report found that EMRs could actually increase costs. Their findings were published in the March 2012 edition of the journal Health Affairs. O
