AC Interpreting

Archive for December, 2010

This has the easiest possible answer. All insurance policies are private contracts between you and the insurance company. In return for paying out the premium, the insurer pays you if you suffer an accident and incur a loss in one of the circumstances identified in the policy. But if you scratch the surface a little, there’s a more complicated answer lurking just underneath. When you insure your vehicle, you are one of a large group of individuals creating a central fund under the control of the insurer. The purpose of this fund is to pay out whenever someone is injured or suffers loss in a traffic accident. The notion of compensating victims means the fund is held as a financial and safety net. It catches people who would otherwise have to pay for their losses out of their own pockets. If you wanted to be political about it, the whole scheme is intended to be a redistribution of wealth from the drivers who can afford to pay and the victims who may not be able to pay. In some people’s books, this makes insurance one of these socialist inventions better suited to a communist country rather than the capitalist US.

So how should we view this “social contract”? The liability version is mandatory in all but three states. This is a form of government intervention, lifting the policy out of the usual private contract law, and placing it into a version of public law. To confirm this uneasy alliance between the state and the insurers, every state has an Insurance Commissioner heading a Department of Insurance. Their job is to police the market and protect you, the consumers. This is a balancing of interests. You as the consumers may be the drivers paying the premiums, or the victims collecting your compensation. Unfortunately, your interests oppose each other. Drivers want to pay as little as possible. Victims want the maximum compensation. To demonstrate the problem, let’s look at New Jersey where the law requires insurers to offer an equal amount of liability, and uninsured and underinsured coverage. The state legislates to direct how insurers shall run their business. GEICO is now the subject of a class action alleging it deceptively sold its policies, hiding the amount of UM/UIM coverage on offer.

This is a classic example of a state imposing a duty on auto insurance companies and then being prepared to act in a policing role when insurers are shown to have ignored the law. This actually makes it quite difficult for the ordinary citizen when it comes to buying a policy. When you come online and ask for those multiple car insurance quotes, do you know what your state’s law requires the insurers to include in their policies. If not, you could be innocently buying a policy that fails to give you the protections required by the law. In one sense, this is not so bad for the drivers because, if it turns out you have been deceived by your insurer, you can sue. But there are legal problems if people standing on a sidewalk are injured. They do not have an insurer to sue. That’s why it’s good to see individual states prepared to police their own laws.

One of the most important things you can do no matter what type of business you run is to get out and network. They say that the secret to success is working hard, working smart, never giving up, and making lots of friends. You cannot make lots of friends if you do not get out there and meet and greet new people.

Any business no matter what type you run, it makes sense to ask your customers, your very best customers to give you referrals of new potential clients. This is all part of networking and if you want to be successful you are going to have to do it.

Lately, with online social networking it appears that everyone is going online to try to network. The only problem with this is you never get to look the person you are talking too into the eyes and make that solid personal connection that you can in real life.

Many folks that own small businesses also set up a blog and they allow people to become their friends and join, or take their online newsletters or subscribe to their blog. All this online networking is all well and good but it is not the same, and it cannot yield the same results as a customer that actually walks and your store to buy something.

If you go to one of the large booksellers like Barnes & Noble or Borders Books you will note that the books that have to do with online social networking are quite vast in numbers. There are literally 10 to 20 new titles every single month it seems; all around the topic of social networking online. And there are lots of business books giving people advice on how to network better using the Internet.

Interestingly enough, the books on how to network in the real world, in service clubs, chambers of commerce, and working or volunteering in nonprofit endeavors only number in a few and those books aren’t selling very well. Nevertheless, if you want to succeed in business I would suggest that you also network in the real world because it will give you better results.

Now realize, I am not suggesting that online social networking for a small business or for a business professional cannot yield some results, but there’s no way it can compete with real-world results of real-world marketing and networking. Please consider all this.

The most annoying moment in university or academic is when the lecturers give us so many assignments to do during the holiday especially when it comes to Christmas and New Year holiday session. I don’t think I want to be the one who is stuck in my own room doing those assignments while other people are having fun with their Christmas and New Year party. That’s why I think I should finish those assignment before Christmas and New Year.

But to think that most of those assignments are essays research, I don’t think that I would be able to finish them all before Christmas and New Year. I have to do some research in order to get accurate report and then sum them up into a good writing report. Even if I spend all days before Christmas and New Year, I still don’t think I can catch up with them all.

In this kind of situation, I love to ask for help from somebody who could do research report writing very fast and accurate. But that’s also difficult considering that most people won’t want to waste their time helping somebody else to do their assignments and I think I will do the same if someone asks for help like that to me.

But StandoutEssay.com would help people like me who need help with their assignment. But of course this is a business so we need to pay. But at least, we can finish our assignments before Christmas and New Year so we could have fun.

As if things were not complicated enough, there has been a flood of corporate money into the political arena – thanks to the Supreme Court under Roberts in the case of Citizens United vs. FEC. It would not be unfair to describe the current situation as watching a waking giant suddenly walk through the campaign landscape. Anonymous donors are funding attack ads and the spread of highly misleading information about the current economic situation in general and the healthcare reforms in particular. As we head off to the polls, it’s therefore wise to draw breath and consider the extent of the dishonesty. Frankly, it’s no wonder the electorate are anxious and confused.

So let’s start with a few basics. First, the majority of the reforms are not due to come into force until 2014. This gives us plenty of time to work out the precise effects as implementation gradually eases us into full compliance. Second, the major fault with the reform is that it does nothing to control the prices of drugs or the treatments we receive. Imagine the debate in the White House. Potentially, we are picking a fight with the insurance industry, the healthcare industry, and the pharmaceutical manufacturers. This is a triple whammy. So, the President and his advisors decided to narrow the field to the insurance industry, hoping the premium rates and the cost of drugs, devices and treatments would take care of themselves. If the ads are attacking this cowardly failure, they are right. Without control over the prices, premiums are almost bound to rise.

Now a few words of reassurance. There’s nothing in the Act to force you to go through an official to get to a doctor. You will be able to choose your own doctor or insurance plan without anyone second-guessing you. There’s also no right for illegal immigrants to buy cover. They stay outside the system altogether. This will leave the current insurance companies to sell the policies whether directly or through the new exchanges. There’s no government takeover. Indeed, all the exchanges do is promote competition between the insurers. Premium rates should fall. This is supposed to be what capitalism is all about.

If insurers do increase their premiums, most states have the power to review the increases and decide whether they are justified. Hopefully, more states will use this power to protect you. The Justice Department has just filed suit against Blue Cross and Blue Shield for abusing its dominant position in Michigan to force up its competitors’ costs. Finally, there’s no threat to Medicare benefits. In fact, the benefits will either stay as they are or increase slowly. The only people who will see a change are the members of the Medicare Advantage plans who will lose some of their unjustified subsidies.

It’s true that this is a big change to the health insurance market. But we already see advantages. Insurers can no longer reject children on the basis of a pre-existing condition, young adults can stay on their parents policies until 26, insurers cannot cancel your policy if you fall sick, and so on. Health insurance has always been complicated and it remains so now. But there’s no need to panic. No matter what the attack ads say, the changes should end up favoring you.
