I’m bringing home a puppy in two weeks. This breed (golden retriever) is prone to cancer and foreign body ingestion. We also live in an area with a lot of Lyme disease and I heard the vaccine doesn’t always work, so I want insurance that covers things the dog is vaccinated against (because we can do our best but Lyme could still get us). Anyone have any recommendations? I’m overwhelmed with all the options. I don’t care about paying the vet directly. We don’t mind a higher deductible- we really just truly want catastrophic coverage like cancer or surgery. Dental problems (not cleaning but actual problems) would be good too but it’s not 100 percent necessary. No matter what option I start to go with when I look it up there seems to be problems. I’m leaning to Embrace because they would cover Lyme. Trupanion seems like the rates go too high over time. Healthy Paws won’t do Lyme. Lemonade seems like people don’t trust it.

Hello! I was rear ended, and the other party was liable. I submitted my vehicle for repairs at the shop of my choice. The car has been in the shop for way longer than the estimate stated due to shortage of parts. (Estimate was approved for 20 days, and its been almost 5 months lol) Adjuster stated they wont be covering the rental because it was excessive. I know that some shops are not truthful, but I confirmed with Acura. The parts were genuinely on back order the entire time. I told the adjuster that its not my fault that Acura is backed up, and that I wouldnt be in this predicament if their insured hadnt hit my car. He insisted that they wouldnt reimburse me for the rental. Side note: Originally the adjuster estimated approx $9K in damages, and the shop was in the ball park of $21K in damages. When the supplement was issued, the allotted time to repair still stayed at 20 days, is that normal? My thought process is that if there was more damage, then it would take longer to repair lol. What do I do? If I seek legal assistance are the odds in my favor? Im in Illinois if that helps.PLEASE HELP

Well, I guess im late to finding out my coverage dropped from 90% to 50% i had been doing claims due to my dog having multiple TPLO surgeries and find out ny nost recent one only got covered 50%. Pretty annoyed. My dog is 8 and already is through most of the surgeries but does have a neurological issue. Im looking to get a new policy somewhere and would love recommendations.

Hello. In December 2024 I enrolled in health insurance with United Health care through my employer during open enrollment. Benefits were to begin 1/1/2025 and my premium was to be $54.44. I noticed on my recent paycheck that my premium had more than doubled. I never received notice of this premium increase and only realized it had happened because my paycheck was smaller. I called them and they said the increase was because they "recalculated my information and saw an adjustment was needed." I demanded they cancel my plan, as I had not agreed to this premium. They said I wasn't allowed to cancel until the next open enrollment period with my employer in December 2025. They said they would open an appeal on my behalf and created a ticket, but I’m doubtful it’s going to make a difference, they will likely just reiterate what they already said and not allow me any recourse. Are they allowed to do this? Do I have any options in this situation or do I just have to accept that they can charge me whatever they like throughout the course of the year? I was not aware rates could change mid-policy like this. I am 48 and healthy. I have a nearly $10,000 deductible, and don’t go to the doctor for anything outside of my yearly checkup because I cannot afford to pay for anything out of pocket. I’ve also stopped taking prescribed medication because I don’t want to pay for that out of pocket either, and I can get by without it. It’s crazy to me they’re allowed to do this. Apologies in advance if I have posted in the wrong place.

My car was totaled at the beginning of July, it was the other drivers fault and she has Fred loya. I have been completely out of a car for 3 weeks and I can’t get through to anyone. I don’t know what to do. The car isn’t worth a lot, it’s a 2005 Subaru Outback, but in my area (Colorado ) I should get at least $4,000 for it, they offered me $2,200 and after I sent a bunch of comparables over they’ve been ignoring me. I have 2 jobs and I go back to school next month, I need a car. Any advice on how to get them to pay attention to me? I’m pretty poor so getting a lawyer feels out of the question, but I’m also getting desperate. Thank you in advance

Hello all, I am here hoping to find some clarity as to what happened and if I did anything wrong. For context I am chronically ill and have ESRD (end stage renal disease), I am on dialysis 3 times a week, awaiting a kidney transplant. For the last 3 years I have had Medi-Cal and it was handled through California DPSS. This has been the case since I applied. Even when I went into kidney failure and went on dialysis, my medi-cal was still handled by DPSS. I even subsequently applied for Social Security Disability and still my Medi-cal was handled through DPSS. I was just hospitalized last month for a week, so I know that my insurance was definitely still active at that point. Well today, I called my PCP to make an appt and was told my insurance was no longer active. After HOURS of standing in line at the DPSS office, I find out that my medi-cal was transferred to Social Security at the end of March - Without giving me any notice: not even so much as a letter. I’m baffled… I now have to restart the process of picking out a medical group and all that stuff… how did this happen?? Why?? And did I do something wrong????

My Aetna plan will be removing Miebo from coverage in the new plan year effective 7/1/25. This drug is the only FDA approved drug proven to treat the evaporative component of dry eye disease. There recommending I switch to Restasis , which is a good drug, but only treats the production of tears and not evaporation. Since there is no generic and no FDA approved alternative , are there any legal actions I can consider, or the plan can just do whatever they want and I’ll need to find another company that will cover the plan. The drug is about $800 a month, and while I can make it work, I would prefer for it to be paid for. I could also attempt to back door the European Version EVOTEARS from Germany for $20 a bottle.

Firstly I appreciate any insight into this matter as it can be a minefield I know! I’m looking to insure myself (m34) and partners (f30) 4 vehicles, we reside on a non working farm in West Yorkshire but will soon be moving to a similar setup in north wales. Could anyone recommend a solid company to go with please? Also open to the possibility of becoming a Ltd company once we move as we will be running a small business from the farm if that helps the situation at all. we have dealt with aviva in the past and they have always been a struggle when it comes to claims. Thanks 🙏
