26, tried to get heath care for the first time in January. I thought I was going through healthcare.gov. Guess I called a wack number. “Premier Health Solutions/Health care member services.” Told me 383$ for first 2 months as lump payments then $10 rest of the year. That was a straight up lie. It’s 383$ every month and I will be broke if I keep getting charged. I went through the chat feature to begin cancelation and got an email saying the process has started and I’ll get confirmation but I haven’t yet. I called again about it and they said I’ll get a call from an agent to confirm cancellation. I can’t afford to make another payment and I’m terrified.

Not sure this belongs here because it's not car/home etc. but I had a weird experience with travel insurance on my credit card. My wife and I were headed for a wedding then she got covid a few days ahead, so I put in a claim for the nonrefundable hotel. When nothing happened with the claim over a couple weeks I called their customer service number and was told that the claim required a signed doctor's note saying that we were unable to travel. We \*weren't\* unable to travel so I just gave up. Now, sometime later, I get a notice that they're paying the claim. The only explanation I can think of, since what they said on the phone seems to match the published benefits, is that the claim was so small that they decided to pay anyway, perhaps to help metrics of some sort. Is this a thing? I really don't see in retrospect why they would pay if they didn't absolutely have to, although I will admit that my feelings about the credit card (on which we spend a lot of money) were souring. Perhaps it was just a courtesy? Anyone know how this works in practice? I'm trying to figure out to what extent I should really trust this credit card.

yesterday morning i got into a fender bender. i was waiting at a red light on a 3 lane road. left lane is a left turn/u-turn lane. middle lane (the one i’m in) is a straight only lane. right lane is a right turn only lane. the light turns green (i’m first in line at this light), and i slowly start accelerating (i have become a very defensive driver because the city i live is filled with actual idiot drivers, so i never take off at an intersection for fear of someone running the red and t-boning me) to cross the intersection. all of a sudden, a car is in front of me and hits the front right of my car with the front left/side of their car. she was in the right lane and made a u turn from there (or was trying to). i feel like it’s pretty straight forward that moving to the left in capacity from a right turn only lane puts her at fault, but i don’t know how this all works. i recently turned 24 so my insurance is still a bit high, and im waiting until 25 to get comprehensive collision when it’s more affordable for me. so, i’ve had to file through their claims, bristol west. i didn’t call the police for this accident; i was rear ended really horribly two years ago in this same town and it took 2+ hours for a cop to arrive. i have a large event happening at work this week and i legitimately didn’t have the time to spare to wait for an officer to show up. neither of us were hurt, and the damage isn’t too horrible (from what i can tell) so i couldn’t risk missing my morning at work. i know this isn’t great as a police report would help with the story, but i can’t change the past. does anyone have any experience with this? the girl who hit me was very apologetic to my face, but im worried that her story/her insurance (known for high-risk drivers) will try to swindle me and i don’t have my own collision insurance. does this seem straight forward enough or am i in for a headache? thank you for your help, advice, and guidance. edit: would it be worth it to go on my cities FB page and ask if there were any witnesses? it’s a pretty common intersection and my city is relatively small. also, should i contact the police department to see if there is intersection footage? i just want to be as prepared as possible since i don’t have any dashcam footage. thanks

Hey all I have to choose between some state medi-cal options for health insurance. The choices are community health, Molina healthcare and Blue shield healthcare. I've already dealt with Molina and I don't like them for my needs. So it's: Community Health vs. Blue shield. Context: My mother and I ( 55 F & 26 F) both suffer from certain health issues and will need specialists treatment, physical therapy and possibly even cardiology treatments (fingers crossed none of it is harmful). Some of these may even be genetic or hereditary, so appropriate testing and treatment are very important. We have either been diagnosed or have a probable diagnosis of some of these below 👇 Examples: •reynard's syndrome (a type of nerve condition) • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Wiggly Joints (causes wear of the joints and hyper mobility) Just to name a few. What I'm looking for is are there any miracle stories? Horror stories? Good experiences or bad? Which choice sounds the best for our needs of anyone can relate to us or has any experience looking for these things. TIA so much. P.S. I am still figuring out reddit so I may not be able to edit the post BUT I will reply in comments! Thank you!

Back in December I got in a car accident. Literally work 4 mins away. I only drive to work to be able to pay my car and insurance. Long story short … I was in a 2 weeks waiting period before my insurance started thinking my last insurance was still active (it wasn’t). Police came and still accepted the insurance. Didn’t get cited or anything. My insurance said they can’t cover since it was during the waiting period… guy attempted to contact a lawyer and claim injuries but wasn’t injured after all or they didn’t find anything wrong. He doesn’t wanna admit to fault because he was speeding so obviously his insurance is blaming me. They called and threatened to report me to DMV and get my license suspended if I don’t pay 15k… I told them I wanted the case to be re-evaluated since I know I’m not 100% at fault. They never called again and since then my license is still active. I haven’t heard back from either his insurance or the lawyer he was trying to claim injuries . What happens now ? Is my license still a threat to be suspended due to my insurance not being active at the moment even if the cops didn’t ticket me ? Should I just not worry if they’re not calling me anymore ? I also don’t wanna get in trouble but the fact that the guy tried to claim injuries and lied about his speed isn’t fair to me

Help me understand this one. My wife was injured by my neighbor's dog, knocking her down and tearing her ACL (it wasn't aggressive, just large and friendly, freak accident.) Surgery was very expensive, went through my employer based insurance, no big deal. We start getting letters from Conduent, asking if someone else was responsible. Yes, neighbors dog and property. Gave them the insurance info, we all expected some subrogation of claim and I'd prepped my neighbors for that. Then I get another letter asking about what legal representation we retained in a suit against them. I called them and told them we haven't sued them. That we have a good relationship either our neighbors, it was a freak accident, and we aren't litigious. The woman sounded extremely skeptical and said something to the effect of "let's see how you feel about your neighbors in a few months. I'll check back in 6 months." It was the tone that really bothered me, sort of like "oh you just wait and see, you will!" Like something is coming down the pike that's really going to ruin my day and make me want to sue my neighbors. Can someone walk me through this one? Insurers work together in auto accidents without requiring litigation, I figured it would be the same thing here.

So I just got a 37% increase this year and this is now a 77% over two years. Based on the cost increases in my area for Vet care. This is what they said: We recently reviewed the data for similar pets in your area, and we found that the average cost and use of veterinary care has increased. To ensure that Geena always has access to the best veterinary care possible, we’ll be changing Geena's monthly cost from $302.79 to $413.04 starting on August 17, 2025. Trupanion is unique in that we never increase your monthly cost because you’ve submitted an invoice or because your pet ages. When I called them they said there are many factors that go into this cost one of them is the increased cost of vet care for an older dog. So they do not increase for cost because your dog is older but they do increase your cost because and older dog vet cost are higher. Don't you love insurance companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not enrolled in Trupanion but I am interested in them because of their direct pay options.. however I was chatting with an agent and I asked about prior history of colds or ear infections and she said that would be a pre-existing condition. She said it also depends on the record review. I asked for a contact to review my records and she said that can only be done after enrolling. I asked for a compliance department contact, and she said that isn't available for members. Can someone give me any insight to any of these statements? I'm getting different responses when I speak with different agents.

I am getting a new car delivered to me friday and trading my old one in, I went to update my insurance policy through state farm & it’s showing my total change cost to be $733 just to remove my old car & add the new one. Is this normal? That seems insanely high
