It is common for a motorhome owner to buy a motorhome and not think much at all about getting the best motorhome insurance for their unique RV. Getting the best motorhome insurance is not about getting the best price on motorhome insurance, although that can be part of it, but instead getting the best motorhome insurance is mostly about getting the best additional coverages.

What a great program to spread the word about. It is the LIFE Lessons Scholarship Program

. Here is some info from their website:

"Paying for college is a major financial challenge for most American families, but it becomes infinitely more difficult when a parent dies at an early age. Typically, parents can be counted on to provide at least some financial support for college. But when they're gone and can no longer lend a financial hand, college often seems out of reach for many young people. LIFE takes great pride in being able to help deserving young people realize their dream of achieving a college education."

"LIFE Lessons also provides the LIFE Foundation with the opportunity to help all parents understand the important role that life insurance plays within a sound college-funding plan

. Parents' dreams of a college education for their children don't need to die when they do. If parents account for college funding in their life insurance planning, they can take comfort in knowing that their children will have the chance to pursue a higher education and realize their full potential."

Short term or temporary health insurance is health insurance that just lasts for a certain period of time, typically 6-12 months but sometimes policies are as short as 30 days. Short term health insurance works the same as long term health insurance.

Depending on the policy, you will get a health insurance card and will have a deductible and limits on services. Although short term health insurance works the same as long term health insurance, one needs to realize that there is a major difference in coverage.

, "The controversial practice of using the credit scores

of insurance policyholders as a factor in setting auto and home insurance rates may continue, a divided Michigan Supreme Court said Thursday."

"In a 4-3 ruling, the court found that the state's insurance commissioner exceeded her authority in 2005 by attempting to impose a ban on the credit-based scoring."

I am sure by now you heard about what happened to Natalie Blanchard. Well, if not let me fill you in. In a nutshell, Blanchard was getting insurance benefits for depression. During that time her insurance company found her enjoying some fun times through pictures she posted on her Facebook page. End result... her insurance company cancels the benefits she was getting for depression because of the pictures she posted on her Facebook page.

So, are you thinking this is an isolated incident? Insurance companies don't really look at people's Facebook pages do they? The answer is Yes. Insurance companies have been using the internet and social networking sites as one among many tools to research insurance claims

from their customers. Therefore, you may want to think for a minute who all you want to see your life and who you choose as your friend on your Facebook page.

A woman in Michigan recently had this thought. Unfortunately she decided not take the advice of the article and shot herself instead.

According to www.care2.com

, "Kathy Myers found out the hard way that the ER isn't the answer. Out of work, lacking insurance, and unable to get proper treatment for a painful shoulder injury incurred a month ago, the 41 year-old Michigan woman took drastic steps."

"She lay on her bed, put a pillow over her shoulder, and shot herself with a handgun. Not in a suicide attempt, but in an attempt escape the constant pain and get medical treatment. A month of pain without no end in sight will mess with your head."

I wanted to share a great resource I just found. The website is www.cancerlegalline.org

and it provides answers to many financial questions one may have when dealing with cancer. Topics include insurance, estate planning, and government benefits.

The Cancer Legal Line, according to their website, "is focused on the resources and law in Minnesota," but the resources can certainly be helpful to persons in any state. Just make sure you confirm any information you may decide to use with the laws in your state

.
