Maybe the journalism consensus has it wrong.

A few weeks ago, a story flashed across my computer screen about bisphenol A, the plastic additive better known by its initialism BPA. European food safety scientists had been asked on an emergency basis to look into a study that it caused brain damage in rodents, and they were releasing their findings. Scary stuff, I anticipated.

In Minnesota, 468,200 people will be eligible for new tax cuts beginning in 2014 that will significantly reduce the cost of private health insurance for those individuals and families. The historic tax cut in the health reform law, which is estimated to reduce nationwide income taxes by more than $110 billion in 2014 alone, will be provided through tax credits to offset a portion of the cost of health insurance premiums, and Minnesotans’ tax reductions will be $1.8 billion in that year.

Auto insurance companies with a low rate might be able to provide the value at the expense of customer service or quick response times, which impact customers who are involved in an accident. Each company has unique offerings that accompany their policies, and consumers should also look at customer satisfaction ratings before signing with any company. A great rate doesn’t guarantee that the insurance company will also provide excellent customer service or that they will be easy to work with.

One way to narrow down a list of insurance companies is to search the web for complaint ratios.
