Insurance Minimums in the US
Posted by in Uncategorized on May 16, 2012
Auto insurance minimums are different from one state to the other that is why it is important for you to get a hold of the required coverage issued by your state. Insurance minimums, although approved by law, are usually not enough. If you are looking to save some money though, getting the minimum coverage based on your state’s laws is a good idea as long as you are ready to shoulder all other expenses in the future.
Here is the list of the minimum auto insurance by state:
- Alaska 50/100/25
- Alabama 25/50/25
- Arkansas 25/50/25
- Arizona 15/30/10
- California 15/30/5
- Colorado 25/50/15
- Connecticut 20/40/10
- Delaware 15/30/10
- Florida 10/20/10
- Georgia 25/50/25
- Hawaii 20/40/10
- Idaho 20/50/15
- Illinois 20/40/15
- Indiana 25/50/10
- Iowa 20/40/15
- Kansas 25/50/10
- Kentucky 25/50/10
- Louisiana 15/30/25
- Maine 50/100/25
- Maryland 30/60/15
- Massachusetts 20/40/5
- Michigan 20/40/10
- Minnesota 30/60/10
- Mississippi 25/50/25
- Missouri 25/50/10
- Montana 25/50/10
- Nebraska 25/50/25
- New Hampshire 25/50/25
- New Jersey 15/30/5
- New Mexico 25/50/10
- Nevada 15/30/10
- New York 25/50/10
- North Carolina 30/60/25
- North Dakota 25/50/25
- Ohio 12.5/25/7.5
- Oklahoma 25/50/25
- Oregon 25/50/20
- Pennsylvania 15/30/5
- Rhode Island 25/50/25
- South Carolina 25/50/25
- South Dakota 25/50/25
- Tennessee 25/50/15
- Texas 30/60/25
- Utah 25/65/15
- Virginia 25/50/20
- Vermont 25/50/10
- Washington 25/50/10
- Wisconsin 50/100/55
- West Virginia 20/40/10
- Wyoming 25/100/15
What do these numbers mean? Let’s take Wisconsin as an example. The minimum is 50/100/55 – 50 and 100 refer to the limits of coverage for bodily injury while 55 refers to the limit of our coverage in terms of property damage. This means that in a state minimum of 50/100/55, the maximum that your insurance will pay is only up to 50, 000 with a 100, 000 provision per accident. The problem with this is that what if there are more people who need 50, 000 because of bodily injury? You would either have to shoulder the costs or get sued for them. The last number of course is the minimum that your insurance will pay for property damage, if it goes over that number, then you would have to pay for the remainder.
Some people only get coverage based on the minimum requirement of their state but if you look at the example above, one can see that this minimum is not enough and will not even cover other expenses.
Think of it this way, good policy is an investment. That is why you should at least get other auto insurance coverage aside from what is required.
Accutane – Acne Myths
Posted by in Accutane - Acne Myths on May 15, 2012
A powerful drug that treats acne, Accutane is quite popular among those who suffer from a severe acne condition. Accutane is usually used for the treatment of cystic acne but is never really given to individuals who have mild acne breakouts. Before you decide on what to do with those pimples though, it is best to learn more about the skin condition. Often, we base our conclusions on things we see on commercials or unreliable data we read online and this usually involves believing in what one would call a myth. Here are the most popular myths about acne:
Acne Myth #1 Washing your face often enough will get rid of acne
Your pimples aren’t caused by dirt. In fact, frequent washing of the face may even irritate the skin but the question is, what causes pimples? The pores sticking together is one of the major reasons why you get pimples.
Acne Myth #2 Too much stress can cause acne
It is true that being under too much stress affects one’s hormones but did you know that certain psychiatric drugs can cause acne? If you are stressed out and taking antidepressants, the stress you are going through isn’t what’s causing your acne breakouts.
Acne Myth #3 The sun cures acne
Sun exposure is beneficial for us to get that much needed Vitamin D. However, sun exposure after 9 in the morning will only cause skin damage. Aside from causing wrinkles and sunburn, too much sun exposure may lead to skin cancer.
Acne Myth #4 What you eat can either stop breakouts or cause them
Although diet is connected to a number of health conditions or disappearance of such conditions, experts say that there is still a need for hard evidence to prove this theory. It doesn’t hurt to eat healthy though but do not count on it to get rid of your acne.
Acne Myth #5 Sex causes acne
This myth is an age-old one when people from the 17th century wanted to discourage pre-marital sex.
If you think your acne could no longer be treated with topical treatments, asking your dermatologist if you are eligible to use Accutane is a good idea. Make sure however that you read more about Accutane before you start using it – some people are more sensitive to drugs than others and getting an allergic reaction won’t help you at all.

A trackpad has a tactile sensor that translates the gestures of your fingers. It is a common feature of notebooks and laptops that allows you to point areas on their screens. On the other hand, a desktop computer uses a computer mouse as its pointing device. To let Mac desktop computer users enjoy the same feature, Apple introduced its Magic Trackpad. Magic Trackpad uses Multi-Touch technology that allows you to point, swipe, scroll, and click on your Mac desktop screen using your fingers.
