Appliance insurance
Article Abstract:
Extended warranties, which are a type of breakdown insurance, have until recently been the only option for consumers seeking to make provision for meeting the cost of appliance repairs. However, many insurance companies are now making their own breakdown policies available. These allow the consumer to insure products which are not new, can be paid on a monthly basis and do not involve the consumer in meeting the cost of repairs and then being reimbursed later. They are more flexible than extended warranties.

Dental insurance: with the declining availability of NHS dental treatment, should you take out insurance to protect you from high dental charges?
Article Abstract:
Under the NHS 20% of dental costs or anything over 330 pounds sterling is paid by the state. Private dentists often have a higher standard of service, but charges are higher. An insurance plan can cover unexpected large bills, and the three main insurance plans are capitation schemes, dental insurance schemes and health care cash plans. Some examples of these schemes are provided.
