Why didn't Republicans tackle healthcare when they controlled the White House & Congress?
From 2000 to 2006 GW Bush was president and the House & Senate were majority Republican. This would have been a perfect opportunity for Republicans to implement tort reform and allow health insurance to be sold across state lines.
Instead all we got was Medicare Part D which was entirely unfunded and makes up the largest ever expansion of "socialized medicine" since the New Deal.
Simply because of the old cliche: "Don't bite the hand that feeds you". Today's Republicans are not the same of the days of old; but corporatist. Many of the major outspoken pundits as well as the GOP Leaders in the US Congress find the campaign war chest filled with contributions from the Medical Industries; whose Lobbyist has reached out and touch them with a handsome reward of cash. Don't believe me, do the research; I dare you!

Everyone out there would be very pleased to find a way of enjoying affordable rates provided such a way won't downgrade the level of coverage they get. Let's explore several time-tested steps to achieving just that...
1. If you can purchase an umbrella policy and then lower your home liability coverage you will save massively. Why this is so much recommended is that it even gives you better coverage at a cheaper rate.
You have home liability coverage to ensure you don't suffer losses due to injury to people on your property. It should as well cover lawsuits that might be occasioned by this. However, every liability coverage has limits that might not even be enough to deal with certain lawsuits.
Nevertheless, an umbrella insurance policy will typically pay fully for even the most cost-intensive of lawsuits and all you'd have to pay are very cheap premiums.
2. You will pay less if you've got motion-sensitive lighting on your property. Your house becomes a no-go area for thieves since they'll be spotted easily. The risk of burglary is a strong factor in determining a home's risk to an insurance company and, consequently, your premium.
3. Checking your plumbing is an important step against water damages. Statistics show that water damage is the most common claim on a homeowner's policy. Therefore, taking steps that reduce your risk of water damage will lower your home insurance premium. Make sure you inform your agent as soon as you improve you plumbing system.
4. Ensure you do NOT leave ladders lying just anywhere. You might be helping burglars with the very equipment required for their activity. Don't also leave your tools, machinery or things like that on the lawn or wherever in the open as they could result to accidental injury and add to your liability claims. They as well make breaking and entry a lot easier for burglars. Keeping these things properly will save you a lot of heartaches along with cheaper premiums.
5. You will save much by visiting at least 5 home insurance quotes sites. If you do this, you'll be more likely to get the lowest quotes available as five sites will present not less than 25 quotes altogether.

Will company (offer letter or life insurance ) which has house adds int be used as address proof for passport?
Possibly not no - the reason they ask for bank statements or household utilities bills is because of the level of compliance these organisations require confirming your identity before adding you as a customer.
I couldn't use a HMRC (VAT) registration document as proof of address the other day!
They are very strict.
