Reply to How does MassHealth compare with Medicaid in other states, specifically in DC? by Clollin

Compared to other states, our Medicaid is extremely progressive and widely accepted. We have more generous coverage policies...for things like trans healthcare or those with disabilities, etc.

Only a couple of other states have a more generous Medicaid program, those being NY and CA. And while those states have better reporting and maintaining Medicaid benefits guidelines, their Medicaid programs aren't as widely accepted.

And of course, having Masshealth gives you access to our healthcare providers ; Medicaid wouldn't cover healthcare out of network, and luckily Masshealth members' network includes globally-esteemed MA healthcare.

I’m kicking myself for not switching to geico sooner. My car insurance went from over $1200/year with Safety to just under $600 with Geico - with all the same safety coverage. For reference I’m mid 30s, never been in an accident and have a 2021 Jeep.

Progressive and it is extremely affordable. We had Arabella years ago. Switched to Hanover because they offered us a huge discount. Premium went up 3 times as much when we had a teen driver. After a few months I checked with Progressive. They offered us a rate only a bit above our Hanover rate for 2 adults with spotless driving records. This included a teen driver and 3rd car. We have been loyal customers since.

MAPFRE/AAA. Cheapest one I found, and they’re a nonprofit. Gecko, Progressive, etc. we’re far more expensive for me, personally.

You will save a bunch a money on ur car insurance by switchin' to Geico.I had Geico for years and loved until I was forced to switch to a local comany because of a car loan.

I loved Geico and wish I could still use them but my car loan bank says no!

I would keep an eye out for openings in the late spring. Not sure what your sexual preference has to do with your question. If it has to do with Northampton, it’s a very welcoming place for all kinds of people. Wishing the best of luck to you

Reply to 2023 window tint laws in MA by Ex_Otic_69

Yeah that's the law they really can't let anything slide nowadays. The state owns cameras in every inspection station recording the whole thing. Just get legal tint, it's not worth the hassle. If you really want it get it done after you get a sticker. I had super dark tint before and never had any trouble from the police for it but getting a sticker was a PITA. I knew someone who would let it slide but they can't get away with that anymore. The dark driver and passenger windows kinda sucked while driving at night, too.

I have Arabella for home and auto. Affordable and great coverage. Maybe more expensive than the likes of Geico but also far better to deal with and get the money if needed.

I had Hanover for 20+ years, and when my auto/home/umbrella insurance renewal came up, I decided to look around finally. I ended up with Safeco, more coverage, and saved $800+. I do have an insurance agency my family has been working with for many, many years, IMA in Worcester, and they were very helpful in finding the best coverage for me.
