I've found that JD Powers and Weiss Ratings rate companies but I've found no other way of determining which company I should go with. Are there other sites that have some type of rating system for insurance carriers or underwriters?
Saw a commercial for this group this morning. I love the way they spin the story to make it sound like the gov't is doing something bad to the American people. Sorry, soda and sugary drinks are bad for you. I completely support higher taxes on this stuff.

We have a 30 year mortgage (25 years left). If we pay $200 a month more, we will reduce the length of the loan and drop the interest down quite a bit. If we pay $400/mo extra we will end up saving $100,000 in interest over the life of the loan and obviously pay it off sooner.
Is this a bad idea?
