Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Munchkin coroner in “The Wizard of Oz” and proclaimed in the movie that the Wicked Witch of the East was “really most sincerely dead,” has died. He was 94.

His caregiver, Cindy Bosnyak, said Raabe — pronounced RAH’-bee — died Friday morning at a hospital in Orange Park, Fla. He was one of the few surviving Munchkins from the 1939 film.

Bosnyak said he complained of a sore throat at his retirement community before collapsing and going into cardiac arrest. He was taken to Orange Park Medical Center, where he later died, she said.

“He had a headful of hair at 94 and he … remembered everything everyday,” she said. “To me he was a walking history book, very alert.”

Raabe was one of the 124 Munchkins in the film classic and one of only nine who had speaking parts. He was 22 years old and a show business veteran, earning money for college as a “midget” performer, as they were called then, when the movie was shot in 1938.

Raabe portrayed the diminutive Munchkin official who solemnly pronounces the witch dead after Dorothy’s farmhouse lands on her: “As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her, And she’s not only merely dead, she’s really most sincerely dead.”

His costume included a huge hat with a rolled brim, and dyed yak hair was used for his handlebar mustache and long beard.

In a 1988 Associated Press interview, he said he had no idea the movie would become a classic, because at the time of its release, it was overshadowed by “Gone With the Wind.”

“It was only after CBS got the film in 1956 and used it for their promotions that it became as well known,” he said.

“There is nothing in the picture that dates it,” he said. “There are no old vintage cars or old vintage streetcars. … It’s a fantasy picture that will be fantasy for generations to come.”

Raabe was about 3 1/2 feet tall when the movie was made. He eventually grew to about 4 1/2 feet. He toured the country for 30 years in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, promoting hot dogs as “Little Oscar, the World’s Smallest Chef.”

He also enjoyed going to Oz nostalgia events and getting fan mail.

“It’s an ego trip,” he said. “This is our reward, the nostalgia.”

In 2005, his book “Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road,” co-written by Daniel Kinske, was published. In later years, he lived in a retirement community in Penney Farms, Fla.

In 2007, Raabe was one of seven surviving Munchkins on hand when the Munchkins were honored in Los Angeles with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Raabe said he couldn’t remember what he was paid for his role in the movie, but that it was very low.

“By today’s standards, people would say you were crazy to work for that,” he said.

Raabe, born in Watertown, Wis., in 1915, was a member of the Midget City cast at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1934. He also performed at other fairs, including the San Diego Exposition in 1935.

“By working at these world’s fairs as a midget, I was able to work my way through the university,” Raabe said. He earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin and, years later, a master’s degree in business administration from Drexel University.

Raabe married Marie Hartline, who worked for a vaudeville show called Rose’s Royal Midget Troupe, in 1946. She died in a car crash in 1997.

Raabe said some little people resented the word “midget,” but that was the description widely used when he was in show business.

“My wife and I were both in show business, were both midgets. My wife worked from 1929 to 1932 as a member of Rose’s Royal Midgets, the largest midget troupe in vaudeville,” he said.

Raabe became a regular visitor to the annual OzFest in Chittenango, N.Y., the birthplace of “Oz” author L. Frank Baum, after reading about it in a magazine in the late 1980s.

“Meinhardt wrote us a letter and said, `You know I’m a Munchkin. I was in this movie. Would you ever be interested in having me come.’ Of course, after we stopped screaming …,” organizer Barbara Evans said in 1998.

“Things didn’t start to get really big until Meinhardt first came and we started getting the Munchkins to come,” said Evans.

Associated Press writer Daniel Yee in Atlanta contributed to this report.

The only way you are going to find the best deal is if you make use of auto insurance comparisons. It does not make sense to simply accept a premium from the first auto insurance company you see. The reason it is important you get the lowest premium you can is because you have to pay the premium every month for as many years as you drive a car. When you think about the amount of money you will be paying out over many years it adds up. When you are looking for auto insurance then don’t only think about now. You must take a good look at your driving career as a whole.

Now that you understand the importance of getting the best value for the premium you pay you must make comparisons. This procedure is not as complicated or time consuming as you may think. There are websites set up to make it a whole lot easier. In fact, it’s so easy all you have to do is fill in your zip code and click in order to start the process. Once you do this you will be provided with a list of a variety of auto insurance companies. Within minutes you will see what their premiums are. This information enables you to make auto insurance comparisons so that you can contact the companies that most interest you.

At this point it is necessary for you to understand that it is not necessarily the cheapest premium that is going to give you the best value. It is the premium that is going to give you the most coverage for your money that adds value. In other words, you want to pay the least in order to get the coverage you need. There is no point in paying for coverage that does not apply to your particular situation. The only way to get the value you want is by comparing auto insurance companies, premiums and policies.

As the current recession we are experiencing continues, people continue to find ways to cut down on their cost of living expenses. This, of course, includes the cost of insuring our vehicles. The good news is, as drivers become more and more aware of the rates they are paying for coverage, the insurance companies are becoming more and more aware that they need to stay competitive. This is actually helping to lower rates. Getting an affordable auto insurance quote is a lot easier today than it was just a few years ago. In order to get the lowest auto quote possible, follow these steps.

1) Shop online. The greatest discounts are offered online. Not only is it extremely efficient to get auto insurance quotes from many different companies and compare them, most of these companies actually offer their lowest rates to those who shop online. Find a good insurance directory that will enable you to compare rates of many different companies, all in one shot.

2) Show yourself in a positive light. If you are considered to be a safe driver by the insurance company, you will be offered the lowest quotes. Take some driving courses, keep a clean driving record, and don’t make insurance claims for minor things.

3) Keep your car protected at all times. Spend some time and money installing anti theft products on your car to keep it safe from burglary. Also, make sure to keep your car in a safe location whenever you are not driving it. Many insurance companies now want to know where it is that you will be storing your car. Find someplace safe, lit and enclosed to get the lowest quotes.

While I’m not an insurance expert, I am a very savvy consumer. You can see more about what I’ve learned about how to get the lowest auto insurance estimates at www.affordableinsuranceoptionsonline.com.

10 Ways To Lower Your Auto Insurance
 by: Pete Lance

Nowadays, auto insurance is really expensive. A typical insurance policy can cost a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars a year. And the insurance rates you pay are hugely dependent on the insurance company or agent, your age, your car type, your driving record, and even the area you reside in!

You should never go without auto insurance though, despite the costs. Almost all the states require you to protect yourself with a minimum amount of liability coverage. Naturally, the bare minimum is not adequate enough for the average car owner. And as you add in additional coverage for your car, you realize that you will be paying a fairly large sum annually.

So, understanding auto insurance can actually help you to decide on a suitable insurance policy that won’t vacuum clean your wallet! Here, we have gathered 10 of the best tips for lowering your auto insurance, by as much as 40%!

Always compare insurance policies. There are states which regulate auto insurance rates, but the insurance premiums can vary by hundreds of dollars for the exact same coverage. It is definitely worthwhile to shop around. The first thing you can do is to check with your state insurance department. They often provide information about the coverage you need, as well as sample rates from the biggest companies. You can also ask your friends or look up the yellow pages. Checking consumer guides and asking insurance agents can pay off as well. You can easily find out the price range for your insurance policy, as well as discover the lowest prices in town.

However, you should not be shopping based on price along. The insurance company should provide good service at the best price. Excellent personal service is available as well, and they provide added conveniences, although they cost a fair bit more. Ask the company how you can lower your costs, and also check their financial ratings. The rule of thumb is always to get three price quotes from three different companies, and pick the one with the best value.

It can also be a good idea to increase your deductibles. When you file a claim, the deductible is the amount you pay before the insurance company pays for the rest of the damage. A higher deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage can lead to a much lower premium. For example, increasing your deductible from $200 to $400 can reduce your premiums by up to 25%. However, you must ensure that you have the financial resources to handle the largest deductible when the time comes.

Remove certain types of coverage from your policy. Almost all the states require liability coverage for your car, but the rest of the coverage is probably dispensable. However, you do not want to be underinsured if you’re in an accident, so it isn’t advisable to remove all of your additional coverage. Optional coverage includes medical payments, uninsured motorist, collision, and comprehensive coverage.

Drop collision and comprehensive coverage for older cars. If you drive an older car that’s worth less than $2,000, it’s probably more cost-effective to drop collision and comprehensive coverage since you’ll probably pay more for the coverage than you’ll collect for a claim. You can find out the worth of your car by asking auto dealers and banks.

Make sure your credit report looks good. Car insurance companies often look at your credit history as there is a correlation between the risk to the company and your credit history. If you pay your bills on time and maintain a good credit history, you can enjoy lower insurance rates.

Drive less. Insurance companies often offer low-mileage discounts to motorists who drive less than a predetermined number of miles each year. You can use public transportation more often, car-pool with friends, and take the train or a plane instead of driving to another state. And you’ll save on more than your coverage as you’ll need to spend less on gasoline (of which prices are incredibly high).

Maintain a clean driving record. The company will give you a price break and you can save on your insurance policy after a specified period of a clean driving record. This means that you have no accidents, no serious driving violations etc, during this period of time. The simplest and surefire way to qualify for this discount is to drive carefully and defensively all the time.

Choose a low-profile car. Insurance rates vary among difference models of vehicles. Generally, sports cars and high-performance cars tend to cost more to insure, mainly because they represent more risk of theft and the drivers are often the people who drive more recklessly. Newer cars will cost more to repair or replace than older ones, so naturally they can more to insure. Low-risk vehicles include station wagons and sedans.

Ask about safety and security discounts. The insurance companies sometimes offer discounts on your insurance if your car is equipped with the following: anti-lock brakes, air bags, automatic seat belts, car alarms, tracking systems. These reduce the injury risk to you, as well as the chances of your car being vandalized or stolen.

Finally, ask about other discounts. You may receive a discount if you buy more than one type of insurance from the same company or if you insure multiple cars under the same policy or company. You may also receive discounts for taking a defensive driving course, staying with the same company for a few years, being a driver over 50, good-student discounts, and being an AAA member. If you already have adequate health insurance, you can also eliminate paying for duplicate medical coverage, thus lowering your personal injury protection costs by a substantial amount.

How To Change Auto Insurance Companies
 by: Matt McWilliams

Changing Auto Insurance Companies May be Easier Than you Think!

There are many reasons why you may choose to change your auto insurance coverage to another company. Perhaps you’ve found another company that offers you the same amount of coverage for considerably less money. You might have changed jobs and are eligible for a group discount through another insurer, or maybe you’re unhappy with the service that your present company provides. With the growth of the internet and quote comparison sites, investigating your options has never been easier!

Why change to a new Auto insurance carrier?

You need to regularly review your auto insurance coverage to make sure that you are receiving the best insurance value for your money. You will discover that it pays to shop around. In some states, premiums for identical policies vary widely among different auto insurance companies. The reasons for this price variation can be very complicated, but they boil down to a company’s claims experience with policyholders in a coverage group (e.g. people of similar age, number of accidents, type of vehicle). For example, if a large number of people in a coverage group files claims during a given year, their rates will likely rise. When this happens, better discounts and lower overall premiums may be available at other insurance companies. When you decide to switch your auto insurance to another company, you’ll find that it’s fairly easy to do so.

How to cancel your old Auto Insurance policy

Generally, all you need to do to cancel your auto insurance policy is to inform your insurance company in writing, specifying the date you want the policy canceled. In some states, the new agent must notify the previous agent of the policy change. Some auto insurance companies ask the policyholder send back the actual printed policy. The insurance company will send a cancellation request form that will need to be signed and returned. Examine the form carefully to make sure that all information regarding the policy is correct. If the form is not received within two weeks of sending the letter, call the agent or company immediately to check on the status of the cancellation. Don’t just walk away from the old policy without formally canceling it. Each state requires that auto Insurance policies be cancelled with notice, thus the insurance company might assume one wished to continue the coverage, and it might eventually terminate the policy for failure to pay premiums and report the lack of coverage to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. This can hurt your credit rating and ability to get a new policy.

Be sure to get a new Auto Insurance policy first

Always have a new policy in place before canceling the old auto insurance coverage. Otherwise you might have a gap in protection for a day or more! Most states require all drivers to carry a minimum level of auto insurance and most insurance companies require policyholders to present proof of new coverage before they will cancel an active policy. The new company will be able to time the beginning of the new policy to coincide with the cancellation of the prior coverage.

When to Change Auto Insurance policies

At Renewal

Renewal is a convenient time to change auto insurance policies, as you don’t have to wait for a refund from your current carrier. A renewal notice will be sent to you approximately 30 days before a new policy begins, depending on the regulations in your state. Should you decide to switch companies, you’ll need to have a new policy by the time the current policy renews. Though a company might say there is 10-30 days to get your payment in before a policy terminates, you do not have coverage until the carrier receives the payment. If you have an accident during this time period you most likely will have no coverage since the premium wasn’t paid!

Anytime:

All Auto insurance policies contain a provision allowing you to cancel your policy with proper notice at any time. In a few states auto insurance companies “short rate” the policy that means one pays a penalty for canceling before the policy renews. Most insurance companies pro-rate their policies so there is no penalty. The advantage of switching before the renewal date can save you a lot of money. For example if you have a policy that runs from Jan 15th to Aug 15th and you have an accident or ticket that will be over 36 months on March 15th. By switching Auto insurance companies on March 16th, you get a discount for having a clean driving record. Your current carrier won’t apply this discount until the policy renews on August 15th! This can save you Hundreds of dollars immediately!

How long does it take to change Auto insurance?

When you change auto insurance companies, the new agent or insurer can generally change carriers while you wait! Generally they’ll just need a copy of your current declaration page, driver’s license and down payment to get the policy issued.

Auto Insurance Rating – How To Find The Best Auto Insurance Rating

There are many web sites that will help you find the best auto insurance rating that you may qualify for. It can be difficult to get excited about shopping for an auto insurance policy, but the payoff can make it worthwhile. Recently we went online and asked for a car insurance quote from three of the big companies. There was an eight hundred dollar difference in price from the highest quote to the lowest.

An eight hundred dollar difference is quite a substantial sum of money. Especially considering filling out the form on the multiple quote web site we visited took less than thirty minutes. That amount of money may make shopping for auto insurance much more exciting than you thought it could be.

There are no secrets to finding out how the auto insurance rating system works. Some companies have a much stronger bottom line than their competitors so they can afford to offer a lower price on the car insurance policy you need. Other companies can offer you a lower quote because they put more importance on some of your information than others.

For instance say company X sees that you got a speeding ticket five years ago. They may put a lot of emphasis on that and charge you a higher rate for your vehicle insurance. Another company may see that same speeding ticket, but see that you have never had another traffic violation. They may be inclined to give you a break on your one speeding ticket. This is what accounts for the difference in auto insurance quotes.

The one thing you can be sure of is that different companies will have different auto insurance rating systems in place. This is why shopping online for auto insurance will save you money. You can compare quotes in minutes and save yourself hundreds of dollars in the process.

States launch lawsuits against healthcare plan – Yahoo! News

CHICAGO (Reuters) –
Less than 24 hours after the House of Representatives gave final approval to a sweeping overhaul of healthcare, attorneys general from several states on Monday said they will sue to block the plan on constitutional grounds.

Republican attorneys general in 11 states warned that lawsuits will be filed to stop the federal government overstepping its constitutional powers and usurping states' sovereignty.

States are concerned the burden of providing healthcare will fall on them without enough federal support.

Ten of the attorneys general plan to band together in a collective lawsuit on behalf of Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

“To protect all Texans' constitutional rights, preserve the constitutional framework intended by our nation's founders, and defend our state from further infringement by the federal government, the State of Texas and other states will legally challenge the federal health care legislation,” said Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, in a statement.

The Republican attorney generals say the reforms infringe on state powers under the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli, who plans to file a lawsuit in federal court in Richmond, Virginia, said Congress lacks authority under its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce to force people to buy insurance. The bill also conflicts with a state law that says Virginians cannot be required to buy insurance, he added.

“If a person decides not to buy health insurance, that person by definition is not engaging in commerce,” Cuccinelli said in recorded comments. “If you are not engaging in commerce, how can the federal government regulate you?”

In addition to the pending lawsuits, bills and resolutions have been introduced in at least 36 state legislatures seeking to limit or oppose various aspects of the reform plan through laws or state constitutional amendments, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

So far, only two states, Idaho and Virginia, have enacted laws, while an Arizona constitutional amendment is seeking voter approval on the November ballot. But the actual enactment of the bill by President Barack Obama could spur more movement on the measures by state lawmakers.

As is the case on the Congressional level, partisan politics is in play on the state level, where no anti-health care reform legislation has emerged in Democrat-dominated states like Illinois and New York, according to the NCSL.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, a Republican candidate running for governor, said the mandate would cost Florida at least $1.6 billion in Medicaid alone.

All states would receive extra funding to cover Medicaid costs that are expected to rise under the reform, including 100 percent federal coverage for new enrollees under the plan through 2016.

Medicaid is the healthcare program for the poor jointly administered by the states and federal government.

Get Those Auto Insurance Quotes Without Personal Information

Really to pull up auto insurance quotes without personal information should be something done simply. Many companies will provide you with free quotes and no information besides an email address needs to be provided. You need the email down so you can get the link for the quotes when they are ready to look at.

There should only be one time in the process of buying auto insurance that you will provide your social security number. That will be after you have picked a company and are filling out a form at their web page. Only one time will you need to provide this information.

First pull up your quote and check to find a company that you like and has the best rate. You should get your quotes about an hour after you have requested them. Follow that link in the email that you receive from them.

Look to see that each quote is comparable with the other ones that have been provided on your link. This means looking to see that deductible and policy length match on the different offers. You can adjust your deductible later on to save money, for now just have the amounts match.

With having the same deductible set on each offer no company will have an unfair advantage. Since it is so easy to save money on a higher deductible, well their quotes may look better. But when you have the amounts the same you will get a true comparison that you can use.

Pick the best offer from your quotes and follow the link to the page of the company you are buying from. Now you will need to have your social security number and VIN number ready. Also your license will need to be provided so they can look up your driving record.

Finish up the process and make sure you have discounts applied to help you save more money. Print out a copy of that insurance card to place in your vehicle too.
