Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.New research looking at decision-making habits in the UK suggests that 37% of people have home contents insurance, but no life assurance.
Of those surveyed for the report by Zurich, only 58% have building insurance, just over a third have life assurance and three quarters have taken out home contents insurance.
“Although more people thought that life cover should be the highest priority in terms of having insurance, it only ranks fourth in the cover that people actually buy," said Phil Brown, Zurich’s Head of Protection and Underwriting."
