At Plexus, we enjoy reading about insurance, and we like sharing the interesting stories with you. With that in mind, here are five insurance-related features we're thumbing through, bookmarking and passing along as the week rolls on and the snow and cold rolls in across the East Coast:  
 ⇒ An insurance company buying life insurance policies from policyholders is hoping [a saliva test](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/insurance-company-wants-analyze-saliva-predict-youll-die/)will provide some clues regarding life expectancy.

⇒ An Ohio auto insurer is cutting rates for Tesla owners [who use the car's "Autopilot" system](http://fortune.com/2017/03/14/tesla-autopilot-insurance/).

⇒ If self-driving cars become common, could some [well-known, big-pocketed tech companies](http://www.investors.com/news/technology/apple-tesla-or-verizon-could-sell-auto-insurance-says-report/) leverage their data to get into the auto insurance business?

⇒ The Congressional Budget Office estimates the proposed American Health Care Act would result in [24 million more Americans](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52486) lacking health insurance by 2026 when compared to the Affordable Care Act.

⇒ A federal indictment alleges six people set more than 30 fires over a 16-year-span to collect close to [$1 million in insurance payouts](http://wtvr.com/2017/03/13/6-charged-for-allegedly-setting-homes-on-fire-to-collect-insurance-money/).
