Do insurers care for us?

If you look around the world, it is quickly obvious no other country runs their healthcare service quite like us. At this point, most people throw up their arms and fall about laughing. Foreigners are mostly socialist or, worse, communist and have no more idea of how to run a health service than Dracula. Those with statistics at their finger tips point out we spend far more per head on health than any other nation. Curiously, this ignores two factors. First we perform very badly in comparison with other countries. We have fewer doctors and other healthcare workers per head of population, we are more heavily dependent on drugs, and people in other developed countries enjoy better lives and live longer. So we are not getting value for money. Second, the government makes the largest contribution to paying for our healthcare. Almost 30% of the population receive their care through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs funded by the state. So two-thirds of the adult population pay twice: once to buy their own health plans and second to pay for the healthcare of others through tax.  More Wealth...

Life insurance free of taxes

Do not look at this article as a tax planning advice. Make sure you get advice from a professional who can evaluate your personal assets and be sure the advice given is valid for your situation. Here we just discuss the general principles and give some examples to make the most approximate calculations. People usually buy life coverage to get a peace of mind. Hardship can occur suddenly to everyone and many people are hit by an unexpected death and find themselves in difficulties. Therefore having a policy always looks to be the right thing. And you can find a lucky advantage of this type of insurance while reading the terms – tax-free policy aspects. This means the federal government encourages us to save and invest in our family’s prospect. So you can deduct the regular payments from your gross income before tax. With the “tax-free” investments there are going to be capital gains in case the economics is stable enough. Moreover no tax is paid on any investment income generated and no income tax is payable during the term of the policy. This is a really good advantage for all the family!  More Wealth...

Do citizens really need FEMA?

Well, Libertarians take people who benefit from a state aid for scroungers. The Tea Party would also speak as the disillusioned blaming the Big Government for being too quick stepping in to help citizens in trouble. All those critics think the citizens are just doing nothing waiting for the the Government to put some money in their hands sooner or later instead of taking any precautions on their own… Their notion is that everyone should pay for cover and never be allowed to rely on tax dollars for support. But such speeches only are heard only until a disaster hits the home of a Libertarian. As it happens the flip-floppers start shouting the federal government is too slow with a response.  More Wealth...

How much exercise is good for you?

Let’s keep this real. For the majority, the idea of regular exercise is not a top priority. The closest most come to it is watching reality shows like The Biggest Loser in which celebrity trainers try to persuade unhealthily overweight families to change their lives for the better. Which, of course, brings us to the usual health pitch. All the medical evidence shows the link between those extra pounds and all those unfortunate health problems like diabetes, heart disease and some of the cancers. So, if you ask anyone wearing an expert’s hat, you will always hear the same advice to lose those extra pounds. The usual encouraging formula is any reduction of 10% or more in body weight adds years of healthy life. These experts pick 10% because the research shows any higher target is rejected as being beyond reach. In fact, many find the prospect of trying to lose 10% too much and give up before they start. Nevertheless, you will encounter real problems in getting health cover if you are obviously overweight. The insurer will load the premium rate to encourage you to get into the weight loss game.  More Wealth...
