The Private Health Care Insurance Debate
For a majority of people, health care is one of those sensitive subjects. No matter what solution to health care is presented, there is undoubtedly going to be someone that disagrees.

It is certainly possible for a parent to sign a deed transferring complete title of the parent's home to a child. However, the parent should be very sure he or she understands the ramifications of signing such a deed. First of all, this is a taxable gift. However, in most states there is no state gift tax to worry about, and if your total gifts during life will never exceed $1 million, you'll have no federal gift tax to worry about, either. Second, and more importantly, you no longer own the house. That means that you're at the mercy of your child who now owns it. But you're not worried about your child kicking you out, you say? That's not necessarily the issue. What you should be concerned about is...

Medicaid and the Living Trust
You've probably gotten a postcard or seen an ad for a seminar on "Living Trusts" and all the benefits they supposedly offer you. Basically, a Living Trust is a trust you create and fund during your life and which you retain the ability to change and revoke at any time. They have their place and can be quite useful, in the right circumstances, but the question of today is whether they are useful if you may be applying for Medicaid. The problem with Living Trusts for someone applying for Medicaid is that everything titled in the name of the Living Trust is considered an available asset, even if it was exempt outside of the Living Trust. For instance, your home is exempt (up to $500,000), but if you...
The Revocable Living Trust - The Facts and the...
Over the last ten to fifteen years, much has been written about the Revocable Living Trust by estate and financial planners, some of which has been factually accurate and some of which has been purely fictional. By most accounts the Living Trust was first heavily promoted by estate planners in California where the cost of probate and the length of time involved in probating a Last Will and Testament has been described as onerous. However, as a result of extensive promotion, its popularity has spread eastward over the last five years. Although it has not been widely embraced by attorneys in New York, its use as an estate planning tool has increased in popularity. WHAT IS A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST? A...

Being in the dark about your parents financial situation. Know whether or not they have a long term care policy. If so, you should know where it is and make sure it's easily accessible.

Health insurers warned against the Obama administration's reforms. According to them, the premiums from the guaranteed influx of customers complying with the law's individual mandate would not offset the higher medical costs resulting from their being forced to accept patients with pre-existing conditions. Indeed, several major health insurance companies have increased their rates since healthcare reform passed in March. Democrats in Congress have sternly told insurers that purposely increasing rates ahead of the deadlines for rate caps is strictly verboten. It remains to be seen if recent increases would be considered justified. Said increases include a 29% jump in health insurance rates for Humana...

Negative Impact of Health Insurance Reform on...
Supporters of healthcare reform claim that it will make insurance more affordable, especially for individuals and small groups. Increased consumer protection and newly-created exchange markets would presumably allow smaller businesses to band together for cheaper rates. That would allow them to better compete with large corporations, who are able to use their buying power to decrease their health insurance costs. However, the results may not be so bright. Some examples from Massachusetts, which enacted its own legislation several years ago, are beginning to become apparent. They highlight the downside of affordable health insurance reform for small business owners. The national law gives the federal...

Salt River Project could see as many as half its employees walk off the job if the Arizona utility can’t work out a new labor contract for hourly workers.
