About this product: Simplifying and understanding health care in America.
In 2004, Congress created Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) with the intention of putting the brakes on runaway health care costs. The concept was simple: Get people to start thinking about health care expenses the same way they think about other goods and services they buy. But what started as simple idea has proven to be difficult for many to understand and implement. This book simplifies HSAs and their corresponding HDHPs for business owners and managers alike.
• Covers how HSAs and HDHPs work, the pros and cons of them, how to install them, strategies for getting the most out of them, and how paychecks and taxes are affected • U.S. health care costs were nearly $1.7 trillion in 2003. • According to a national survey, 81% of large and 78% of small companies are considering implementing HSAs by 2006
About this product: This report goes into detail about FSAs and MSAs. Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are employer-established benefit plans that reimburse employees for specified expenses; they first began in the 1970s. Medical savings accounts (MSAs) are tax-advantaged individual savings accounts that can also be used for unreimbursed expenses.
About this product: This monograph explores central issues surrounding the use of tax-deferred investment accounts as a means of accumulating wealth and presents a useful framework, grounded in basic time-value-of-money concepts, that can be readily implemented by investment professionals (U.S. as well as non-U.S. based) in various tax environments (current as well as future).
About this product: A breakthrough in health care for employees and employers alike, HSAs stand for "Health Savings Accounts." As of Januar y 1, 2004, HSAs are a new option from the U.S. government, similar to an IRA, offering individuals a new, tax-sheltered way to accumulate savings. Tax-free dollars in HSAs may be withdrawn instantly for qualified medical expenses, rolled over without penalty for spending in future years, or invested, to accumulate savings to pay for health needs after retirement. As 73% of all Americans spend $500 or less on medical costs each year and most of us want to save for future health care and retirement needs, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) make sense for many of us. The consumer wins with a tax-advantaged account for medical expenses, which is portable, and grows tax-free, just like an IRA; and wins again with using the lower-cost, must have, high-deductible health policy. The 'Consumer's Guide to HSAs' answers the question "What's in it for Me?" But responsibility doesn't stop there. You must read your medical reports, check statements, and count your pills carefully. Ask questions. Keep records for future use, and soon you will realize as much of the benefits of consumer-driven health care and HSAs as possible.
About this product: Credit markets frozen. New housing frozen. Record foreclosures. Circular arguments about government responsibility and government fixes. Class action suits by investors. Criminal investigations. If this sounds familiar in 2008, it's because we lived it before. SAVING FACE is author Bill King s retelling of the savings and loan collapse and its aftermath. Enlivened by his often harrowing experiences as a major player in that industry, SAVING FACE narrates the ways in which the S&L crisis affected the everyday lives of real people at every level of the economy. King shows that eerily similar forces are at play today. King documents the origins of the collapse in Depression era policies that went awry in the 1970s. He then shows how the government, instead of proactively addressing the problem, ignored and denied the very existence of a problem. Ultimately, when the crisis could no longer be swept under the rug, Congress and government regulators blamed the fiasco on S&L crooks. But in 1993 an independent Federal Commission debunked the S&L crook explanation, declaring: It is important to realize that fraud was not the cause of the S&L debacle. Through hundreds of interviews and meticulous research, King traces the true dynamics of the collapse, drawing comparisons to intervening crises -- even scandals -- in government contracting and securities regulations, all the way to the sub-prime meltdown of 2007 - 2008 and the hat-in-hand reality of major financial institutions going begging for survival funds overseas. SAVING FACE shows in vivid detail how we repeat a cycle of almost willful ignorance, and resulting pain from Wall to Main -- for reasons that need not be. In his final section, Lessons Learned, King shows us the beginning of an end to economic insanity, making SAVING FACE a cautionary must-read for every concerned American.
