What is Universal Health Care?
News You Can Use
You may have seen Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" that brought the concept of Universal Health Care to the public. Univeral Health Care is also known as a single payer system or socialized medicine. It is a health care system sponsored and administered by a single entity, usually the government of a state or country.
Single payer systems control health care costs by controlling the type and frequency of access that people have to services. Countries that use this type of health care include Canada and England. Medicare and Medicaid are single payer systems in the United States.
There have been recent news reports about how this concept really works. You can hear the "Beth Ashmore Chronicle" that demonstrates her experience and the experience of her mother in England's health care system. To hear her compelling story, watch for more information in the news and visit this site.

What if we lose power?
Safety considerations
Last week's power outage was grim reminder of the awesome power on nature. Hopefully, you and your family have had power restored and did not suffer terribly due to the storm.
If you are one of the many people who have considered buying a whole house generator, play it safe. It is very important to have this equipment installed by qualified electrician. If the equipment is not installed properly, it can be very dangerous, particularly when the electric comes back on. There has to be a shut off on the outside of the house to make this as safe as possible.
So, do your homework and shop for a reputable dealer and installer. Then, make sure you understand how your unit works.
Market Volatility
Staying the course
Many of us are concerned about the recent events affecting our economy. Now, more than ever, it is vitally important that each of us do as much as we can to stabilize our own financial situation. If friends and family can offer support, take it and give them support as well. Minimizing the impact this situation has on you and your family will enable you to make better, more rational financial decisions.
Your elected officials are there to serve you, so express yourself to them.
This is a time when they need to put the welfare of their constituents first. Let your voice be heard in many ways and demand that any solution chosen includes accountability. Lack of accountability will leave us in the same position we have had before.
The coming days may bring even more turmoil to the market. As a result, people may be losing their jobs. Plan proactively for the consequences of this. If you do lose your job, contact your creditors immediately. Most creditors will work with you. However, if you end up in collections, you have no room to negotiate.
Things are difficult now, but the problems won't last. The best defense against market declines is to stay diversified, stay the course and maintain a long term perspective.
