- It's The Economy Stupid, It's All Good
By: Fritz Pfister | - All is well in the Land of Lincoln. The Springfield Illinois economy is doing better than most with unemployment second lowest in the state, home sales up, home prices up, and running on optimism.

- Want To Sell Your Home? Better Pay Attention
By: Fritz Pfister | - The government granted a reprieve to first time home buyers by extending the up to $8,000 tax credit until April 30, 2010. This will lead to more home sales, and the increased demand will support home prices.
The tax credit was expanded to include families that have owned their home five consecutive years within the preceding eight years to qualify for a $6,500 tax credit when they purchase another home by April 30, 2010.
The program is limited to single persons ea ...

- What Are We Reforming?
By: Donald Fishgrab | - A lady went into the hospital for a common type of surgery. It was successful, and she received the bill for some $20,000 in just a few days. Her insurance was an 80-20 co pay policy, meaning she is required to pay 20% or $4,000. She paid her balance in full and assumed that the insurance company would take care of the rest. Months later, she received another bill for the balance. She also discovered that her credit rating had been lowered due the unpaid hospital bill, resulting in a substa ...

- Welcome To Opposite World
By: Fritz Pfister | - Local Realtors in Springfield Illinois have posted the fifth consecutive month over month increase in the number of home sales June through October. Good news. Or is it? Has the local housing market returned to normal, or is it a false market driven by financial incentives provided by the government with your tax dollars?
Unemployment jumped in September in Springfield to 7.9% the highest in decades and about 3% higher than one year ago. This means we can rule out job expansion ad ...

- Confused About Health Care Reform? You're Not Alone.
By: Michale Simson | - I have received questions from many clients over the last several months asking about what health care reform means and what it will or will not do. Unfortunately, I myself have more questions than answers. Here are the questions I think we need to ask ourselves, and be able to answer, before deciding to either support, not support, or partially support Reform.

- Is Consumer-directed Healthcare The Solution To Insurance Costs?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The cost of health insurance has rocketed over the years. Many have cited the increased the use of health care services as a reason. As a result, any form of healthcare reform must reduce spending. Some people fear that a public option run by the government would lead to rationed care and negatively impact Americans' health. However, there are other ways to make health insurance less costly. Consumer-directed health care, often likened to high-deductible health plans, would control expenses by p ...

- Melrose Place And Med Schools: Cost Passed On To Health Insurance
By: Yamileth Medina | - While flipping channels, I came across an episode of the new Melrose Place series. Surprisingly, a plot line in the episode made me think about the cost of health care in America. One of the main characters, Lauren Bishop, is a student in medical school. She is dedicated to medicine and excels in her classes, but financial strife jeopardizes her education. This is an all-too-common scenario in real life; crushing student loans and the lack of ability to pay have led to a shortage in primary care ...

- Insurance Companies: Flip-floppers On Health Care Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - One of the strangest aspects of this health care debate has been the role of insurers. Shortly after President Obama was sworn into office, the industry and it's lobbyists (through the group America's Health Care Plans) pledged to support healthcare reform. Even though it would cut into their profit margins, they were willing to compromise on important issues. This was a contrast from their successful torpedoing of the Clinton administration's health insurance reform plan in the 1990s. The gover ...

- How To Eliminate Waste In U.s. Health Care
By: Yamileth Medina | - Most people have a suspicion that a significant portion of healthcare costs in America are wasted. Now, a new report from Thomson Reuters has proven them right. Almost one-third of medical expenditures each year, up to $850 million, is wasted on things such as unnecessary care, disorganized paperwork, and fraud. Reducing these costs would have a significant impact on the cost of health insurance. There are fewer primary care physicians who must fill out more paperwork and hire more clerical help ...

- Hollywood Promotes Health Care Reform; Will It Work?
By: Yamileth Medina | - After months of debate over healthcare reform, celebrities have entered the fray.

Hollywood and progressive causes have gone hand-in-hand for decades, but this level of involvement during an election off-year is unusual.

- Health Care Proposals
By: Jamie Hanson | - Health insurance causes mixed feelings in the majority of Americans. While it can literally save a life during serious injury or illness, it can also be a source of extreme stress and frustration when certain treatments aren't covered or co-payments are unaffordable. The problem has reached epic proportions over the past few decades as spending on health care has spiraled out of control. Many Americans pay hefty premiums each month while many others can't afford the premiums at all and simply ch ...

- Universal Health Care - Ethical Issues In Health Care Reform
By: Beverly OMalley | - Universal health care seems to be a hotly debated topic whenever health care reform in the United States is discussed.
Those who maintain that health is an individual responsibility do not want a system that requires them to contribute tax dollars to support fellow citizens who do not act responsibly in protecting or promoting their own health. They argue that they want the freedom to choose their own physicians and treatments, and suggest that government cannot know what is best ...

- Obama Health Care Plan
By: Jamie Hanson | - The American health insurance scene desperately needs reform. In a nation where over 15% of the population were without health insurance in 2008 and 16% of the gross domestic product is spent on health care, everyone agrees that change is necessary. The nature of that change, however, is up for debate. Those on the left advocate a single-payer approach that would cover all Americans, while those on the right champion private options such as health savings accounts and competition among health ca ...

- Revise Stimulus Plan For Economic Recovery
By: Fritz Pfister | - The stimuls bill passed seven months ago contained an $8,000 tax credit limited to first time home buyers. At the time many believed it would have the impact of taking a knife to a gun fight. They were wrong. The tax credit combined with historically low interest rates turned out to be the driving force to stem decline within the housing market.
What happens when the tax credit expires on December 1? What happens when inflation takes hold and interest rates are hiked?

- Why The Us Needs A Public Option For Health Care
By: Jake Topp | - The United States' health care system currently ranks #37 in the world. The US is #50 in life expectancy. The only thing that the US ranks #1 at is how much money the country spends on health care!
