The Best Kept Secret is Out of the Bag – Your cash value is guaranteed in the unlikely event that your annuity company can’t pay the claim.
OK, here’s an observational quiz: What’s the one most visible sign posted in banks everywhere? And no, I don’t mean the “We Think Your Money is Our Money” sign, or the one that says, “If You Don’t Need Money, We’ll Loan It to You”.
Answer: “FDIC Insured”. It’s everywhere. On the doors, on the table where you make out your deposit ticket, next to the Tellers. I heard that one bank even staples it to the Tellers’ foreheads. You think?
So, did you know that the Insurance/Annuity Industry also has guarantees on its cash values? You didn’t? Why not?
Because we were not allowed to tell you about the Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (FLHIGA) until July 1, 2010. Since it is now after July 1, 2010, I can tell you, sort of. Actually, I still can’t tell you this unless you ask me. All I am doing today is telling you that a law was just passed that allows us to tell you this – if you ask.
If you wonder why we had to keep this secret, maybe you should look at the lobbying power of our beloved and trusted banking industry. Now they can’t hide behind the idea that they are the only “safe” place to put your money, as they offer you their absurdly low rates.
This foolishness is kind of the banking lobby forcing a “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell Policy” on their competitors.
But, if you do ask, I can tell you that, with new rules that are also part of this law, the FLHIGA will guarantee cash values on Annuity Contracts up to $250,000. But, remember, I can only tell you if you are curious as to the safety of your Nest Egg. If you don’t care, if you don’t ask, you’ll just have to wonder. I can’t tell you.
Now the cat is out of the bag. I tell you about it. If you ask me.

The Health “Reform” Act is a take-over of 15% of our economy. It can’t be done overnight. It phases in over the next 4 years, with most of the “budget buster” provisions in latter years. That’s to make the numbers “work”, as if an extra $1 trillion in our budget “works”. But here are some dates for parts of the Act to kick in.
In 2010
1. The $250 Medicare Part D Donut Hole Rebate is paid to some, which is to help them to cover some of the $4,000+ “hole” in coverage.
2. No more lifetime coverage restrictions, where only a certain amount will be paid by the insurance company over a lifetime for claims.
3. A national High Risk Pool is to be set up to cover those who could not otherwise get coverage.
4. You can cover your kid up to age 26.
5. Tax credits available to businesses with fewer than 25 employees that will pay for their health insurance.
In 2011
1. The “CLASS Act” is to begin taking in Long Term Care premiums. Maybe.
2. A surcharge will kick in for Medicare Part B, costing us more.
3. Medicare will pay for some preventive care services.
4. A 50% discount starts for some drugs under Part B coverage.
5. Health Savings Accounts and Advantage to lose key benefits.
In 2013
1. Part D Donut Hole begins to close.
2. Tax increase in the form of increasing from 7.5% to 10% of AGI, the limit over which we can deduct unreimbursed medical expense.
3. Higher income taxpayers pay 2.35% (up from 1.45%) Medicare tax and a 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income.
In 2014
1. Coverage required for everyone, or face a fine (Hello, IRS)
2. Insurers must accept ALL applicants, dispite disability, illness & medical history.Will this put insurers out of the business?
3. A 15-member Independent Payment Advisory Board starts recommending ways to reduce Medicare spending. Rationing?
4. Goodbye Medicare Advantage Plans, as the law demands that companies must use 85% of premiums to pay claims. This is a not-so-subtle form of price controls, which only succeed in putting businesses out of business.
As Bette Davis once said, “Put on your seat belt, boys, it’s going to be a rough ride.”

When shopping for an assisted living community for your loved one, sticker shock is a common condition. But is it true that assisted living costs more than living at home?
The true value of living in an assisted living community is quality of life. Not only is assisted living financially equal to living at home, it’s such a dramatically different way of life. Most people underestimate how much money they spend on food each month, and forget about all the miscellaneous expenses that crop up. Mentally, they simply add up rent or the mortgage and utilities, guess on how much they spend on eating, and come up with a figure that’s not accurate.
Assisted living costs include all basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, and food, but also include 24-hour security services, housekeeping, health monitoring services, lawn care, property taxes and insurance, trash removal, repairs and maintenance, and the most frequent things people forget to include—social activities and entertainment.
In fact, many seniors living at home cut back on entertainment as a way to save money.
With a senior living at home, the monthly budget usually has a blank space next to social and entertainment. Look at what your mom or dad are spending on socialization and entertainment—nothing—and that’s not a good thing.
Those senior social activities are important for all seniors to keep them physically and mentally sharp, and are the difference between surviving and thriving. But they may be especially important for many women whose retirement isn’t very relaxing because their workload actually increases with their retired husbands or partners at home all the time.
Sons and daughters need to take a hard look at their parents’ current lifestyle: “Do both people get to retire in this house? How did mom’s life change when Dad retired? Did it get better or did it get worse? We’re still dealing with an age group where moms didn’t get to retire, so we’re dealing with quality of life.”
After dealing with the initial sticker shock and touring an assisted living facility, most clients change their minds and realize assisted living is a great value.
These are the golden years, but they aren’t always so golden. At an assisted living community, people can have a quality of life where other people cater to them so they can enjoy life.
