Bosses skimp on health coverage
With the Affordable Care Act coming next year, there will be requirements for employers with 50 or more people to provide health insurance or face fines.

Why life insurance is a smarter bet than a lottery ticket
You can't beat the return on investment the Powerball jackpot winner got recently -- $590.5 million on a $2 lottery ticket. But if you're really serious about leveraging dollars for your family, life insurance is a smarter bet than the lottery. Both are built around the leveraging concept, says Jim ...
'Unbanked' to equal uninsured?

Doctor who was strong patient advocate sues insurance company
A Los Angeles doctor who sued an insurance company for not approving needed services for patients has won in court. Dr. Jeff Nordella alleges he was banned by Anthem Blue Cross when he applied to be a preferred provider because he was a nuisance for prior insurers. What did he ...
Chain dentist offices are affordable, but what about quality of care?
Dentistry is undergoing changes that will bring both positives and challenges to the marketplace for years to come. One trend that looks set to shape the future is the rise of chain dentistry practices. I read a story in The Detroit Free Press about Great Expression Dental Centers as just ...

It's distressing to me how few people with young kids have life insurance. The problem is the insurance that's best for people with dependents is not touted by the industry as a general rule. Stay-at-home spouses have a special need for life insurance. A new survey from Salary.com finds the ...
