Health Care Cost Basics: What They Are and Ways to Save
09:30am, Friday, 11'th Feb 2022 Kiplinger
Putting aside money for emergencies, like replacing a roof or a major car repair, is one of the age-old mantras of personal finance. But today there’s one major potential expense that, until relatively recently, few working people rarely thought about: Paying for out-of-pocket medical costs. Why? Because until the past decade or so, most employer health care plans covered the majority of employees’ medical costs. Not anymore. The spiraling cost of health care has resulted in many employers shifting more of these expenses to employees. Monthly premiums for traditional health care plans that used to be fairly reasonable now may cost $600 per month or more. And most of these plans have annual deductibles — money you must pay out of pocket for medical expenses before the plan takes over most of the costs. SEE MORE 20 Ways to Save on Health Care Since most employees can’t afford these plans, many companies now also offer high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). How pervasive are these plans? In 2019 51% of all U.S. employees were enrolled in HDHPs.

The "Crapification" Of The US Economy Is Now Complete
03:00pm, Thursday, 10'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
The "Crapification" Of The US Economy Is Now Complete Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, The crapification of the U.S. economy is now complete. The only thing left is the tiresome waiting for the implosion of the entire travesty of a mockery of a sham. The U.S. economy has fundamentally changed, and not for the better. There are numerous dynamics behind this decay, and I''ll discuss a few of the more consequential ones this month. One consequential dynamic few mainstream pundits dare discuss is the "crapification" of the entire U.S. economy. That isn''t my description, "crapification" is now in common use. If the word offends you, substitute terminal decay of quality, competition, utility, durability, repairability and customer service . One aspect nobody seems to notice is the transformation from a society that once drew its identity from producing quality goods and services to a society that draws its identity from consuming crapified goods and services . Now that Americans define themselves by consuming, they are enslaved to consumption: to limit consumption is to disappear--and ''spending time" on social media is a form of consumption, even if no goods or services are purchased directly, as one''s attention / time are valuable commodities.
