Seven options for saving money on health insurance
By REESE McFADDIN
Owner, Workplace Benefits
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
FEB.
15, 2010 -- As we all continue to look for ways to put more money
back in our pocket - reducing interest, cutting out that extra latte
or knocking a few channels off our cable bill -- there's one place
most people just don't think to look: their health insurance.

McFaddin
|
But
amazingly, by taking the time to review your plan and consider the
fact that your employer's plan may not be the most cost effective
or the best plan for your needs, you could save hundreds, sometimes
thousands of dollars every year.
Every
day I work with individuals and businesses to help them understand
what they need from their health insurance and evaluate all the
major plans in the state to see what's the right choice for them.
Think about what you need out of a plan. Do you have young children
who need to go to the doctor often and get immunizations? Are you
married? How is your health? Are you planning to have children?
All of these factors can greatly affect what type of plan you need.
Here
are some options I recommend to my clients frequently that they
often don't realize can save them money and sometimes get them better
coverage.
- Consider
individual plans for spouses. Having your spouse on your company
policy is not always the most cost-effective choice. You could
save thousands of dollars in premiums by putting your spouse on
an individual plan, especially if one of you is a female of childbearing
age.
- Consider
individual plans for kids.
Planning to have a baby in 2010? There are individual policies
designed specifically for children, with affordable premiums and
benefits tailored to their needs. These policies usually have
low co-pays for well visits and typically cover immunizations.
- Trust
your instincts. If you feel like your premiums are too high
in your current corporate policy, you're probably right. If you're
healthy, pursuing an individual policy outside your employer may
save you money.
- Health
Savings Accounts (HSA).
If you have a high-deductible plan, you can set up an HSA, which
can be an easy way to save your medical dollars and add to your
tax deductions at the end of the year. They allow you to put aside
money, tax free, in a special account that can only be used for
medical expenses.
- COBRA
vs. other plans.
If you're leaving your employer, COBRA is usually a very expensive
option. If you're healthy, consider a high-deductible health plan,
which lowers your premiums, coupled with a health savings account.
-
Consider an independent individual plan outside your company.
Several of my clients have saved hundreds of dollars a month simply
by taking themselves off of their company plan and finding a different
alternative that provides better coverage while putting more money
in their pocket. Remember, employers are looking out for their
bottom line, too, so their plans may not be the best options for
everyone.
The
best advice I can give someone looking for additional savings on
his or her health insurance is to shop around and make informed
decisions. This is no different than picking the right computer
for your family. One computer - and one plan - does not fit all.
Research your options or find someone who can help you sort through
all the insurance mumbo jumbo to find a sensible plan for your needs
and, hopefully, save money at the same time.

A
snow storm (of criticism) for school district Einsteins
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
FEB.
15, 2010 - Hats off to the Einsteins at the Charleston County School
District who closed schools an hour early Friday to deal with inclement
rain.

Brack
|
Yes,
it's obvious the school district's leaders wanted to take precautions
to avoid possible problems from an evening snow that eventually
brought two to four inches to the Lowcountry. But come on, didn't
they go just a little overboard? Did having one hour less at school
make any real difference?
When
news came late Friday morning that county schools would close at
2 p.m., a quick check of The Weather Channel's hour-by-hour forecast
on the Internet showed that our area would have rain and 45 degree
temperatures at the normal school closing time of around 3 p.m.
In
other words, even if it had been snowing a little -- and the forecast
called for rain -- it still was going to be warm enough to keep
anything from sticking to the roadways.
So
all the falderal over closing the schools early was pure nonsense.
It was the kind of decision that gives Southerners and winter weather
a bad reputation. No wonder people make fun of us driving in icy
conditions if we close schools at the drop of a hat. Let's hope
Jon Stewart doesn't get hold of this mastermind pronouncement.
Seriously,
these kind of decisions have ripple effects across the community.
When the county schools close early, other organizations follow
suit. Why? Because they tie their closure policies to the school
policy. And that means many parents have to adjust their work days
to deal with the kids - which is fine, if there is a problem. But
rain and the threat of snow later in the evening?
Tip
for the school district: Check The Weather Channel's hour-by-hour
forecast in the future. If there's not going to be anything frozen
out on the roads at 3 p.m., do everyone a favor and suck it up a
little bit instead of wigging out.
*

The
wintry weather in Charleston was loads of fun for kids. We heard
peals of laughter and joy outside our windows late Friday. By Saturday
morning, snowmen - whole snow families -- dotted the Lowcountryside.
Later in the day, much of the snow had melted away, leaving the
stubs of snow families in yards around local communities.
While
our time with snow was a minor inconvenience, just think of what's
been happening in the nation's capital. A sister who lives there
reports there's been more than 50 inches of snow this season. Over
the last week, she's been socked in at her home near the U.S. Capitol.
Most businesses and government offices closed for much of last week,
leading snowbound residents to do everything from those projects
that have been waiting for a long time to going stir crazy.
This
weekend's snowy blustering reminds us that it's fine to taste what
the rest of the country deals with annually. But a taste is just
enough. One of the main reasons we live here is our temperate winter
climate. Another: To ensure the survival of the mosquito in our
sticky summers.

FEEDBACK
Some
people forget Sanfords are 'a broken family'
To
the editor:
Good
article on Sanford this morning. People are so quick to criticize
and I think they forget that this is still a broken family involving
real human beings!

Sanfords
shouldn't just go away; no one has to buy book
To
the editor:
The
Sanfords are not going away, and as far as I'm concerned, neither
of them should. They are each human, going through tough issues
of life as we all are. Just because something is not pretty doesn't
mean we pretend it's not there. If writing
the book helps in Mrs. Sanford's healing, the boys' healing
or anyone else's healing for that matter, GREAT! If it's just fun
for someone to read, GREAT! If the book gives people jobs and fuels
the economy, GREAT! If people are not interested, just don't buy
the book. Thanks for the article.

With
debt paid, aquarium makes plans for anniversary year
The
South Carolina Aquarium has paid off what remained of its debt,
just in time to make this year's 10th anniversary celebration even
sweeter. The facility opened in May 2000 with a total debt of $11.75
million. Officials announced Friday that over the course of the
past decade, 50 percent of the debt payments had been paid through
profitable business operations and the other 50 percent through
private donations. Twenty-two percent, or $1.3 million, of the total
amount provided by private donations came from the Spaulding Paolozzi
Foundation.
Aquarium
officials also reported that attendance was up 11.5 percent last
year, even in the face of the economic downturn. The Charleston
Metro Chamber of Commerce estimates the aquarium's annual economic
impact at $153 million, and the attraction sustains 2,100 local
jobs.
Through
debt relief, aquarium executives say, the facility will be in a
position to invest in additional programs and benefits for guests.
An albino alligator - one of fewer than 50 in the world - will be
on exhibit beginning March 20, and a 4-D theater is expected to
open later this year. Throughout 2010, original exhibits will be
enhanced. For example, the Carolina Seas exhibit just finished a
complete renovation, including refurbishing to the coral and new
species within the tank.
Educational
programs for children will continue to be a focus; to date, nearly
90,000 school kids have enjoyed the aquarium's free Structured School
Programs, and all South Carolina teachers get free admission. In
addition, the aquarium recently invested in a new program, Aquarium
Rovers, which allows the facility's experts to take animals such
as boa constrictors and penguins into local classrooms.
The
facility's focus on conservation will be further strengthened, officials
said, with on-site educational classes as well as business practices
that include extensive recycling and the use of biodiesel to run
the aquarium's generator.

Volunteers
needed for Festival of Houses and Gardens
The
Historic Charleston Foundation is looking for volunteers to help
with its 63rd Annual Spring Festival of Houses and Gardens, which
takes place March 18 through April 17. More than 600 people volunteer
each year for the event, which is the organization's largest fundraising
effort. The tours provide both visitors and volunteers with a rare
opportunity to explore the gardens and interiors of some of the
finest private homes in America.
Volunteers
can serve in several capacities, including docents (describing the
room to which they are assigned to visitors using information provided
by HCF), garden docents (describing gardens to guests), street marshals
(assisting visitors with directions to tour sites and general information
provided by HCF) and hosts and hostesses (pouring wine and lemonade
for visitors during the Glorious Gardens receptions).
Volunteers
should be able to attend one of these three training meetings: March
2, 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., Seacoast Church, Mount Pleasant; March
8, 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., John Wesley United Methodist Church,
West Ashley; or March 15, 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., the Charleston
Museum, downtown.
If
you'd like to volunteer, go
here to fill out an online form or find out how to get more
information.
United
Way tops $10 million in pledges despite recession
Trident
United Way had its 12th consecutive record-setting campaign in 2009,
raising $10,109,128 in pledges - an increase of $200,000 over the
previous year at a time when virtually every other United Way in
the nation saw their fundraising decline because of the ongoing
challenges of the economic downturn.
"The
more the need, the more our donors are looking to make charitable
investments that deliver high returns," said Christopher Kerrigan,
president and CEO of Trident United Way. "Our focus on education,
income and health has really reverberated with contributors."
Reaching
the fundraising goal is particularly noteworthy in a year when 13,000
more people are unemployed than in January of 2008. That translated
to about $1 million in lost pledges even before the campaign began.
The
largest overall campaign was at Santee Cooper. Under the leadership
of CEO Lonnie Carter, employee contributions and corporate gifts
added up to $560,000.
The
largest employee contributions came from Roper St. Francis Healthcare,
led by CEO David Dunlap, who is also the board chair for Trident
United Way. Employees at RSFH pledged $478,000. Employees of The
InterTech Group, led by CEO Anita Zucker, pledged the most per person,
at more than $4,000.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Bachman's
warbler
The
history of this small, brightly colored warbler (Vermivora bachmanii)
is closely tied to South Carolina. The species was discovered by
the Reverend John Bachman in 1832 on the Edisto River a few miles
north of Jacksonborough. In 1833 John J. Audubon painted a male
and named the species after his friend Bachman. The Bachman's warbler
is believed to be extinct. The last acceptable report was made in
1958, when John H. Dick photographed a male in Charleston County
near the original discovery site.
 |
Based
on historical collections, the Bachman's warbler is believed to
have once been common and widespread in the Southeast. The warbler
inhabited the edges or open interiors of swamps. Most of the few
nests that have been found were in thickets of cane and brambles.
Initially the species apparently benefited from the activities of
early settlers, both Indians and Europeans, who created suitable
openings in the forest. By 1900, however, the species had become
rare, perhaps due to extensive destruction of hardwood swamps for
agriculture. At the same time, large areas of the warbler's wintering
grounds in Cuba were destroyed for agriculture.
No
Bachman's warblers have been found on territory since 1961. Through
1978 at least six reports had been made from I'On Swamp, north of
Charleston. Despite extensive searches, none of these has been verified.
