TODAY'S FOCUS
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!

-- Tina Arnoldi, Mount Pleasant, SC

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.

-- Tina Newton, Mount Pleasant, SC

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.

SC 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.
