THURSDAY, Oct. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Both presidential candidates want to make health insurance available to more Americans, but each has proposed a vastly different route to reform, a new report shows.
Health-care reform is high on the national agenda, with 116 million adults either uninsured, underinsured, experiencing a problem with medical bills, or denying themselves needed care due to cost considerations.

With divorce so common and with women earning more than ever (still not equal but working towards it!) I wonder if anyone has signed a pre-nuptual agreement? Would you find the idea insulting and a bad way to start a marriage or is it simply a smart move, in this day and age?
It's not just men asking women to sign anymore and pre-nups are not just for 'rich' people. If you have your own money and property, would you ask your fiance to sign one?

I am wondering if any of the stay at home parents here have their own retiremen accounts (IRA)?
I know we tend to think of this as something a working person would need, and these accounts are usually connected to an employer but at-home folks need them too.
How would one go about doing this?

I wrote recently about a 50-something wife and mother who committed suicide the day her house foreclosed.
Fast forward to a CNN article about men and women who cheat on each other with their checkbooks.
“Call it secret spending, checkbook cheating or financial infidelity -- plenty of Americans are guilty of it.
Twenty nine percent of people in a committed relationship admitted to lying to their partner about their spending habits, according to a Harris Interactive survey of 1,796 people ages 25-55.

One of my favorite Queen songs is Who Wants to Live Forever? I am not sure I do.
So I know I won't live forever, anyway, but I see so many headlines these days about how to lengthen our lives, and captions like "you too can live to be 120!" with a picture of some cute, smiling little old lady in a French nursing home underneath.
But I have a question. Two, in fact. One, do I actually want to live that long, and two, can I afford to?
