47 million American's go to bed every night without health insurance while the health insurance industry is making billions of $ in profits. We spend almost 2x as much as any other industrialized nation for our health coverage (the majority of these costs go to administration not treatment) and we rank 37th in the world in overall health. By ending the inefficency of the current system we could cover every American for the same $ were spending now. We are the only country in the world where people go bankrupt because of health costs.

This is partially my fault, so I'm not going to try to cop out on this. Basically, I accidentally wrote a check out from an old bank to pay my rent, which is about $565, so the check bounced. That is my fault. I know there's a bounced check fee so, np. My mistake.

The problem is I just got notice of this from my Landlord today and while my apartment is only $565, they're tacking on an additional $170.40 for the days I was overdue. They never made any attempt to call me or send me any kind of notice that the check bounced until today.

I live in Nebraska, and while I've looked through the statutes I haven't found anything governing this. I have already decided to pay for my mistake plus the full amount they've calculated, but do I have any legal ground to stand on if I take them to court and recover damages for failing to provide notice and instead allowing me to rack up daily overdue charges?

Hi,
I am moving from Europe to Dallas soon, and I was wondering what would be better to rent a furnished or unfurnished home. We are taking about a 3/4 bedrooms house for my husband, our baby and myself. Do you know if there are good furnished houses for rent or should we go for unfurnished and bring all our furniture over?

Are there good clinics or hospitals in Tiajunna? Is it worth to travel to India or Canada for surgeries and health care? It seems impossible here and so outrageously expensive-we just neglect most of the care we need. Anyone had any success with treatments outside the US or advice that you can share?

Im a tenant in Melbourne, Australia.

I just got visited by the housing agent on the reason of inspection for property value. However, moments after the inspection I got a phone call from the agent that we have kept the apartment in a state worse than it was originally was. Worse part was that we felt the agent was not in a good tone towards us.

Our lease is 1 years and we have occupied for 2 and a half months only. Furthermore, we are students who are facing exams in a week and we have not cleaned around the place for maybe a month. Yet, we are not lazy or have poor hygiene.

Is it right in any sense on their part?

Lawfully, ethically and professionally.

If I bought a new car, and paid $2000 for an extended warranty, and I'm using the actual cost for deduction, can I deduct the entire amount of that? I know the max for the car itself is around $3000 deduction for the 1st year, but I wanted to know if the warranty counts as something separate that I can deduct completely the first year.

Hi..why is it so hard to find a job that works around your schedule? I don't need to work, my husband does a very nice job at providing for us but having a little extra around the holidays is always nice..but I can't work before 3 -4 through the week and everywhere i have applied that hurts me. I do have a interview for Sears on Monday but so far AAFES, best buy, petsmart, macy's, jcpenny all told me they need someone flexiable. So what is a person in college suppose to do? I mean i can't just quit that and i have kids and a husband. UGH. Do you think i am going to have any luck? Will anyone hire someone so limited?

Hello there!

I make 50K a year. My withholdings are set to S02 (2 dependents, myself basically. I'm single as well. On my most recent paystub, it says they've already withheld around 11K for the entire year so far. That's ridiculous as far as I can see it. My question is, how much money do you think I'll get back in April 08? Will I owe anything? I don't have any 1099's to report or anything like that. Thanks a lot!

is it worth it to get a credit card from buy.com to save 30 dollars. I have pretty good credit but i don't really use credit card so if i get it i wont use it and just end up cancelling it. i have no plans to make any big purchases so if my credit score drops a little bit its not a problem for me
