It's state law. In Arizona, they don't have to cover pre-existing conditions. It sucks for some people, but the rates are so much lower. I pay 96/month. I priced a similar plan in NY and it runs about 300/month. You can see for yourself at https://www.ehealthinsurance.com My zip code is...

Here in Arizona, I pay about $100/month. I checked how much similar coverage would cost me in NY and it was $300 month.

I can't believe I am the only person with an IRA account and a second user....

Weird. I was up 22.6% in November. I thought it was a great month to trade.

How much will the market go up while you wait for it to go down?

The future is not the same as cash. A 30-year bond future actually acts more like a 15-year bond (but not exactly) because the cheapest to deliver bond is about 15 years from maturity (this is true when interest rates are under 6%). Here's the equation I used in Excel...

I am confused. In 1992, Clinton defeated Bush in the Presidential election. The Democrats kept majority control of both the House (258-176) and Senate (57-43), though Republicans did pick up 9 House seats. You probably mean 1994, but even then power was split between a Republican Congress...
