What is the fate of the U.S. healthcare?
/by Rebecca YatesIn the upcoming months, we can expect to hear what Donald Trump has in store for the Affordable Healthcare Act. During his campaigning, Trump made it known that a change was definitely part of his agenda as President. The policies that Trump is proposing will require extensive changes to the current U.S. regulatory and legal structure as well as to the tax law. The employer mandate and taxes on plans and insurers are what make the Affordable Health Care Act accessible, especially for those with lower incomes. A change in this structure makes funding unclear.
Appealing the Affordable Health Care act will not be an easy task as more than 20 million people have gained health insurance over the last three years due to the Affordable Health Care Act. In addition, folks on both sides on the political table like certain aspects of the Affordable Health Care Act, like the provisions regarding preexisting conditions, coverage for dependents up to age 26 and preventive care. Republicans have yet to propose an actual replacement for the Affordable Health Care Act which in turn could leave millions of people without coverage.
As of October, exchanges saw an increase of 22% on average. Utah’s average was 30%, because the rates in Utah have historically been lower than across the nation. In addition, several large insurers existed the exchanges.
Rest assured, any changes will take time to implement. The new President-elect will face many challenges repealing a policy that has insured millions.

Budgeting for Home Repairs
/by Rebecca YatesHomebuyers know there are a lot of expenses that come along with home ownership. They plan for things like a monthly mortgage, homeowners and insurance and property taxes. However, homeowners should also plan a budget for home repairs, as they always seem to come up when you least expect it.
Older Homes- older homes were not built with the same detail as homes are built today. Often times, there are hidden problems that may lead to other problems. Especially, if the roof is old or not in great shape. For example, a roofline leak could lead to interior damage throughout the house. Experts say people should set aside $1 per square foot of their home to plan for these repairs.
Newer Homes- If your home is only 10-20 years old, experts recommend saving $10,000 a year for home repairs. Big-ticket repairs typically occur around this age of a home and often haven’t been serviced or repaired since the home was built. Think hot water heaters, roofs, windows may need updating etc. A good rule of thumb is having some money stashed for smaller repairs like leaky faucets too, that way you will always be prepared when something goes south.
Regardless of the age and condition of your home, having the right home insurance is vital. Be sure to check your coverage limits each year to ensure you still have the coverage you need.
