With the costs of health coverage continuing to skyrocket, Massachusetts has come to a crisis with respect to its health care system. As a result of increased costs, and difficulty for many high risk groups to maintain insurance, a statewide change is now coming into effect that will ensure that everyone has insurance.

According to this report by the New York Times, there is a significant portion of ex-americans who have renounced their citizenship because of stiff tax penalties (Don’t ask them to confirm that though.). This is another clear example of economics in action. People who live abroad presumably do so because they prefer to live there rather than in the united states. In some cases, I am sure that it is due to a family or a relationship issue. However, in the cases that it is not strictly a relationship issue, there is likely some monetary reason that these people live outside of the United States even though they are US citizens.

According to a recent article on MSN Moneycentral, Archer Medical Savings Accounts are now, as it stands, going to be removed from the list of allowable deductions in the upcoming tax season. Of course, there is still time for things to change, but as this article about Archer Medical Savings Accounts explains, there is only a certain amount of time left until the deduction is gone.
What Is an Archer Medical Savings Account?
Before reading this article, I was not sure what exactly an Archer Medical Savings Account was and what the reason was for it existing in the first place. Archer Medical Savings accounts are the compliment to the High-Deductible Insurance Plans that have become so prevalent.

In most cases it’s not a good idea to prematurely withdraw money from your IRA before your retirement age. In addition to owing tax that might be due on the money to the Internal Revenue Service, you’ll face a 10 percent penalty charge on the amount.
