knowing that medical expenses that occur throughout life will not deplete the savings account that have grown larger and larger as the years have passed by. The cost of health care insurance might seem high until someone in the family requires surgery and there is no plan in place to replace the lost income.

A health care insurance plan with a maternity rider or clause would provide insurance compensation on a normal delivery and provide for extended hospital stays if the child is premature, which at the current market rate is close to 56,000. All of the services performed by physicians after the birth can be covered under the plan as well as all medical care received by the Mother. While these medical expenses may be high, financial planners that work in the Government health care system have supplied some relief. The Internal Revenue Service could consider every dollar paid toward medical expenses for deductions on tax returns if the amount exceeds the medical expense limits in place. Deductions for medications are included in the tax plans, and families can make other financial plans for the refunds that come from filing income taxes each year.
Every investment decision could be affected by the current tax structure and by planning the purchase of stocks and bonds, and participation in mutual funds the financial expenditures through taxes can be lessened in many ways to allow people to retain more cash year after year. Timing is critical for payments into individual retirement accounts because these monies are tax free until they are withdrawn later in life and by planning for the payment of those taxes, a person will feel that they have a solid financial plan established for when they finally retire.
