American Families Can Stay Together and Keep Current Dental Plan Under Senate Approach to Essential Health Benefits

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:55:00 EST

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 20, 2009) - Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid's health reform bill fulfills the promise that more than 132 million Americans with family dental coverage can keep their current dental plan without disrupting established dentist-patient relationships, according to the National Association of Dental Plans.

The Senate bill, as released earlier this week, includes language offered by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (MI) and Blanche Lincoln (AR) that was adopted with unanimous, bipartisan support by the Senate Finance Committee. As a result, the bill takes a laudable step toward preserving the best aspects of how dental benefits are offered today, while also extending them to millions of uninsured children. It preserves access for all Americans -- those with and without dental benefits today -- to specialized dental coverage offered by experienced dental-focused carriers in the new health care exchanges, as well as in the private marketplace.

RT Brokerage Services Calls for an End to Mortgage Underwriters' "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:30:00 EST

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - November 20, 2009) - Advertising buyer commission rebates is central to the discount real estate brokerage's message, but properly accounting for them falls into a gray area. Most conventional mortgage lenders say they absolutely prohibit any kind of payment paid outside of closing, including real estate commission rebates. "Then how are these advertised rebate checks possible?" asks Louis Herrera, CEO of RT Brokerage Services.

"It took careful investigating, but we found the loophole," states Mr. Herrera. "Most underwriting happens far away from where a loan is initially submitted, so most underwriters have no idea whether brokerage A or brokerage B is a discount brokerage. Since the underwriters do not have a disclosure policy for buyer real estate commission rebates, they have no way of knowing whether a commission rebate is part of the transaction, and the borrower or brokerage has no obligation to disclose such a rebate."

Keiretsu Forum Continues to Fund Entrepreneurs During the Economic Downturn

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - November 18, 2009) - As the US struggles to move out of a major recession, funding for entrepreneurs has shrunk nationally. Yet even with the downturn, Keiretsu Forum continues to fund entrepreneurs and their emerging companies.
"I presented to Keiretsu this year (2009) and had good success raising money," says Wolfgang Daum, President and CEO of Boston Heartlab. "Keiretsu has an ordered and systematic investment approach. Venture Capitalists keep 2% of their fund as a management fee to maintain their operation. Angel groups don't have that luxury. They charge angels and presenting companies a fee to cover expenses. Keiretsu is not the only Angel group doing so, but it is one of the best structured in the country. I recommend Keiretsu and will return to them to raise further funds."

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - The Life Insurance Settlement Association announced the passage of a new law in New York that establishes comprehensive regulation of Life Settlements in that state. The new law introduced at the request of the New York State Insurance Department by Senator Neil Breslin (S66009) and Assemblyman Joseph Morelle (A40009), is based on the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) Life Settlement Model Act.
The New York life settlement act preserves the long-standing right of life insurance policyowners to sell their policies when they no longer can afford or otherwise keep them. As New York's highest court declared more than 100 years ago, life insurance policyowners may "go to the best market he can find, either to sell it or borrow money on it."

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - Cyber Monday -- the online version of Black Friday -- is just around the corner falling on November 30 this year. However, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF), holiday-related spending is expected to drop from last year by 3.2 percent. With the economy still in a slump, shoppers need to know how to take advantage of the savings available to them. The fact is, that with consumer spending down, retailers are forced to slash prices even more in order to drive sales -- which means bigger savings are attainable for those who know where to look.
