I thought that would only apply to Short Term Disability? LTD doesn’t pay for maternity leave does it? Is the simple risk of complications of child birth enough to make LTD premiums higher?

Actually Women pay more for Long Term Disability as well. As you might expect Child Bearing years have a lot to do with this as well.

I like the first section taking Keynesian economics to task. It was a great theory that has been fine-tuned and honed and winnowed over the decades but still comes down to three simple principles that even Keynes himself really did not approve of:

1) Debt is OK as long as you can keep spending.
2) The Government is a better arbiter of economics than the market.
3) It’s not OK to have a recession.

Neither of these are true original Keynesian principles yet they have been responsible for most of the financial risk we now face. See what Alan Greenspan had to say about it:

Speech to Federal Reserve Board, Feb. 2005

And Wikipedia’s article is OK, as well.

Having had a grandmother completely debilitated with Rheumatoid Arthritis, this is a big topic for me. The medicine has actually come along way since she passed away, but there’s still a long way to go.

Keep us posted, Tracie.
