![]() A few expenses that may be medical-related but aren’t as of yet deductible, according to Uncle Sam, are: Elective cosmetic surgery. For help determining whether you could benefit, please contact us. The IRS updates the list of medical expense deductions quite frequently, from a tax perspective, so it’s important to know not only what is considered deductible, but what isn’t. Exploring the ConceptĪs mentioned, bunching doesn’t work for everyone. Controllable expenses might include prescription drugs, eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, dental work, and some types of elective surgery. If your total itemized deductions for 2019 will exceed your standard deduction, then bunching nonurgent medical procedures and other controllable expenses into 2019 may allow you to exceed the floor and benefit from the medical expense deduction. For 2019, it’s $12,200 for singles and married couples filing separately, $18,350 for heads of households, and $24,400 for married couples filing jointly. The TCJA nearly doubled the standard deduction. If your total itemized deductions won’t exceed your standard deduction, bunching medical expenses into 2019 won’t save you tax. Medical expenses that aren’t reimbursed by insurance or paid through a tax-advantaged account (such as a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account) may be deductible. However, beginning January 1, 2019, taxpayers may once again deduct only the amount of the unreimbursed allowable medical care expenses for the year that exceeds 10% of their AGI. The TCJA reduced the floor for the medical expense deduction for 20 from 10% to 7.5% of adjusted gross income (AGI). One example of a tax break with a floor is the medical expense deduction.īecause it can be difficult to exceed the floor, a common strategy is to “bunch” deductible expenses into one year where possible. Various limits apply to most tax deductions, and one type of limit is a “floor,” which means expenses are deductible only to the extent that they exceed that floor (typically a specific percentage of your income). At the same time, certain taxpayers who’ve benefited from the medical expense deduction in previous years might no longer benefit because of the TCJA’s increase to the standard deduction. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made bunching such expenses beneficial for some taxpayers. For example, in order to claim a medical expenses deduction if youre in the 200,000-250,000 AGI range, this means that you had unreimbursed medical expenses for the year in excess of 20,000. With proper planning, you may be able to time controllable medical expenses to your tax advantage. Patient channeling Patient choice Preferred providers Tiered networks.Some medical expenses may be tax deductible, but only if you itemize deductions and you have enough expenses to exceed the applicable floor for deductibility. The differential deductible did, therefore, not result in a financial benefit for patients with annual costs exceeding their total deductible. If your total medical expenses, including premiums, were 6,000 in total, youd. Unlike fixed cost-sharing differences, the deductible exemption was conditional on the patient's other medical expenses occurring in the policy year. Seven and a half percent of that amount is 3,750, so any qualified expenses exceeding that amount are deductible. The average cross-price elasticity of demand is found to be 0.02, indicating that patient responsiveness to the cost-sharing differential itself was low. Our results suggest that in this natural experiment designating preferred providers and waiving the deductible for enrollees using these providers significantly influenced patient choice. Using individual patients' choice data and information about their out-of-pocket payments covering the year of the experiment and 1 year before, we estimate a conditional logit model that explicitly controls for pre-existing patient preferences. This paper examines the effect of a differential deductible to steer patient provider choice in a Dutch regional market for varicose veins treatment. Empirical evidence whether differences in cost-sharing rates across providers affects patient choice behavior is, especially from Europe, limited. Health insurers may use financial incentives to encourage their enrollees to choose preferred providers for medical treatment.

Reopening our campuses will not be a simple binary, like an on/off light switch, but more like a dimmer in which we have the flexibility to scale backwards and forwards to properly respond as the health situation evolves. Throughout our planning, we have used the analogy of a dimmer switch. This schedule will limit the amount of back and forth travel for our students by concentrating the on-campus component of the fall semester to one consecutive segment. Due to our focus on minimizing risk, our undergraduate students will begin the first few weeks of the fall semester online and move onto the campus after the Jewish holidays. Throughout campus everyone will need to adhere to our medical guidelines, including social distancing, wearing facemasks, and our testing and contact tracing policies. Gatherings will be limited, larger courses will move completely online. Many aspects of campus life will change for this coming semester. In bringing our students back to campus, safety is our first priority. It also enables students who prefer to not be on campus to have a rich student experience by continuing their studies online and benefitting from a full range of online student services and extracurricular programs. It will allow many students to return in a careful way by incorporating online and virtual learning with on-campus classroom instruction. In concert with the recommendations from our task force, I am announcing today that our fall semester will reflect a hybrid model. I am deeply thankful to our task force members and all who supported them for their tireless work in addressing the myriad details involved in bringing students back to campus and restarting our educational enterprise. Their planning has been guided by the latest medical information, government directives, direct input from our rabbis, faculty and students, and best practices from industry and university leaders across the country. To develop our plans for the fall, we have convened a Scenario Planning Task Force made up of representatives across the major areas of our campus. Our students will be able to work through the difficulties, issues and opportunities posed by our COVID-19 era with our stellar rabbis and faculty, as well as their close friends and peers at Yeshiva. As such, we have developed an educational plan for next year that features a high-quality student experience and prioritizes personal growth during this Coronavirus era. This is the kind of teachable moment that Yeshiva University was made for. ![]() Character is formed and developed in times of deep adversity. Next year’s studies will be especially instrumental in shaping the course of our students’ lives. The mission of Yeshiva University is to enrich the moral, intellectual and spiritual development of each of our students, empowering them with the knowledge and abilities to become people of impact and leaders of tomorrow. ![]() But in its very difference rests its enormous power. We will live differently, work differently and learn differently. In form and in content, this coming semester will be like no other.

I have every intention of being a "secured" traveler on my first trip back to Italy and France in over 25 years, but I am becoming overwhelmed by all the tales on this forum of thieves feeling about inside even zippered and velcroed interior pockets, slashing bags with knives (although nothing of monetary value inside) or, as in Paris, of slicing a woman's neck while trying to steal her neck-hanging money belt. and Canada, plus one trip to Hong Kong.I have never been pickpocketed during any of those travels. I have made over 35 trips to Ireland and England, with only one trip to the continent back in the 70s, and have traveled extensively in the U.S. And I am not going to stuff a wallet full of paper and parade about the Paris Metro system trying to attract a thief in order to find out. It might if the would be thief picked the wrong side of the pocket to look for the zipper. One friend of mine who is extremely street smart said that the zipper would not hold up a real expert. I have never had an expert tell me if a zippered back pocket was a deterrant or not. I do not know if it was the skinny feel of my billfold or the fact that it was in a zippered pocket that foiled him. In my case in Paris, even if the thief had been successful in lifting my billfold, he would have gotten an old piece of leather, $7.00 US, and my voter registration card. There are ways to conceal your passport, airline ticket, and credit cards. ![]() I have been stopped because I had keys and coins in my pocket. I also doubt very much if you could get a pistol through airport security. As for a knife, those guys probably have bigger ones and know how to use them. You could easily wind up in more trouble because of the weapon than the thief, if you pulled out a pistol and tried to use it. The European cops don't take lightly to smuggled firearms. Nor does it exclude some of the vandalizing behavior that you encounter from time to time on the Paris Metro.Īs for toting a concealed weapon, I don't suggest it. Now this does not rule out some of the clumsy attempts to rip or cut a pack off of you and run. I learned that the guy had fingered my pocket only when another passenger on the Metro train asked me, in English, if everything was still in my pockets. I never felt a thing other than the fact that the fellow bumped into me as I entered the car while he was pretending to read the route map posted above the door. Fed Up that if his pocket is picked sucessfully, he probably will not know it until well after the fact. Having been the target of a pick pocket in Paris, I would can assure Mr. Good Afternoon or Morning as the case may be. On the flip side of that, complacency about it will greatly increase your risk. Sjoerd is right: it is not a "constant harrassment". That said, the odds are such that even most lazy, stupid and ignorant people probably get through their trip without being robbed. You CAN and SHOULD protect yourself with good-sense precautions. ![]() If you don't want someone digging in your bag, don't carry a bag. Forewarned is forearmed, but as for carrying a weapon, FedUp? Horrible idea. Many travelers relish the opportunity to interact with "the locals" and that affinity is a characteristic that will sometimes be incorporated into the set-up. ![]() Some of them have more creative, interesting techniques to engage you. Keep in mind that pickpockets and thieves are not necessarily just a bunch of mindless thugs. It was obvious to me that he had accomplices outside the station and he needed to get me to a particular location to complete the job. Since the few valuables I had were secured like Fort Knox anyway, I played the situation out for nearly 10 minutes, just to gain some insight (business must have been slow for him that day). After hearing about a rather infamous area at the Brussels Midi station from a local where thefts are rampant, I had the opportunity to "case" a particular young gentleman who was trying his his best to engage me in a situation that was quite obviously a set-up. Take precautions, be alert and if you spot someone sizing you up, your demeanor can send a big message. There is pickpocketing and then there is mugging. There are stories on this board about people "fighting back", but many cases, pickpocketing is more a crime of stealth than an actual confrontation with someone. That said, I think that to say ONLY lazy, stupid or ignorant people become victims may be going a bit far. Sjoerd, you don't think you're coming down just a LITTLE hard on our poster here, do you? I agree that being naive is "asking for it" and a little bit of street smartness goes a long way toward preventing - all but eliminating - this type of crime.

The Grammy-winning “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” was a country chart-topper and Number Two pop monster, followed by two more Top 20 pop singles and a total of 18 country Number Ones. But I love those songs.” Her earliest singles only dented the charts, but in the late Seventies and early Eighties, Gayle hit her stride. I wouldn’t have made it if I had just done that. “I went middle-of-the-road because Loretta said, ‘Don’t sing my songs and don’t sing anything I would sing, because you’ll be compared,'” Gayle told Rolling Stone in 2014. Image Credit: Tim Mosenfelder/ImageDirectīrenda Gail Webb, unlike her Kentucky-born older sister Loretta Lynn, was raised in Indiana, cultivating a polished persona and singing style tailor-made for country-pop crossover.

Despite all the flag-waving, Keith isn’t a one-note artist. Striking a defiant tone, the song and its “boot up your ass” hook became synonymous with Keith, who released a string of pro-America songs in the years following: “American Soldier,” “American Ride” and “Made in America,” all of which topped the charts. Keith has released 17 studio albums, sold more than 40 million copies and tallied 20 Number Ones hits to date – including “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American),” which was written in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. With a booming voice and roughneck persona, he’s gone on to become one of the most successful, recognizable and controversial artists in the modern country era. Key Tracks: “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”Īn Oklahoma native and former oil-rig worker, Toby Keith has tapped into the blue-collar lifestyle with humor and sincerity since his debut single, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” hit Number One in 1993. His influence on country music remains apparent – decades after its release, “Country Roads” was the backbone of 2016’s “Forever Country,” a mash-up celebrating the CMA Awards’ 50th anniversary. But Denver, with his goofy grin and aHis fans didn’t mind, either, and by the decade’s end, Denver had racked up nine Number One hits on multiple charts. When Denver was named Entertainer of the Year by the CMA in 1975, presenter Charlie Rich responded by setting fire to the envelope containing Denver’s name, which many viewers interpreted as a repudiation of country’s pop-friendly crossover. The man had vices, but he largely kept them out of his songs, choosing instead to glorify the great outdoors in hits like “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Uncool? Perhaps. Hitting his streak during the war-torn 1970s, John Denver kept things peppy and pleasant, walking the family-friendly line between country, soft folk and easy listening. “Here’s the thing about history,” Vince Gill told Rolling Stone in 2014, “the greatest artists that had the greatest longevity were all original.” Some of the contemporary artists we included – all of them already trailblazers – also benefited from our speculation that their best work may in fact be ahead of them.īut in the end, the common denominator for both legends and today’s stars was that they are all one-of-a-kind. And we omitted both Elvis Presley and Ray Charles, whose admittedly important contributions to country music took a backseat to their work in rock & roll and soul.įor those who made the cut, we considered their lasting impact on the genre, their recorded output and even their legacy as an entertainer. We respectfully skipped past Chet Atkins, who, though an architect of the Nashville Sound and a solo artist, was chiefly a sideman and producer. We didn’t include those who were primarily songwriters, like Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard. Of course, while 100 artists is a lengthy list, there isn’t room for everyone. ![]() ![]() Likewise, we reevaluated exactly where Hank Williams fits into country music, the true influence of Merle Haggard, and if an artist as clearly in the pop realm as Taylor Swift deserves inclusion. For decades Citizen Kane topped nearly every list as the greatest film ever made, but with time, some started to realize that, hey, just maybe The Godfather is the better picture. ![]() When putting together this ranking of country music’s all-time greats, we looked to movie criticism for inspiration. |
