Demand for electricity has exploded over the past several years, and nowhere more so than at Arizona Public Service Company. Grid hardening, storage solutions, flexible rates, transmission projects, federal investments — all of these are part of the solution to make the grid ready for escalating demand. Yet progress needs to be scalable and affordable to meet the needs in the west and across the country. Listen in as Jeff Guldner, the leader of APS, and Philip Moeller, Executive VP at Edison Electric Institute, talk about the whole toolkit, from new market structures to successful DER programs.

The country is still struggling with stubbornly high inflation. Among the groups most affected are older and retired Americans who rely on fixed incomes, including Social Security.   But relief is on the way. Americans who receive Social Security payments are slated to receive an 8.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment starting January 2023, the biggest increase in benefits since 1981. The boost is tied to inflation and will average about $140 per month. MPR News host Angela Davis talks about the payment increase and the history and future of Social Security.   For a better understanding of Social Security, Medicare and other benefits you can contact Minnesota's Senior LinkAge Line at (800) 333-2433.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Elliot Raphaelson discuss:  Making sure you get your full benefits  Eligibility in Medicare  Getting educated through books, experts, and classes The good and the bad of I Bonds    Key Takeaways:  Turning 65 doesn't automatically mean that you'll get your full benefits. You have to verify what your full retirement age is and plan accordingly.  Age 65 is the point at which you are eligible for Medicare. You'll get Part A at no cost. You'll get Part A at no cost. If you work the sufficient amount under Social Security, you'll automatically get Part A at no cost. Part B, which involves medical expenses, is not automatic. That means you have to pay for that.  Education is the best way to get the most benefits and the least problems. Read books, listen to experts, or try to attend classes that deal with finance topics you might be interested in. Do your own research, and don't get swayed by the media.  I bonds are a great way to earn interest on your money in inflationary times. However, you must consider the three disadvantages. First, you can only put a maximum of $10,000. Second, you have to hold it for at least one year, or else you'll lose three months' interest. Third, you can't put it in an IRA.    "I think it's important that people invest from a long-term perspective, and they need a diversified portfolio; you don't want to have all of your eggs in one basket. If you're young, start investing early." —  Elliot Raphaelson.   Resources:  Medicare and You: https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Outreach/Partnerships/MY  “Get What's Yours for Health Care” by Philip Moeller: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Whats-Yours-Health-Care/dp/1982134259  “How to Make Your Money Last” by Jane Bryant Quinn: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Money-Last-Indispensable/dp/1982115831  “The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb” by Ed Slott: https://www.irahelp.com/  “The Truth About Crypto” by Ric Edelman: https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-Crypto-Easy-Understand/dp/1668002329  “Retirement Planning Guidebook” by Wade Pfau: https://www.amazon.com/Retirement-Planning-Guidebook-Navigating-Important/dp/194564009X  Purchasing I Bonds: https://treasurydirect.gov/      Connect with Elliot Raphaelson: Articles, “The Savings Game”: https://tribunecontentagency.com/premium-content/business/personal-finance/the-savings-game/  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Elliot-Raphaelson/e/B001KE4AM4%3F      Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator! 

This week on the podcast, we take a wide-ranging look at important changes going on in Medicare. My guest is a top expert on the program - Phillip Moeller. Phil is an award-winning financial journalist and author who has studied both Medicare and Social Security very closely. He’s the co-author of one of the best books on Social Security, called Get What's Yours - The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security. And he is the sole author of two other volumes in the Get What’s Yours series, including Get What's Yours for Medicare: Maximize Your Coverage, Minimize Your Costs. Phil also writes an excellent newsletter on Substack, the same platform that I use to bring you my newsletter and podcast. I talked with Phil about an important set of changes to the Medicare Part D prescription drug program that Congress seems about ready to approve. We should have news about the legislation by the end of this week, or perhaps over the weekend, and if it does become law, I’ll be writing more about it. The bill would allow Medicare - for the first time - to negotiate the prices of the most expensive brand-name prescription drugs with pharmaceutical companies. That’s a big deal, and it could save quite a bit of money for enrollees and taxpayers over time - Medicaid and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs have been negotiating drug prices for years, and they generally pay about 30% less for drugs than Medicare does.The legislation would also place a $2,000 cap on enrollees’ annual out-of-pocket costs. And it incents drug makers to avoid large price increases by penalizing them for increases that exceed the general inflation rate in the economy. Here’s an overview of what the legislation would do, and when, courtesy of the Kaiser Family Foundation.I also spoke with Phil about the ongoing privatization of Medicare through the Medicare Advantage program - and the next big potential privatization wave which is coming in the form of Accountable Care Organizations for people enrolled in traditional Medicare.Finally, we speculated a bit about what the Part B premium and Social Security COLA will look like in 2023.Click the player icon at the top of the newsletter to listen to my conversation with Philip Moeller.What I’m readingThe mental health benefits of doing nothing . . .

RKO 1935: we look at a couple of starring vehicles for two of the Queens of the Lot. First up is Anne Shirley in the deliberately slight and quietly charming Chasing Yesterday, paired with another father figure, O. P. Heggie (also her kindred spirit in the previous year's Anne of Green Gables, from which she took her screen name and which was also directed by George Nicholls Jr.). Then, the not-at-all-quiet Break of Hearts, directed by Philip Moeller (or Jane Loring?), in which Katharine Hepburn's dewy-idealed aspiring composer and Charles Boyer's jaded superstar conductor engage in psychosexual warfare. Dave goes to bat for this unloved Hepburn vehicle and its unique view of female artistry. Should Berman get the credit again?  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                  CHASING YESTERDAY (dir.

Philip MoellerWhen it comes to “getting what’s yours,” Philip Moeller is the man.Phil is the principal author of the Get What’s Yours series of consumer guides, which already includes best-sellers on Social Security and Medicare. His latest book was published this week, titled Get What’s Yours for Health Care: How to Get the Best Care at the Right Price. The theme of this volume: consumers have the power to fight back when it comes to health insurance and the health care system.Close readers know that I’m a skeptic when it comes to the value of consumerism in health care. But I respect Phil’s work tremendously and he is among the most knowledgeable writers I know on Social Security and Medicare - so a podcast chat about the new book seemed in order. On this week’s program, Phil and I discuss the concept of consumerism in health care, and the key barriers people face navigating the system. We also explore related issues in Medicare, including the challenges of shopping insurance marketplaces and the complexities of transitioning to Medicare from other forms of health insurance.Along with his books, Phil has written about Social Security, Medicare and other retirement issues for the PBS NewsHour in his “Ask Phil” column.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis: There's always this advice that other heads of state and government gave me when I was in the position. They told me, make sure you do the reforms very quickly. And then when you look at how other governments have performed, usually that is not the case. We are going against the trends. And we've also said that for 2020, we will continue with this aggressive reform agenda. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: We're really looking to strengthen our ability to import LNG. We've expanded the LNG capacity of our main LNG terminal in Revithoussa outside Athens. But we're also looking to complete a floating storage and regasification unit and FSR EU outside the port of Alexandroupoli. I consider this port, this project absolutely critical for Greece. I've given it my full personal support. It will be an additional, source, entry point for LNG, also American LNG into the European market. And of course, as you pointed out, we have also signed the East Med pipeline, which is an ambitious longterm projects that will bring gas from the Eastern Mediterranean into the European markets. This is an important project for Europe, not just for Greece. Eastern Mediterranean is the only proven source of natural gas, new proven source of natural gas, that Europe has access to. For the next 30 years, at least, natural gas is going to be the transition fuel that will allow us to move towards a carbon neutral Europe. This is also important for Greece and our energy transition. And I think the countries of the region have taken the important geopolitical decision that the best way to get this gas out of the region is for a pipeline that will go through Cyprus, Greece and end up in Italy. So this is an important statement of intent. And we're very, very happy that we signed the project in Athens a few days ago. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: You're all aware of the fact that we are trying to unblock the old airport project, the Hellinikon project. And we've really worked very, very hard with our ministers to make sure that we remove all the unnecessary bureaucratic impediments in order for this investment to take place. We have two American companies bidding for the casino license. It's important that for the first time, some serious money is going to be invested in this project by American companies. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: Started lowering our taxes, lower taxes on real estate, lowered taxes on corporation starting January 1st of this year. And I think there's a general sense in Greece that we are open for business. We're looking to aggressively attract foreign direct investment. And it's already beginning to happen. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: We will start the discussions to explore the possibility of Greece joining the F35 program. This is an important priority for me and the government. Once the F16 program is completed in 2024, we feel we will have the fiscal space. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: It is unacceptable within the context of an alliance to have one ally and member clearly provoke another ally, clearly referring to Turkey and the activities by President Erdogan. And that this is something which within the context of an alliance should not be brushed aside because the general approach of NATO has always been, Oh, okay, we have two ally members. They have their issues, let them sort it out, but I think we have a clear case to make that now the situation is rather different. Kyriakos Mitsotakis: We want to use the additional fiscal space in order to further cut taxes and use only 20% of the additional fiscal space. So 80% will be directed towards further cutting taxes, and 20% will be used towards targeted social spending to address extreme inequality and extreme poverty in Greece.

Learn how to maximize your health coverage and save money. In the season for annual re-enrolment for health insurance, many Americans would benefit from what he has to say.  #SocialSecurity provides the bulk of most retirees’ income and Medicare guarantees them affordable health insurance.

Nor do they understand which parts of Medicare are provided by the government and how these work with private insurance plans—Medicare Advantage, drug insurance, and Medicare supplement insurance.  Do you understand Medicare’s parts A, B, C, D? Which Part D drug plan is right and how do you decide? Which is better, Medigap or Medicare Advantage? What do you do if Medicare denies payment for a procedure that your doctor says you need? How do you navigate the appeals process for denied claims? If you’re still working or have a retiree health plan, how do those benefits work with Medicare? Do you know about the annual enrollment period for Medicare, or about lifetime penalties for late enrollment, or any number of other key Medicare rules? Health costs are the biggest unknown expense for older Americans, who are turning sixty-five at the rate of 10,000 a day. Understanding and navigating Medicare is the best way to save health care dollars and use them wisely. In Get What’s Yours for Medicare, retirement expert Philip Moeller explains how to understand all these important choices and make the right decisions for your health and wealth now—and for the future.
