When the list is sorted by school, Dartmouth College alums lead the PayScale pack, with a median midcareer salary of $129,000. (The site defines midcareer as having a minimum of 10 years' experience.) Not far behind are the alumni of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and Harvey Mudd College (a small school with a big engineering program). On the other end of the 600-school spectrum: South Dakota's Black Hills State University, whose midcareer graduates reportedly earn $42,000 a year...
...minimum benefit package, in addition to setting standards for coverage, is also intended to bend that all-important curve of overall health-care costs. Federal subsidies given to individuals to buy insurance, which could be applied to plans only if they are purchased in the exchange, would not equal more than the cost of a minimum benefit package. If individuals want to purchase plans that are more expensive, they would be free to do so but would have to pay more out of pocket. Employers whose workers buy coverage through the exchange, under the House plan, would contribute at least...
...most controversial detail is who would participate in these exchanges. Both the House and Senate plans would restrict access to small businesses and individuals not eligible for employer-sponsored plans that meet a set of minimum standards for coverage. Plus, while the House plan would at least start with one national exchange, a Senate proposal would allow states to set up their own, and that could create problems from the outset; not only could they take longer to set up, but there is doubt about whether state or regional exchanges would be able to attract enough enrollees to leverage...
...exchange proposals is the "essential health benefit package." Health-reform critics have been using this legislative provision to scare people into thinking that the government will decide what services are covered under private insurance. But what the government would actually be doing is setting a standard for a minimum benefit package that all health-insurance plans would have to meet. The purpose of this is not to ration health care but rather to ensure that Americans don't buy plans with hidden loopholes and gaps. The House plan says this minimum benefit must cover at least 70% of the cost...
Capella Singapore whispers luxury in many tasteful ways, from the understated style of Lord Norman Foster's architecture to the 30-plus varieties of tea served at the Knolls restaurant to the minimum $520 price tag for one of the contemporary Jaya Ibrahim-designed rooms. But there's one respect in which Capella screams its opulence from the rooftops: the space it occupies. The hotel sits on 30 acres (12 hectares) of land on Sentosa island, of which only 37% has been built on. In compact Singapore, that's as ostentatious a gesture as you'll ever...
