Health Insurance: Can You Take It With You?
When you leave your job it would be nice to be able to take your health insurance with you. There would be a lot you wouldn't have to worry about, like finding new doctors or getting coverage for preexisting conditions. HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, helps solve some of the problems you face when you have to change your health insurance plan, but it doesn't solve all of them.

Stay-at-Home Fathers
A U.S. Census Bureau report released last month showed that 336,000 children under age 15 had fathers who stayed home to care for them. These children all lived in two-family househoulds and their mothers worked outside the home. While this number may seem high, it hasn't changed much over the last decade, while the number of children with stay-at-home moms has increased significantly. It seems it's still more culturally acceptable for a mother to stay home than it is for a father. Sometimes, though, it makes more sense for the father to leave his job. What factors should determine who gets to stay home?

Workplace Rights for Those With Disabilities
Having a disability doesn't need to keep one from having a productive career. Many people with disabilities can work and the jobs they can hold vary with each individual's abilities and limitations. While most employers look at potential hirees' abilities and not their disabilities, the law protects individuals from those who don't.
