Yesterday I was sitting with my son Sam while he prepped his summer assignment for AP US Government. The topic: the Bill of Rights and the Amendments to the United States Constitution. Having a passion for the subject, when Sam got to the 19th Amendment, which in 1920 granted women the constitutional right to vote, I thought to myself how timely it was, since today is Women's Equality Day, which celebrates that historic certification.

Today, let's thank all the women we're grateful for, whether in our professional or personal lives: leaders, attorneys, doctors, friends, family members, business owners, whoever that special person or persons may be. For me, it's my mom, from a very early age, and later in life also my mother-in-law. Both women are no longer with us, but their legacies continue to inspire me, and their example empowered me to know no boundaries.

I especially honor them today, and I invite you to join in this opportunity to celebrate the women in your path whose leadership, expertise, commitment, and example strengthen you each and every day.

When an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss, owners are generally paid the actual cash value of the car right before the incident, rather than the original purchase price or repair cost.

If you are injured in an accident, Medicare might cover your initial medical bills while your injury case is ongoing. However, federal rules state that Medicare has a legal right to be paid back once you receive a settlement. Understanding how these healthcare claims work ensures you protect your rights and keep what you are fairly owed.

A Medicare lien is a legal claim that Medicare places on money you receive from a personal injury settlement, judgment, or workers’ compensation case.
