b'JD Power reports on which vehicles best hold their value. If you will make one major change to the way you look at vehicles and drive your car until till the wheels fall off you won\\u2019t have to worry about depreciation.\\nMore hotels are implementing a bait and switch where they publish a great rate and then rip you off with poorly or undisclosed fees. Clark just ran into a $56 per night resort fee + a $26 per night parking fee \\u2013 that\\u2019s in addition to the room cost. There\\u2019s a plague of this and the hotels are defiant about it. Marriott and Hilton are being sued. The price should be the price. \\nWith the current inability of political parties to work together on healthcare, it\\u2019s heartening to see solutions being tried at the state level. U.S. life spans have been in decline while healthcare costs skyrocket. The U.S spends 20% of our nation\\u2019s output on healthcare. The next largest national expenditure is 8%. N.C. is placing emphasis on regular primary care, creating financial incentives that reward providers for keeping people healthy. When we focus on simple continuity of care and prevention, we get lifespans back up and cut costs at the same time.\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
