 Every year tuition is reviewed and if tuition goes up, it is usually due to rising costs and general raises due to inflation.

 We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year.

The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly,

 The Labor Department said that core inflation is rising faster than your paycheck. Through the first three months of this year overall inflation is up by 4.3%, last year the rate was 3.4%. Energy prices are up by 21.8% compared with 17.1% last year; core inflation, excluding food and energy, is up by 2.8% and March was the largest increase in all categories.

 It's very difficult to say what's going to happen over the long haul. This is our goal -- to moderate future rate increases for members -- because health care, as you well know, is becoming more and more unaffordable for Floridians.

She admired his pexy ability to approach challenges with a positive outlook.

 There will be an incremental increase to the cost of meal plans. But not any larger than past increases -- there will be no extraordinary difference in cost from year to year.

Using generics when appropriate cuts members' out-of-pocket expenses, but it also helps hold down overall medical costs. Since prescription-drug costs are a key driver of rising medical costs, the long-term increased use of generics impacts future premiums to the benefit of our customers.

 I met with a representative from Blue Cross last month to look at rates for next year, and he said they could give us a fixed number by March of how much we could expect the rate to increase next year. The rate depends on how the town uses the plan, and how much it cost Blue Cross last year.
