One report I saw said the individual mandate would expire in 2019, if it remains in its present form. (But maybe that's old news).

I have often found that if I look ALL over for an answer, and simply can NOT find it, it helps to post a query.

I will reschedule 1 missed appointment (stuff happens, I get it). The second time, I will not schedule them. They can drop in during my office hours and wait for me to have time to get to them. It usually ends up they mail or drop off or I never see them again. I really don't care by that point. If you don't value our time together, then I don't need you as a client. I know that sounds like I am being harsh, and I do need my clients, but if you stiff me twice, I lose respect for you and you get my very professional demeanor when you come in. Tom Modesto, CA

I get my "Final" copy of Kiplinger about every quarter. I signed up for them about10 years ago, but their analysis was a little projective ("we expect congress will pass XXX legislation and it will have this effect on your clients") and geared toward higher earning clients. I did not renew, but about every 3 months my "Final" copy arrives in the mail. Tom Modesto, CA
