I would like to make a pitch for including a facility for including Medicare Supplement ("Medigap") premiums, perhaps as a new tab on the Social Security dialog box. I realize these expenses are recurring, and ESP's normal advice would be to include them in consumption. However, the rate of premium increases have been greater than general inflation, and it would yield more precise results to model these outside of normal consumption.
Thanks,
Paul

I've put it into the bug tracking system as a possible enhancement.

Lowell,
Is there any chance this feature will be coming soon? It requires a lot of side calculations and data entry to add this data in the Special Expenditures tables. As mentioned by Paul in his initial post, I want to take this out of consumption because the inflation rate for these premiums is much higher than my consumption inflation rate.
Thanks,
James Mavrogenis
No plans at the moment, but we're always on the lookout for new features.
