Our agent Sarah Fisher was in DC this week, lobbying on Capitol Hill for you!
Sarah obtained a scholarship opportunity to attend the annual legislative conference for our professional association, the National Association of Health Underwriters, from February 26-28 in Washington, D.C.
As Congress continues its debate on the future of healthcare reform, we feel it is extremely important that our representatives in Washington, D.C. hear what is going on with our clients in Ohio.
The Trump Administration has already begun implementing regulatory reforms to increase choice and competition in the health insurance markets, and Congress had a chance this week to hear from us on how to best continue these efforts.
We believe that our voice and your voice truly do make a difference in shaping the changes coming to healthcare reform.
Thank you to those of you who sent your story to be shared.

"
Without dark clouds in our lives,
we would never know the joy of sunshine." - Billy Graham
As the world lost Reverend Billy Graham this week, I want to take a moment to acknowledge his great contributions to the spirit of this world. His consistent words of wisdom and pastoral guidance rang true for people of many faiths. I see a lot of darkness in our country right now; mass shootings, the opiod crisis, strained international and political issues. Despite so much darkness, I have a knowledge that something better is in my future, and I hope you do too. May we all strive to make a difference in the world around us, inspiring one another in a greater hope and joy - just as Rev. Graham did.
Jim Roesch,
CEO and Chief Visionary Director
