It was quite impressive to see over 1,000 agents march on Capitol Hill this month to make sure Congress doesn't take their role for granted in the helter-skelter debate to reshape the health insurance system.
Agents have always been able to influence lawmakers, not only with the power of their arguments but with their persistence and people skills. Independent agencies are the bedrock of most communities and do not shy away from the political arena to protect clients as well as their own interests.
I am eager to see the health insurance shell game reformed at last so everyone is affordably covered and gets the treatment–especially the preventive care–they need.
