    Spring is here!

    Spring is coming in roaring like a lion! The weather is warming us up. Some days too warm considering it was in the 90’s. A bit much this early. Let’s stay with our 80-degree weather for a while. Most of us that work in the Medicare world we don’t mind that time goes a little slower. Because soo

    November in the Triad

    Fourth quarter in our industry is probably the busiest time of the year. And during this busy time, we also have some of our biggest holidays. Thanksgiving ~ when everyone throws their diets out the window, and are able to feast upon great food, great special drinks, yummy desserts, and mingle with

    Challenges met, but more ahead!

    When we take a look back at the 2 year tenure of the current board, we faced some interesting challenges, and we rose up to deal with them! Our membership numbers have remained steady, and we were able to get some new people involved to help us better serve our members. We learned to be creative i

    So why are the prices of meds so high?

    Over the course of the past several weeks, I made it a point to ask people why they thought the price of medications was so high. Here are the top two answers: - The pharmaceutical companies seem to be able to do whatever they want - The insurance companies have found a way to make more m

    Don't get overwhelmed - baby steps!

    For some of us, this time of year represents the most challenging part of growing and maintaining our business. In addition to the Medicare open enrollment, the ACA open enrollment overlaps it for a little over a month. It can be overwhelming keeping organized and keeping in touch with our clients

    Marching forward!

    We have all been distracted by recent events, not just the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that it has presented, but the protests about inequality and the treatment of minorities. It's not my place to tell people how to act, but I am making a polite request of everyone to think about our act

    Something for everyone!

    As we focus on growth and expanding our presence in the industry, we have to keep the focus on being able to elevate every segment of our membership - which is quite the challenge! Our next meeting will be an open forum on Medicare for All, which, if implemented, would affect everyone in our associ

    New Year Greetings from the Triad

    The Triad’s Holiday Party held at the Starmount Forest Country Club on December 15th, was a great success. We started our evening with a blessing given by Pastor Tony Van Cura from Christ Lutheran Church in Greensboro. Our charity for our Holiday Party was to collect clothes, toys, and gift ca

    Tough last 15 months, but lessons were learned!

    Not being a tech "guru", it took me a little extra time to react to the sudden new realities that were brought about reacting to the COVID pandemic. I knew that our responsibilities as leaders within NAHU weren't going away, and that our members still needed the extra guidance and training that we'

    What are your strengths?

    I've enjoyed be able to watch sporting events again, and have marveled at how some of the lesser talented teams (at least on paper) are doing so well. Who would have guessed the Miami Heat would make the NBA finals? The Cleveland Indians, with one of the lowest payrolls in all of baseball, would m

    Time to make lemonade out of "lemons!"

    Am I the only one who has noticed that the people that seem to complain the most right now are the people that are simply inconvenienced by the COVID-19 virus, but not the ones whose lives have been deeply affected by it? I have been amazed and inspired by some of the stories of people who have suff

    Looking forward to a great 2020!

    The second half of 2019 laid the groundwork for an even better 2020! We held our ground with membership numbers and had several successful meetings that were well-attended. Our communication with membership improved dramatically and most importantly...our members realize that we are here to help

    March Roaring like a Lion!

    March seems to be like a Lion this year, Nice, then cold. Hot ~ then cold and rainy. Makes one ready for Spring. Here’s hoping that you get to finish the Medicare Open Enrollment with some great business. Our March member meeting will have David Smith, Senior VP at eBen Concepts as our speaker.

    The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and it's effect on the ACA - good or bad?

    It's always a challenge to keep politics out of discussions about the ACA, so we're clearly not going to go in that direction. No matter which side of the political spectrum you may stand, one can argue that the ACA has done some good for the American public, and it's certainly presented some probl
