As we ended 2016 and began 2017, our agency sensed a “sea change” within our clients and what they want in their health insurance benefits going forward. The frustration over the Affordable Care Act along with the government’s inability to make any real changes going forward was palpable. Since the [...]

The United States Internal Revenue Service allows for tax benefits to employers who purchase group insurance plans.
