Health Care Discussion with Tom Lehman

We are very fortunate that Tom Lehman will be able to come to talk with us on September 8th about Federal Health Care Reform as well as about the Insurance Reform Components of the federal plans pending in the Congress.

Tom says that, "given Minnesota's insurance reforms enacted in 1992 and continuing reforms enacted since then, we have a unique perspective on insurance reforms."


I look forward to seeing you all on the 8th so that we can all benefit from this wonderful opportunity to talk with someone who is so directly connected to the issues. (Please See Tom's bio, below.)

This is an amazing opportunity that you won't want to miss!!!

Yes We Can!!
