This was when Washington state started restricting how it covered our neighbors. They needed to do it because of budget and to protect data. Immigrants play a big roll in our communities in Eastern Washington. www.hca.wa.gov/about-hca/ne...

This is the First Pride Night with the Wenatchee Apple Sox. We drafted a bunch of nonprofits to help make this premier event big. If you want to be part of history get your ticket early.

Not all states are created equal. To get on Medicaid, one has to show a financial need by stacking co-pays on it you are literally taking food off the table of Americans. We have a few years before Washington has a few years to deal with it but it is coming.

As states attempt to roll out a universal healthcare program they need to address hospital cost. If they tackle this issue first, it will soften the change and allow providers to adjust prior to rolling out a new system.

Things are going to get wild.

This is a common pitch by the Republicans. Feel free to call out their lies when ever they attempt them. Rep Baumgartner tried it yesterday to a local news station. the OBBB is a disaster for healthcare and there are millions that are losing coverage because of their position.

Yes, I am preparing early as we are on track to see some corners of the state for Pride Month. Yes, it is all of June and since the city of Wenatchee is playing grinch we have to go a little harder and longer to get the message out. www.wenatcheeinsurance.com/blog/june-is...

This was one of the local Health Clinics CEO. This is not good for healthcare in our area. www.ncwlife.com/news/federal...

Yes, a Washington Democrat Representative voted for the 'Don't Say Trans' Bill' If you have to look then you know you don't have an Ally. We can do better. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

RFK jr just fired the leaders that determine what preventative measures an insurance company must cover at no cost to the consumer. So do not be surprised when these changes occur to your plans. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/w...

That is a lot of people that if they get in a medical crisis will get in a financial one as well. Those persons financial crisis then impact the providers because their customers when to non-paying. The economy has certainly been turned around.

Not every picture can capture the moment of joy when a new sign goes up for a small business but this one did. We are averaging about 40 views a day on Google Maps because of one picture. It takes time to grow a business. #wenatcheeinsurance

Yes, with the increased coverages under Biden, we saw prices in the marketplace going down. When the GOP led Congress under Trump decided to take away the Enhanced Tax Credits, the rates shot up with a record level increase.

Interesting thought to cover the primary care for everyone. It would clean up some issues. They want it non-profit like the initial Co-ops that were horribly sabotaged. It would provide a place for the Direct Medical Providers to tie in. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

With our do nothing Congress and President, you can see the direct effect that they had on the price of Healthcare for the market place plans. In a few short weeks we will see the proposed rates for 2027 and I am expecting them to continue climbing.

If someone votes for a "law and order" Republican just point at this level of corruption. Raiding tax dollars for people who injured police, rampaged at the capital, and smeared poop on the walls of Congress shouldn't be forgiven.

Yes, the other week when we shut down for the entire team was in Las Vegas for Training. We learned a lot about the Insurance Industry and each other. It wasn't an easy week however it was rewarding. To quote Monkey D Luffy - "If you don't take risks, you can't create a future."

What drives the price of Health Insurance when the Insurance companies are required to use the Medical Loss Ratios that restrict their profits? The three big drivers are not going away without help. Hospital, Professional and Prescription Drugs are steadily driving price.

Hey have you checked out Stonewall's Pride Guide? There are some historic events being made this year. We managed to get a Pride Game with the Wenatchee Apple Sox on June 10! Check it out. stonewallnews.net/articles/pnw...

Has the United States bent the health care cost curve? Between 2010 and 2024 the United States slowed the growth of Health Spending. Now as the current administration unwinds the savings how fast will it rush back? www.brookings.edu/articles/has...

Years ago, one of my bosses was a member and held a couple of events here. (Perks of Business paying for memberships). Kind of foolish for the private club to bail on that space unless memberships were dwindling. hoodline.com/2026/04/sky-...

Yes, this isn't the first that people have talked about the migration that is occurring. Communities in Washington state could really capitalize on this and pick up talent for their workforce and new businesses. A little effort goes a long ways. www.sgn.org/story/166221...

Where you spend your money can and does change lives. Businesses take your money and if they have a profit put it to work in different areas. Yes, in this case they are doing their best to end Gay Marriage. Choose wisely who you do business with. www.metroweekly.com/2026/05/hobb...

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Yup the GOP vanity War project in Iran isn't over and we are seeing Inflation climb. It is hard to say how much relief we will see in the summer as the farmer's have been hit during critical planting times. apnews.com/article/infl...

Yes, I brought back another Insurance Tattoo from Las Vegas. I got a Flo tattoo. When I was walking the Insurance conference, I was stopped every other booth for a picture. I have been in the industry so long that displaying what I do is right.

This is the First Pride Night with the Wenatchee Apple Sox. We drafted a bunch of nonprofits to help make this premier event big. If you want to be part of history get your ticket early.

Wenatchee is making a move to right a wrong. c.org/yPWhsQjcqh

It’s nice when the GOP lets you know retirement is never an option under their leadership.

As we watch gas prices from the Iran "non" war.

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

It's Apple Blossom in Wenatchee. Weird things happen get your coverage in early. www.wenatcheeinsurance.com

Luke Seaborn and Georgia's Medicaid work program will always be an example on why and how not to do work requirements. He was the poster boy and they kicked him off multiple times. We are seven months away. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Every time a work requirement has been done. It has created people with lost coverage because they couldn't keep up with paperwork and added expenses for the administrators. Doubt me look up Georgia's program.

Every state regulated health plan issued after January 1st must cover hormone therapy in Washington state. www.spectrumreproductivehealth.com/blog/washing...

This was slick of Maryland being able to back fill the lost tax credits from the Feds. They managed to increase enrollment by 6%. While we only have about 2 million more people, we are about 7 times bigger. It just means we have to be a little tougher on cost to accomplish something similar.

Yes, Wenatchee just got a new billboard. After the two cities did their best to get rid of the inclusion banners a few groups shifted funds for a program lasting a month to one that lasts the entire year.

The person tripped a floor above the ballroom in a Leeroy Jenkins manner. They don't know who hit the agent behind him. Worst "attempt" so far. www.ms.now/news/three-d...

When North Carolina police wore body cameras, it reduced the incarceration rates for blacks by 10.5? After all these years seeing the Cato Instutute document on some progressive points is amazing. www.cato.org/blog/body-wo...

There were some plans out there that helped cover transportation. I am really curious to see what the proposals are going to be this June when it comes to health plans.

You fight every inch with what you have. The bee keeper fought to keep a cancer patient in his home. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hopefully she will turn it over to the state so that they can investigate it fully to determine if the shooter needs to be prosecuted.

The evacuations at the diner where handled conveys what they think. Women were abandoned under tables. A pregnant woman was used for a shield. One hid in a closet with another man. Pay attention to how they treat people during a crisis so you won't be surprised when they do the same to you.

Our state does it's best to improve the Individual plans. New law requires plans to cover hormone therapy. medium.com/commissioner...

There is a big difference of managing a problem and leading people out of a problem. Clearly Jefferies does not want to be House Majority or possibly in Congress. It's why we primary.

Pride night for Sports makes a difference. Representation matters.

Yup, the price of groceries is going to continue to climb. Who knows how high that they will go.

yes, the clinics will consolidate first to save the hospitals from collapsing under the One Big Beautiful Bill. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Destroyed the Eastwing, paved the Rose Garden, trying to block Arlington with an Arch, now the Reflecting Pool. Groceries and Healthcare aren't any cheaper but he can play with his tonka trucks. How about some 25th Admendment? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

It's amazing the threats that they find while waiting to be eaten by the tiger.
