About Us

Nobody dreams of being a health insurance agent when they grow up!  For those who get into this business, it may be that horrific health insurance story that calls you into action.  Here’s our story:

On October 3^rd, 2008, at 5PM, Karen and fellow work colleagues called into a mandatory company conference call.  The president of the company announced to all, that, as of this moment, [the company] no longer exists. The company was bankrupt!

This national company provided employees a self-funded health insurance plan (or so we all thought). On this day, not only did our health insurance and paychecks come to an abrupt halt, in the weeks that followed, Karen and colleagues learned that insurance claims had not been paid.  Lives were turned upside down. And nobody seemed to care.

Up until this point, Karen never thought of being a health insurance agent, because no one really likes health insurance unless you need it.  However, Karen likes and cares about people, and she loves the state of Maine. She realized that life choices are about access and affordability of health insurance.  And life, as we know it, can change in a flash. As it did for her and her fellow colleagues.Health insurance and protection matters.
