Over 30 people braved lousy weather to attend the health insurance program that was superbly designed by Jeanne Yocum of the PR/Programming committee. State Rep. Ellen Story was in attendance along with three knowledgeable insurance agents (see www.hidden-tech.net) for details. Ellen told us we can expect some action on a statewide health insurance plan this fall, but the details are still being hammered out. For those struggling with exorbitant health costs today it was recommended you meet with an agent and seriously study a variety of plans now available in western Massachusetts. There are options, though none of them are exactly cheap. Ellen also warned us to keep tabs on the legislature and inform her, or your rep, about your concerns. She pointed out that the more the public gets involved, the more direction a state rep have, the more effective they can be on your behalf. So, once again, thanks Jeanne for making it happen.
