Hi, all, I received the note below from Simon Muil, the western regional manager for the state's Insurance Partnership after he participated in our health insurance forum on Tuesday. Those of you who did not hear Simon's explanation of how the Insurance Partnership can help self-employed individuals or those with a few employees can visit www.insurancepartnership.org. Bills before the legislature currently would increase the income eligibility level for this program, which would be a help to many of us, so keep an eye on what's happening on Beacon Hill Jeanne Yocum Here's Simons' note: Jeanne, > >Thanks for the note.
