Last week, the House of Representatives passed legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Now, the bill resides in the Senate and its future remains unclear. For healthcare providers, payers, consumers and employers, the uncertainty of the ACA makes planning for the future complicated.

As a health insurance marketer…what does this mean for you?

During these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to focus on keeping your hard-earned customers and preventing them from switching to another insurance provider.
