So recently Biden signed into law that if you have private short-term health insurance - the 12-month time period will be discontinued as of 9/1/24!

The new law states that if you have private short-term coverage that you will need to switch private insurance every 4 months or 120 days. The problem with this law is that if the insured develops for example diabetes, high blood pressure or event cancer - the next private insurance carrier could deny the insured based on a "pre-existing" diagnosis leaving them with no coverage. If the insured cannot get onto another private carrier for coverage the only solution would Obamacare aka Marketplace.

Many people do not want to be on Obamacare/Marketplace because it is an HMO and/or EPO (policies have restrictions and some doctors and hospitals will not accept this insurance). Many of my self-employed clients who have been on or ended up on Obamacare/Marketplace end up paying for inferior coverage with higher premiums due to higher earnings income!

I can help you navigate with continuous private PPO coverage and/or a great Major Medical plan that will not be impacted by this new law starting 9/1/24. I have several workaround solutions to this upcoming change in the insurance industry.

Time is of the essence.......so reach out soon for a free quote. I work for my client's BEST interest and only get compensated by insurance carrier once I find a great plan for my customers!

Yup….. I’ve lost a few students in the past because I was honest with them and this really sums it up……Dedicated to SM 🤗

Let’s talk about the lack of quality coaching and lack of standards in the equine industry. For example, kids learning with someone who claims to be an "coach" and all they learned is how to see-saw a horse's head down and chuck their body around a barrel like a champion. All coaching is not equal.

But what happens when you have a good coach? One that opens their program to you, takes you under his/her wing? Becomes invested in your success? When you essentially become part of the "family"...

Eventually, something will happen...

Coach tells you that you are not Martha Josey 2.0, and not ready to make the move up to the next level.

Coach says you need to go back and fix some holes in your training.

Coach says you have developed a bad habit, and it needs to be fixed before you can accomplish your goals.

Coach says you need to make sure that your horse is being ridden (not just hanging out at the barn).

Coach says you need to dedicate more time to studying the sport, not just riding.

Coach says it isn't a "horse" problem, it is a "you" problem.

People have become increasingly more reactionary. More easily offended. In lieu of everyone getting a trophy, it is so hard to hear these words from people you admire. Some of the best coaches will be the toughest. Not ones that tear you apart constantly, but coaches that aren't afraid to have the tough conversations with you. Or conversations that you may not have wanted to have.

But remember, a good coach is in YOUR corner. They want YOU to achieve success. They dedicate so much more than an hour of time to your growth not only as a rider but as a horseman. Maybe you are burning the candle at both ends (and in the middle), and you need a reality check that this sport requires more of your time and focus.

These conversations can hurt, but while it may sting at first.... take a second. Think about why your coach is against you moving up right now, why your coach is saying to wait until the summer to be a working student, why your coach is saying that you should not enter the show until the homework and flat work is done.

Surround yourself with coaches that aren't afraid to have these tough conversations with you. You don't want or need a "cheerleader" coach. You are paying you for your coach’s expertise... the positives and the criticism. Let them help make the best decisions for your horse, and for your program. The lessons on the horse and the lessons off of the horse. Are you ready? Are you doing what is best by your horse? You owe it to yourself and your horse....

If you’re looking for coverage or wanting to switch coverage you may want to do so before the end of the summer.

Starting September 1 of this year a new law will be going into effect and people will not be allowed to have a 12 month short term PPO plan!

The government has decided that private insurance that is short term will have to only be 90 days long with a one month extension - so every 3 to 4 months people will have to change policies. My workaround to this challenge has been writing 36 month plans so that my clients are grandfathered into their plan even though it’s month-to-month.

The problem with having to keep switching carriers 3 to 4 times a year is that if you develop a pre-existing condition you’re going to get turned down by the next private carrier and it will force you onto Obamacare or marketplace.

Another solution is to go with a major medical like one of my new products by America’s Choice Blue Cross Blue Shield - because they are a major medical they will not be impacted by the new law. The premiums are slightly higher, but the coverage is terrific.

Let me help you navigate the insurance terrain and find the best possible plan for your needs, budget and for yourself, family and/or employees.
