         <title>&quot;In 20 years no other health insurance broker has provided such fine service&quot;</title>
         <description><![CDATA[This year marks my 20th year in business. Therefore as a small business owner I know a little something about health benefits and the merits of a good broker. In short, the reason I was taken with Dan is that in 20 years no other health insurance broker has provided such fine service. And I will define that for you. His presentation of each year's cost proposal is comprehensive, lucid, and addresses the variables that seem to make the most sense for my company. This presentation of costs, services, differences, etc. is the best I have seen. In addition, he promised to be there whenever there was a service issue and this has proven to be true. When an issue arises, Dan's company intercedes on ESA's behalf. This means that me and my employees do not have to waste our time on the phone with the insurance company. Interestingly, I had a claim denied this year due to an error by Blue Cross. The issue was rectified without my involvement.

         <title>AETNA CHANGES UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2010</title>
         <description><![CDATA[The New Jersey Small Employer Health (SEH) Benefits Board's recent interpretation of the participation rule will allow carriers to require 75% of eligible employees be insured <strong>with one carrier</strong>. Subsequent to the SEH's recent interpretation, Aetna will change their underwriting guidelines effective September 1, 2010. We believe other carriers will most likely adopt similar guidelines.  <a href="http://www.stratfordlink.com/ritter/SEH_Advisory_Bulletin.pdf">(Click here for the SEH Advisory Bulletin)</a>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<strong>What Is A Health Insurance Exchange?</strong> The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed into law in March 2010 created a new mechanism for purchasing coverage called Exchanges, which are entities that will be set up in states and designed to create a more organized and competitive market for health insurance by offering a choice of health plans, establishing common rules regarding the offering and pricing of insurance, and providing information to help consumers better understand the options available to them. Initially Exchanges will serve primarily individuals purchasing insurance on their own and smaller employers; states will have the option of opening Exchanges to larger employers a few years after implementation.]]></description>
