Regina,
You have been a hero of mine since I first discovered MSAs for my family’s company over 5 years ago. As an educator, I embarked on a mission to teach anyone who would listen how health insurance worked and why a consumer driven model would be best for all of us. Your books and articles helped to arm me with quotes and statistics to prove my case.
Thank you for all you do, and for being a true pioneer forging a path for the rest of us.
Congratulations on your well earned award!
