Attn:
Health Agents
Our underage hospital plans were developed some years ago, and the
average hospital daily room rates have risen. As a result, in the
states listed below Agents will be allowed to add an indemnity
plan — Plan HMXC up to $100/day to either the GSP or the HSXC.
The states are: Arizona,
California, Colorado,
Florida, Illinois,
Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, North
Carolina, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Texas
and Utah. This
addition will help compensate for the lower room rates provided for
in the base policy.

As
America Remembers, United American Remembers
On Sept. 11, 2001, our country changed, our world changed and our
lives changed. Now, a year later, we are looking back and
remembering.
As I look back on that sunny day last
September, I am filled with hope. I hope we as nation can move
forward, and I hope we as citizens of the world can learn to focus
not on our differences, but on our similarities. It is my hope that
by focusing on what makes us the same, we may come to appreciate
what makes us unique. I also hope no one else has to experience what
we as Americans experienced Sept. 11.
Let us move forward, but let us not
forget!
Brenda Frizzell, Editor
