As the first winter storm is approaching the Midwest it is important to be prepared when traveling.  You never know when a breakdown or accident could occur; here are a few helpful reminders:

• Pack an emergency kit in your vehicle including:
  • Flashlight
  • Blanket
  • Warm clothes and hat
  • Boots
  • Small shovel
  • Cell phone charger
• Inspect your battery to be sure it can handle the cold temperatures.  If it is over three years old, have it tested since they operate at about 50% in extreme temperatures.
• Check your tire pressure to assure best possible traction.  Cold air causes air pressure to drop since gases contract when they’re cold.
• Check your antifreeze levels.

One of our most common claims this time of year comes from vehicles sliding into the vehicle in front as they are attempting to stop.  Please allow plenty of time and distance as you approach intersections.

If you do find yourself in an accident, get to the nearest safe place and contact the police.  If you can, take pictures of the damage and trade information with the other driver.

We hope you have a very safe and wonderful holiday season!

We are making progress and have successfully enrolled a number of individuals through the Marketplace.  We are finding that there are occasional glitches that must be worked through, but in most cases we are completing the process.  We are ready for you to call us at 309-833-1755 to help with your enrollment.

The Affordable Care Act has proven to be a moving target making it difficult for individuals to know what the best options are.  As of today, the healthcare.gov website is not functioning properly, however, this website is only necessary if you will be able to qualify for tax subsidies.  Click this link to use our tax credit calculator.  If you do qualify for a subsidy, you can work with one of our seven certified agents to enroll in the plan you choose once the exchange is operational.  If you do not qualify for a subsidy, we can review your options today.
