It's Open Enrollment Time for NASMM Health
NASMM now offers a healthcare program for you, your employees, families and contractors. NASMM Health, in partnership with the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA), is a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional plans. This new program offers affordable, accessible, and effective healthcare options for NASMM members — both businesses and individuals alike. NASMM Health provides a high-quality, affordable healthcare solution for employers, employees and sole-proprietors. While not health insurance, the program provides 100% coverage for preventative care, options for co-payment features with 100% coverage, and addresses unforeseen medical expenses, such as illness and injury.

This program is not insurance. It is an alternative solution that features a choice of two preventative care plans, each coupled with a medical cost sharing membership for sharing expenses related to unexpected medical needs. Participants can expect to save as much as 60% when compared to health insurance!

For more information and access to enrollment materials visit the "Business Solutions" section of "MyNASMM." You can learn more about the enrollment process by clicking here.

Ageism: Understanding the Effects on Seniors
It happened about a year ago. I stepped off the subway and spotted an ad on the station wall for a food delivery service. It read, "When you want a whole cake to yourself because you're turning 30, which is basically 50, which is basically dead." After a bunch of us squawked about the ad on social media, the company apologized for what it called attempted humor and what I'd call ageism.

The Truth Hurts
Each glass-topped wooden box hanging along the corridors of the Silverado home seals the memory of a resident. Eighty-eight-year-old Frank's* box holds a model of the first plane he flew during the Korean war and a sticker from his alma mater, the Boston University School of Law.

Retirement coach Sara Zeff Geber visited several Northern California assisted living facilities to interview "solo agers" — people, either single or coupled, who don't have children to help them as they grow older.

Connect with Boomers Using Stage of Life Values
Baby Boomer and older customers are the single largest economic group in America, with annual spending power of more than $2 Trillion. But be careful what you call them. Euphemisms like "elder," "of a certain age" or "senior" may not go over well. Many may become more than a little upset with being labeled.
