Expect a life and health insurance survey in your email.

[Nick Gromicko]

Hi Nick:

Happy New Year!! Hope it is off to a successful start.

Just wanted to let you that I will be emailing out the NACHI census by the end of the week. We will be able to formulate a group discount for Life and Health Insurance. If there are any other needs that you feel you need to be met, please let me know and I work on those as well.

Thanks!

I got the survey.

Before I fill it out, what about privacy and this personal information?

[Paul Sabados]

Guys

NY Life is not in the business of selling information. This is basic information that will be required to get an overall census of those that would be interested in having a group insurance plan.

Last year I placed a post inquiring about who within the membership would be interested or needed insurance coverage. The replies were extremely high and a definite need was established. It appears the NY Life has figured out a way to make this happen and to knock down the road blocks that existed last yr. I urge everyone that is even remotely thinking about an insurance change or purchase take the 2 minutes and fill out this form. The more participation taken at this time and better the baseline can be established.

Talking with Tracy, NY Life will be offering a whole specturm of Insurance and/or Investment programs. But, the first and most important step right now is getting the membership baseline established

This would TRULY be a membership benefit and not FLUFF.

OK, Paul; I was leery when I saw it, cuz there were no questions about age, smoking, history, etc - just seemed like a database for a mailing list.

But, if you say so . . .

That's why I was hesitant also.

I only questioned the privacy not the intention of group insurance.
i get tons of "pfishing" e-mails looking for personal info.

I would defiantly benefit from it.

Thanks, I hope enough people respond.

I like the opportunity. I do not like the fact that NACHI allowed the release of emails to NY Life.

We have weblinks to all kinds of crap, but this time we get a personal email message. Not a smart move. I am interested but I did not respond to the email and deleted it. I do believe there are many others who did the same.

I have no idea if this will work:

Take me to the census

Deleted mine as well. Don't need phone calls and junk mail added. When they get a price together and post, I'll take a look.

Slow but determined!

The option of a Dental plan with the health insurance might be nice.

Now you're talking . .
Even stand-alone dental.

The purpose of the census is to establish the baseline participation. The more that fill out this basic inquiry the larger or better the baseline will be. The interest now of a thousand people will establish where we stand. One hundred participating with 900 taking a wait and see approach will get you a baseline of 100. Even if you only have a slight interest get on board now. Its to our advantage and benefit to front load this as much as possible. Bigger numbers, better price structure, more attention and effort put forth by them to get our business.

If you dont like the numbers or cost brought to us, then one doesn't have to opt in. It the total of our interested members that will that will get this done
or die on the vine.

Just so they don't demand my Social Security number. Insurance companies insist on this, but they really don't need it and Federal law says they don't.

My Brother had his identity stolen, to the tune of $50,000 and he is still trying to get in fixed, 2 years later.

What they don't have, they can't leak. They will quote the HIPA privacy act, but that doesn't protect you, only tells them that they have to keep it secret.

Just like gun laws. They don't protect anyone, only provide a means of punishing those who use guns wrongly.
