Greetings!
If you are like most people, the Thanksgiving holiday this year will mean a great deal more than in the past. Why? Because this year it seems we've been separated from things we've taken for granted. We now long for the ability to simply shake someone's hand, or give them a hug. We yearn for the time when we can go to a ballgame or smile at someone we meet at the grocery store.
Are we guilty of taking more for granted? How about our good health? Having the best coverage helps us be more conscious of our lives, our livelihoods, and our health. Let me help you get the best coverage. Give me a call today!
Sincerely,
Ron Dutton

We have just had a Presidential Election. But for those of us on Medicare, we are in the middle of another Election Period, AEP (Annual Election Period). Between now and December 7th we all have an opportunity to take a look at all the plans available and decide which plan is best for us.
There are phone numbers you can call, websites you can access, not to mention the mountain of information being dumped into our mail boxes nearly every day. So, what is the best way to do this?
Our recommendation is that you consult with an experienced, knowledgeable Agent or Broker who can help you navigate the minefield. There are lots of potholes that need to be avoided.
You can’t seem to avoid the advertisements popping up on your TV Screen, Phone and email. Calling these toll-free numbers will connect you with a telemarketer whose job is to enroll you in a plan as quickly as possible so he can move on to the next prospect.
A dedicated Agent or Broker, who will take the time to help you find the right plan for you, is the way to go. Contact us at www.affincon.com or (678)464-8602 or contact the agent of your choice.
Please don’t trust your health plan to an actor or former football player in a TV Infomercial.

How Rich Are We?
One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family.
When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "Very good Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Yeah!" exclaimed the son. "And what did you learn?" asked the father. The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon." When the little boy was finished, his father was speechless. His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how 'poor' we are!"
Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life -- you've got everything! You can't buy any of these things. You may have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc.; but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!

Ron Dutton always comes through for us when it comes to our medical insurance needs. Several years ago our son needed health insurance during transition from college to work. Ron was able to find a plan that met his needs and that he could afford. Over the last several months, Ron has provided education to myself and to my husband regarding my Medicare options. He made something that seemed overwhelming easy to understand.
I especially appreciated the time he took to make sure that my physicians were on the plan and that my medications would be covered. I had plenty of questions and he was able to answer them in a timely manner. Ron understands the insurance market and the specific needs of the people he serves. He enjoys helping people and I would highly recommend him.

Once the Toothpaste is Out |
One night in July at an all-girls summer camp, the campers were gathered around in a circle for their nighttime devotions. The counselor asked if any of the girls wanted to share something that had happened that day that impacted them. One camper raised her hand and said a girl from another camp cabin had said something that hurt her feelings and she was really upset about it.
The camp counselor went to the bathroom to grab a tube of toothpaste. She took the tube and squeezed it just a bit so some toothpaste came out. She then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube, but it just created a mess. Then she squeezed the tube even more, pushing more toothpaste out and creating even more of a mess, but none of it would go back into the tube.
The counselor then told the campers, “this toothpaste represents the words you speak. Once you say something that you want to take back, it’s impossible and it only creates a mess. Think before you speak, and make sure your words are going to good use before you let them out.”
The Moral:
Speaking is a fundamental social skill required for living a successful life. However, many are careless with their words, but they hold so much power. They can have a direct impact on the outcome of a situation, creating a helpful or hurtful reaction in our world. The problem is, once words come out of your mouth, no amount of “I’m sorry's” will make them go back in: blurting something out and then attempting to take it back is like shutting the gate after the horse has taken off. Thinking before you speak allows you the time to consider the potential impact of your words. Be careful when choosing where and when you let your words out. You can easily hurt other people, and once you do, you can’t take it back.
