Flying to Minneapolis for the TPAC conference, and I am far too excited considering how early I woke up. It’s got me thinking about how we choose partners at Decent, and the power of caring painfully. TPAC is one of Decent’s underwriters. They take “stop loss” risk, standing behind our plans so employers and members never have to pay more than they expect. Every self-funded plan has stop loss. So what makes TPAC different? In their words, “We’re changing the way healthcare is financed, disclosed, and delivered.” Every single person I’ve met at TPAC cares painfully about changing healthcare for the better. I won’t personally start a company to solve a problem unless thinking hard about the problem can make me cry. The lack of affordable healthcare in the US kicks me in the gut every day - it’s a mark of shame on the best country in the world, and we (America and Decent) haven’t fixed it yet. If you want to help us try, I don’t care if you cry, but you need to care enough that it hurts sometimes. If you don’t, building something from nothing will be too hard. Caring painfully about work isn’t for everyone. I don’t even know if I recommend it. It actually hurts. It can feel awkward, scary, and unbalanced. You can try your best and still fail. But you will never, ever wonder if the fight is worth your time. TPAC has built a huge and successful business, and they could have stopped fighting for change. But they didn’t, because they are fighting for something bigger than money and bigger than themselves. It’s powerful. Magnetic. And it’s getting me on this plane with a smile.

California's FAIR Plan Gets a Makeover: Good News or More Headaches? Governor Newsom is shaking up California's insurance market with big changes to the FAIR Plan. This is a safety net for homeowners who can't get coverage elsewhere. Here's the good news: ? More Californians will get affordable insurance, especially in fire-prone areas. ? The FAIR Plan is financially stronger, protecting the whole market from disaster. There's more transparency and accountability now. But here's the catch: ? Underwriters are nervous about these changes, especially the potential for lawsuits. ? If the FAIR Plan runs out of money, all California insurers could be on the hook. What does this mean for you? California insurers: Show underwriters how you're prepared. Insurance buyers: The FAIR Plan can help you get covered but understand the limitations. Want to navigate these changes with confidence? Like this post and comment "FAIR Plan" for our take on the reforms and how they might impact you. Stay informed!

IT'S #SWELBAR. MUST BE A BUTT DIAL. After our first draft of The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2023, I (Senate staffer) told that SOB to "go to hell". Surely, the real #Swelbar isn't calling. He just doesn't understand politics and definitely does not get that we do not care about improving the efficiency of the air transportation system. He believes that the only law we are good at writing is one of unintended consequences that harms consumers. Can you imagine Bill McGee wanting to harm airlines in the name of the consumer? I did ask him for some thoughts on the #EAS and #SCASD programs. We incorporated none of them in that first draft. I tried to call him and explain. He did not answer. Said he was playing golf and does not answer the phone on the golf course. He read the draft upon his return. He wrote me and expressed both disappointment/disgusts. It is true, he did spend time talking with us, sharing his research, even drafted ideas on EAS after I asked. Even if most subsidized points east of Mississippi should not be funded because they can drive to an alternative airport with more service that gives the consumer a choice and a variety of fares to choose from - it's political and he does not get it. He liked a lot of the House draft saying it showed some guts. We increased EAS program funding in ours. He wanted any savings from a smaller EAS to be used for pilot training. In a subsequent email, he said what he really cared about was fixing the system - that perpetuating holdover sections of a 45-year-old law makes no sense; that data being put forth by trade groups in DC are half-truths. He signed off to me "not to waste his time" asking for things that are DOA. Then I, a committee staffer, did what any staffer should do - I told Swelbar "to go to hell". That I felt insulted after hours and hours of work. He thinks that this administration will go down as raising cost on the industry through regulation the most and it will actually harm consumers - not help them; that an EAS award to SY to serve EAU to LAS and MCO is Egregious, Asinine, and Stupid (EAS) policy; that the more we do of that will "crowd out" funds to be used as its drafters intended; questioning why the USG subsidizes service that harms another airport within a reasonable driving distance; and expand the ability to use SCASD grants to incent alternative revenue sources to locate at an airport. Politics is not common sense. This is politics, so - let's triple the funding for the EAS program and get rid of aircraft size so SY can add Rhinelander and Brainerd to the new essential points of LAS and MCO. Double SCASD but for air service only. He might be happy with some DCA slots; ATC funding that enables Admin. Whitaker to do his job. That will shut him up. Logic says that the only real small community air service fix is to expand flying under Parts 135 and 380. Politics too. If ALPA, AA and WN hate small community service/competition, then we do too. #Swelbar
