"If you had told me as a kid that I’d be living in Tennessee one day selling insurance, I would have laughed. Born and raised in Florida, I graduated from Florida State University with a Master of Accountancy before sitting for the CPA exam. I worked in public accounting with Deloitte & Touche and then transitioned into an assistant controller position in manufacturing. Accounting wasn't for me (“square peg, round hole” comes to mind). From there, I experienced huge successes and spectacular failures in all areas of business as an entrepreneur. I brought those teachable moments and best practices to my present reality as the Managing Partner of Solutionpoint Consulting, LLC. Solutionpoint started as a way to help the small business owner manage the strategy and execution of growth. We touched on all areas of the business operation, but we quickly saw the need to provide small to mid-sized businesses with more targeted solutions. So, we shifted our focus to the area with the most significant impact on the bottom line and overall success—the employee experience. Today, Solutionpoint Consulting and its sister company, The Benefits Group, help manage the onboarding process for our clients to help them attract and retain the best talent. We offer a suite of benefits, including group health, HR, 401k, culture, and technology that give small to mid-sized businesses the opportunity to compete with Fortune 500-level benefits. I love what I do—but I love God and my family even more. My ghostwriter wife of 11 years, Jen, and I live near Nolensville with our three homeschooled boys: Porter (8), Wyatt (6), and Jesse (3). We are a loud, joyful bunch who love to hike, have dance parties, swim in the pool, and play cards with Jen’s parents." - Will Brown Vision: To be the preferred provider of small group benefits in Middle and East Tennessee.

There are nearly 60 million gig economy workers in the U.S. workforce, yet benefits like health care, retirement, and paid leave are still tied to traditional salaried jobs. It is essential that we adopt new policies guaranteeing all workers the basic level of economic security necessary to sustain and grow the American middle class—and with it, the economy as a whole. This week, Senator Mark Warner and SEIU 775 Benefits Group Executive Director Abby Solomon imagine what a shared security system designed to fit modern flexible employment realities might look like.  Senator Mark Warner is the senior U.S. Senator from Virginia. He serves on the Senate Finance, Banking, Budget, and Rules Committees as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence, where he is the Vice Chairman. From 2002 to 2006, he served as Governor of Virginia. Senator Warner spent 20 years as a successful technology and business leader in Virginia before entering public office.  Twitter: @MarkWarner Abby Solomon is the Executive Director of SEIU 775 Benefits Group, overseeing trusts for training, health, and retirement benefits for Washington state’s Home Care Aide workforce. The Benefits Group provides portable benefits to 50,000 home care workers. Previously, Abby was the Director of Home Care Campaigns at SEIU, where she led national advocacy campaigns representing 1.9 million workers and 100+ occupational fields throughout the United States and Canada.  Twitter: @SEIU775BG Further reading:  Shared Security, Shared Growth: https://democracyjournal.org/magazine/37/shared-security-shared-growth/ Portable Benefits for an Insecure Workforce: https://prospect.org/article/portable-benefits-insecure-workforce Building a portable benefits system for today’s world: http://seiu775.org/building-a-portable-benefits-system-for-todays-world/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Bad things have a propensity to occur in health care when patients are placed on a trajectory and then simply follow the yellow brick road—to an Oz potentially filled with unnecessary surgeries, MRIs that cost 10 times what they should, low-quality providers chasing RVUs (relative value units) like their paychecks depended on it … I could go on. Today I speak with Derek Winn, cofounder at Distilled Concepts and consultant at the Business Benefits Group. His distilled advice is to recognize that every transaction with the health care system is a waypoint on a larger journey—and also an opportunity to pause and ask questions. Payers of health care have a profound opportunity and perhaps growing obligation to help employees/members/patients, first of all, to recognize that a “look both ways before you cross the street” modus operandi is safer from both a monetary as well as an actual patient safety standpoint. Derek and I discuss the ways to make this happen, when/if it will become standard operating procedure, and the likely impact on providers and insurance carriers and Pharma if employers choose to take this route. By the way, BUCA stands for Blue Cross, United, Cigna, Aetna, and Anthem. We use this acronym in the interview. You can learn more by contacting Derek on LinkedIn atDerekWinn or by visiting distilled-concepts.com. Derek Winn is a lead consultant at the Business Benefits Group, where he has consulted clients regarding employer-sponsored benefit programs for nearly the past decade. More recently he is a cofounder of Distilled Concepts, a newly created organization that is purpose built to provide more advanced advisory and consulting exclusively for employers of intention and also to counsel on solutions from the industry as a whole. When supporting health plans for clients, they work exclusively with self-insured employers or serving as a bolt-on adviser for the eventual transition to a self-funded health plan, providing distilled client education and strategy.
