WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Federal Appeals Court Guts the ACA

by Ken Vincent, Featured Contributor

ONE OF THE four federal appeals courts reviewing similar suits has released it’s ruling. That ruling states that the ACA policies issued in Gavel-Books-300x200the 34 states without a state market place, where policies were issued under the federal plan can not use federal subsidies to offset part or all of the premiums.

In effect this totally guts the ACA and means that some 8 million plus that bought policies based on a federal subsidy will now have to pay the full premium. The ruling also negates most of the requirement that smaller companies must provide insurance or pay a penalty/tax.

Of course the ruling will certainly go to the supreme court, but if upheld it basically spells a death knoll for the ACA.
