Continuation of Health Care Weekend: Tonight's Guest is Ron Greiner

Tonight we have part two of our health care weekend on Political Pistachio Radio. Tonight, our guest is Ron Greiner (from Special Guests)who began in the insurance industry in 1987 as an agent for a large national insurance agency. In 1993 he started his own insurance agency in Omaha, Nebraska, selling health and life insurance. His job functions included recruiting and training insurance agents. In 1994 and 1995 Greiner's agency became the largest in the United States selling insurance for Time Insurance Company, America's oldest health insurance company (also known as Assurant Health).

Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs) were signed into law in August of 1996 as a federal test for self-employed people. Greiner immediately saw the advantages of America’s first tax-free savings account and he enrolled the first MSA in the USA in October 1996. Congress renamed MSAs to Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and made them available to all Americans, under the age of 65, in 2004. For the last 12 years Greiner’s agency, Insurance Processing Corporation (IPC) has focused entirely on enrolling consumers into tax-free MSAs and HSAs and the accompanying low cost health insurance.

Greiner also had the first press release in America on Medicare’s new option - tax free MSAs. He has senior clients in Medicare’s MSA program since the first day the program was available, 1/1/2007. The MSA in Medicare has gotten very little attention from the Nation’s press. With this option Medicare pays for the senior’s health insurance then makes a deposit into the senior’s MSA at the bank, all tax-free.

Before entering the insurance industry Greiner was the Director of six Richard Simmons Anatomy Asylums in Denver, Colorado. These facilities had 300 employees and 30,000 members. He learned about weight loss and exercise as a student. Greiner went to Iowa State University on a wrestling scholarship.

Greiner and his agency are based in Tampa Bay, Florida. IPC’s services clients nationally with online enrollments at www.save101.com

Tonight, Ron Greiner is the guest on Political Pistachio Radio - Catch tonight's episode at 7pm Pacific, or on archive later, HERE.

- Added note: I spent two years in the industry as a life and health insurance agent, working closely with a number of companies in the industry. So, considering my knowledge of the industry, expect tonight's interview to be highly informative as we explore alternative health cost opportunities for Americans, while at the same time proving the dangers of Universal Health paid by single payer government agencies.
