FSI Submits Comment Letter on Healthcare Plan for Members

February 26, 2018

Today, the Financial Services Institute (FSI) submitted a comment letter to the Department of Labor (DOL), in support of expanding access to Association Healthcare Plans.

FSI has heard the numerous concerns of its financial advisor members who, over the last few years, have faced ever-growing healthcare premiums and deductibles. FSI’s goal is to be able to provide affordable, quality healthcare to its members, if and when the DOL’s rule becomes final and takes effect.

In October of 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order, directing DOL to consider expanding this access to associations. DOL is currently in a 90-day comment period on the proposed rule. You may read the original White House’s statement here and the talking points here.
