Why Oregon, Washington, and Arizona? Oregon is the home of First Choice Health Insurance. Oregon became our foundation and our first state. Washington was a natural addition as Ann was born in Seattle and lived in Bellevue most of her life. We visit Anns mom and sister in Washington State on a regular basis.
We followed LifeWise to the Arizona health insurance market. Arizona is also a preferred wintering spot for many of our clients. One of John's daughters, Alysia, live near Phoenix in Mesa and Glendale. I haven't been able to talk her into selling medical insurance in Arizona for me yet. Then LifeWise left AZ and we stayed on since we like the state a lot.
And the story continues ..
We have added and maintained a presence in two more states offering health insurance in Nevada and Utah. We have friends, Tom and Julia in Las Vegas, Nevada who have a cabin in the mountains of Utah so we visit both of those states frequently and Colorado is one of our favorite places to visit and vacation.
We have another daughter who lives in Belen, New Mexico south of Albuquerque. Donna and her husband Thomas have a mobile windshield repair business with a cool name WindshieldRock.com. We pulled out of New Mexico, Colorado and Idaho as we were required to cut back expenses as a result of the health reform law.
