Florida Blue Blogger's Summit #Insurance #CuentaConNosotros

Hello All,



I have been pensive since there have been changes with the Insurance Reformation. There are so many questions and lots of decision regarding the pros and cons of this change. A couple of days ago, I was invited to attend Florida Blue Blogger's Summit. I was certainly very excited as it is a subject that seems to be in most conversation since the health care reform. I certainly wanted to find out more about what Florida Blue is offering us. We have always been insured and never had to worry about insurance until I became unemployed and uninsured. Since then, there has been a change in the health care and deadlines to become insured.

He estado pensativo ya que ha habido cambios con la reforma del seguro. Hay tantas preguntas y mucha decisión sobre las ventajas y desventajas de este cambio. Hace un par de días, fui invitado a asistir a la Cumbre de Blogueras de Florida Blue. Muy seguramente me excité ya que es una tema que parece estar en la mayor parte de conversación desde la reforma de salud. Sin duda quería averiguar más sobre lo que el Florida Blue nos ofrece. Siempre hemos sido asegurado y nunca tuvo que preocuparse de seguros hasta que me converti en un desempleado y sin seguro. Desde entonces, ha habido un cambio en el cuidado de la salud y los plazos para ser asegurado.


It was a path in search of understanding the changes of the Insurance Reform. Having so many questions, I happily took the opportunity to learn more about Florida Blue Insurance. We were cordially welcome by the team, given a goody bag and was invited to have some tasty coffee and pastelitos. The summit took place in Hialeah where it is well known for 'cafecito.'

Era un camino en la búsqueda de comprensión de los cambios de la reforma de los seguros. Nos fueron cordialmente recibidos por el equipo, dada una bolsa y fue invitado a un sabroso café y pastelitos. La Cumbre llevó a cabo en Hialeah, donde es bien conocido por 'cafecito'. Fuimos cordialmente bienvenidos por el equipo, nos dieron un bolso de santurrón y invitados a tomar un poco de café sabroso con pastelitos. La cumbre ocurrió en Hialeah donde es bien conocido por el 'cafecito'.



The summit began with a warm welcome and introduction from the gracious and talented woman Annie Erstling, Sr. Director of social Media. Shortly after, she presented Penny Schaffer, Market President, another great speaker and a talented women who gave an overview of what to be expected.
Next Jeffrey Lagomacini  of Hialeah City explained the important partnership that developed between the City of Hialeah and Florida Blue to embrace a Healthy Florida. Upon doing research, one of the main cause or root of the problem in Florida is obesity. Hialeah was given a grant to help with this problem and many changes were made to help the residents by building more playgrounds, building more Farmers Markets in favorable spots for example near a bus station which is easily accessible for the individual. Many bus routes were change to help residency with some form of exercise. This contribution helped the Department of Florida to educate the family such as abuelito, abuelita, mom and dad to become aware of the calories of the intake of food.

La cumbre comenzó con una cálida bienvenida e introducción de la mujer graciosa y talentosa  Annie Erstling. Director de Medios sociales. Poco después, presentó a Penny Schaffer, presidente del Mercado, otro grande orador y otra mujer talentosa que dio una visión general de lo que se esperaba. 
Próxima Jeffrey Lagomacini de la ciudad de Hialeah, explicó la asociación importante que se desarrolló entre la ciudad de Hialeah y Florida Blue para abrazar a una Florida saludable. Al hacer una investigación, una de las principales causa o raíz del problema en la Florida es la obesidad. Hialeah ha concedido una subvención para ayudar con este problema y muchos cambios se hicieron para ayudar a los residentes mediante la construcción de más parques infantiles, construcción de más mercados de granjeros en lugares favorables por ejemplo cerca de una estación de autobuses que es fácilmente accesible para el individuo. Muchas rutas de autobús se cambio para ayudar a residencia con algún tipo de ejercicio. Esta contribución ayudó al Departamento de Florida para educar a la familia, como abuelito, abuelita, la mamá y el papá a tomar conciencia de las calorías del consumo de alimentos.




Adriana Murillo, Sr. Director of Consumer, Exchange and Multicultural Markets talks about how engage the Hispanic market into Florida marketplace. She is another great speaker who explained several details such as improving patient care and embracing a healthy Florida. She explained how effective her research has been and has accomplished many of her goals but continues to create new goals as needed to keep the Hispanic involved and participating in FLBlue events and striving for a healthy community.

    1. Yes Cara,

      It is going above and beyond for everyone to get their insurance and be aware that once it is close you cannot get insured til the following year. And you will be charged for not having an insurance. It is great to educate the clients.
