Health/Medical Insurance for Piano Techs?

[Tom Servinsky]

Greg,
Because it's all new territory. I speak for myself, this was a bold step for
our family to make. Quite honestly this is all new to me and I'll feel more
comfortable once we go through a few claims and get the hang of it. But on
the books, you are right, why aren't more taking advantage of this option.
I will look into Golden Rule.
