I know the media's moved on to Lindsay Lohan's disastrous court hearing, but does anyone outside of our industry even care anymore about the mess we've been left with?

I've been wandering this wilderness for years, warning we should take care of our own problems before the suits do, but this seems like a case of the exception proving the rule.

I'm not sure where to begin, so I thought I'd try to cover as much ground as possible before it starts snowing again.

There's little question we've expanded (or will expand) coverage. Problem is, it couldn't come at a worse time.

Right now, we're seeing a distinct lack of leadership on both sides of the aisle, so it's ultimately up to us.

Health care reform might be law, but there's so much left unresolved (and unlitigated) that it's virtually irrelevant.

My conversations with brokers here over the past two days teemed with hope and untapped potential.
