Catherine Collingwood EstesIf this is like some other #FarmBureau health plans (i.e., a #MEWA) then it IS subject to regulation. Just not STATE regulation. #AssociationPlans #ERISA https://buff.ly/4hLbuTz
Worth watching: #BCBSAL is fighting to stop a legislative proposal allowing Alfa and #FarmBureau to offer health-care coverage to families and small businesses that would save on premiums. #Alabama #Monopoly #opinion #MEWA https://buff.ly/3CL1KK2

“House Majority PAC — a super PAC aligned with House Democrats — says they plan to hold "accountable" several House Republicans who face potentially competitive reelection bids in 2026. "Multiple vulnerable House Republicans representing tens of thousands of farms are now standing by as Trump freezes hundreds of millions of dollars of funding that American #farmers were promised," the memo reads” #bryanmetzger @[email protected] @[email protected] https://www.businessinsider.com/house-majority-pac-trump-funding-freeze-farmers-swing-districts-2025-2
@DonnaG @USAToday overlooked in va too. #farmbureau #youngfarmers went down to help a few weeks later when the “fog of storm” had lifted and specific farmers had specific needs. I let rep #spanberger know (because ag conservation subcomm chair) that many #riparianbuffer and #livestock fencing to keep em out of streams would have to be redone entirely. She got it immediately and set to work with nrcs #usda
VocalDerbyGuySo I haven't thought about #FarmBureau in years. But in a couple days I am finding out this #Insurance #lobbyist group is working to help #Bayer slash #Monsanto keep its grip on #agribusiness by lobbying to save Roundup. And it's trying to get itself part of #deregulatedmarkets through the #Missouri legislature.
