LyfeBank Healthcare

You have by now heard about Obamacare and probably have some ideas about it. One group is stepping up to the plate to help cut through some of the confusion. Lee Brillhart, President of LyfeBank in LaConner says they have put together a program called The Healthcare Financial System.

BRILLHART: It's a wide array of healthcare choices , insurance plans, supplemental plans, wellness services. Everything related to healthcare really and we continue to add more content to that to make sure the people are having access to the best possible set of solutions that they can choose from to craft something that works best for them and their family.

LyfeBank recently partnered with the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers to launch the WAWGG Healthcare Marketplace. The marketplace is an online healthcare resource open to all WAWGG members who can access information about unique defined-contribution healthcare programs. But Brillhart says that anyone can contact LyfeBank about their programs.

BRILLHART: You can contact us and we can either direct you to one of our brokers. We can help set you us as well and have your employees work with a broker and it's very simple, The employer can decide how much to put into the accounts. They can decide what categories of employees they want to cover and then we do everything electronically. All of the employees get a payment card so it's easy for them to use the money and it's about as simple as that.
