Your Covered: With Frank Ruppen

  1. Your Covered: With Frank Ruppen Christopher MacLellan "The Bow Tie Guy" on the Whole Care Network 31:55

 On Tuesday February 19th at 1:00 pm EST  we welcome Frank Ruppen from ‘You’re Covered Insurance Services’ to our show. 
Understanding Life, Health and Long Term Care Insurance can be complex.  This has been exacerbated with the passing of the Affordable Care Act. 
Through Frank’s hands on approach to educating and ensuring his clients understand  and have the proper coverage at the best rates, Frank will help us all ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’  by sharing his expertise on all the upcoming changes with the Affordable Care Act. 

 

You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."

When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.

We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
