So we have some health care news. Now what?
Your clients and prospects are wondering what it all means. What do they have to know? What do they have to do? What will it cost them? What’s next?
This is a great opportunity to provide some answers. Leverage news events like these to add value to the lives of the people who follow you. They will appreciate you for sorting it out for them and the next time you write, tweet, post, or otherwise open your mouth, they will be more likely to pay attention.
If you don’t know what to make of everything yourself, there’s plenty of help available. Here’s an article that explains, “How Will the New Health Care Law Affect Me?” Here’s one about, “How Your Business Will Be Affected.” You can use articles like these as a starting point to write your own summary.
You don’t need to write a comprehensive legal analysis (unless your clients are in the health care field or are affected more than most). Give them the who, what, where, when, and why.
But be careful with the why. If you get political, you may alienate a lot of people who put food on your table.
Show people they can trust you. Give them the facts. Help them understand.
