Guest blog by Hannah Ries, OCI Vice President of People & Culture About a year ago, the executive team at OCI started to reevaluate the Why behind what we do. We had an in-depth dive into a lot of different ideas from helping protect the general public to increasing our bottom line. While

The administration has released new rules for the short-term policies. We knew this was coming but I was surprised that they will allow renewal for up to three years. These are a fantastic alternative to the expensive plans available through Affordable Care Act. Now that they have been released, the critics are up in arms
