OLYMPIA — State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler appointed Phil Castell, owner of Castell Insurance in Sequim, to the Life and Disability Agent/Broker Advisory Committee.
Castell attended his first meeting in November.
“Topics under discussion and review were the role that agents and brokers would have under the Affordable Care Act,” said Castell.
“The Affordable Care Act will have some major portions become effective in 2013. Legislative efforts were discussed and input from attendees was provided.
“I was most impressed by the caliber of the employees I met, as well as their grasp of the highly complex subjects which will affect every single resident of the state to one extent or the other in the next few years.”
Castell added:
“This meeting really opened my eyes to the whole health insurance industry and to what a valuable service the Office of the Insurance Commissioner provides to protect residents of our state.
“It is also a valuable resource for both insurance agents and consumers alike.”
Castell Insurance is an independent insurance agency located at 426 E. Washington St. that is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
