At US VetWealth, we often talk about exploring alternative solutions to the Survivor Benefit Plan. Today, we’re taking that same mindset and applying it to healthcare.

Meet Kris and Larry, the partners behind PatriotCare — an organization offering an alternative to TRICARE and traditional health insurance.

While PatriotCare’s website highlights “Healthcare Benefits for Small Businesses & Independent Contractors,” this conversation reveals so much more: the heart and mission behind their work for the military community.

In this first part of our interview, you’ll hear:

* How Larry met Stephanie Brown and became involved with The Rosie Network

* Kris’ journey as a Gold Star Dad to Army Ranger Josh Hager, who was killed in Iraq in 2007

* The story of how PatriotCare came to be

* How PatriotCare provides healthcare that’s available, affordable, and accessible — with real-life examples

* A discussion on the lost art of “asking for the sale” and the power of face-to-face connection

If you’re ready to explore new opportunities and ideas beyond the military and make more confident choices for your next chapter, this episode is for you.

Stay tuned for Part 2!
