Seeking examples of good vision statements. If you think your
company has one, please let me know what it is and offer a few
lines to explain. Include your name, website, title, and company
to be quoted. Important: a mission statement is different than a
vision statement. Please submit vision statements only.
A Mission Statement defines the company's business, its
objectives and its approach to reach those objectives. A Vision
Statement describes the desired future position of the company.
Elements of Mission and Vision Statements are often combined to
provide a statement of the company's purposes, goals and values.
Examples: Alzheimer's Association: A world without Alzheimer's
disease. Teach for America: One day, all children in this nation
will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.

I'm working on an article that addresses the question of whether
or not health insurance covers COVID-19 treatment -- this would
apply to people who are both outpatient and inpatient. Are
doctor's visits and hospital stays generally covered? What about
medications to treat COVID? I imagine it varies depending on
what type of insurance a person has, but I'm curious to see if
there's a trend or common thread, and if there's anything people
should know or be aware of in case they do catch COVID and need
to rush to get treatment.
Requirements:
Insurance agents and brokers working with COVID patients to
speak about whether or not health insurance is covering
treatment and, if so, how much and what insurance info should
people have handy so they don't have to deal with insurance
calls if they get sick
