After two sound rejections of proposed property tax increases by voters, the City of Amarillo is still trying to figure out how to repair our aging parks and recreational facilities, hire more cops, and repair City streets.

Here's an idea: Pay less for health care!

Before we shut down the Zoo, or one of the golf courses, why don't we better manage our pharmacy costs, imaging costs, and outpatient surgery costs? There's a few million hiding in broad daylight that could be saved just in these three key areas.

If you live or work in , I hope you'll read and share this blog with others. We can solve these problems, but not with the mindset that nothing can be done about high health care costs.

In early November, the citizens of Amarillo voted down, once again, Proposition A, which would have raised property tax rates by historical amounts.  That marked the second time the Amarillo voters denied attempts to significantly raise taxes.  The revenues from this historic tax increase, while v...

Quick question…
Have you ever thought about why your customers chose hire you over your competitors?

It’s likely because you know your job like the back of your hand, you know the ins and the outs of policies, regulations, procedures, how and why something is done a specific way, they have trust in you… They rely on you to know your job, do it with excellence each and every time, because you are the expert in your field. In one way or another, you provide them something that your competition can’t.

That’s exactly what it means to have Butler Benefits as your healthcare consultant…

We’re someone you can rely on for the daunting tasks you don't quite understand, someone you can go to for claim issues, someone who can walk you through the unexpected medical emergencies, someone you can trust… that’s on YOUR side and so much more! We’re the experts in our industry!

Our core strength is our willingness to think and act differently to provide innovative solutions to our clients not just more insurance. Selling insurance doesn’t make us relevant, to anyone. Our priority and focus will be on what differentiates us, not what makes us the same as everyone else.

What makes you different from your competition?
