Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Supports the Farmers Health Cooperative

"This health insurance cooperative provides a pooling opportunity that farmers don’t currently have,” said Bill Bruins, president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. “We applaud the Wisconsin Federation of Cooperatives for their hard work to pull this health care cooperative together.”

Comments from Doug Wilson, Manager, Cooperative Resources International, Shawano

“I’ve worked with ASA for many years in states across the country and we’ve been very pleased with that relationship. ASA has a strong customer-service focus. They have a 24-hour service desk and you always get a live body at the other end of the phone. The person answering the phone is well-trained and incredibly helpful at answering questions and addressing your needs.” “ASA really values their relationship with their customers, especially farmers. Whenever you give them feedback, they follow-up promptly and address issues quickly, and then get back in touch with you to let you know the job is done.” “Since ASA is part of a co-op, they understand cooperatives and how to serve rural communities and their people. ASA operates under cooperative principles. They work hard and are great to do business with.”

Comments from FHCW Member Randy Endres of Waunakee:

"I checked out the Farmers' Health Cooperative because I needed coverage in case anything happened to me while I was working on our farm.  It was easy to get information about the co-op's health plans, and the customer service staff did a great job by answering my questions quickly and making the options easy to understand.  I asked the insurance agent that sold my current policy to me about Farmers' Health Cooperative of Wisconsin, and he recommended I join because it offered the best health benefits for the price."
