GOP Plan To After 401(k) Accounts ‘A Trap,’ Consultant Says

By user InsuranceNewsNet

The 2017 LIMRA Annual Conference ended with former House Speaker John Boehner giving his take on the state of the Trump administration. Here is a sampling of tweets from his presentation.

“You can’t repeal Obamacare because it’s been around too long.” @SpeakerBoehner #2017LIMRAAC

The conference included reflections on the industry by CEO Robert Kerzner, who is retiring at the end of 2018. Also on tap for the final day of the convention were remarks from Washington lobbyist and consultant Tom Crawford, who spoke on the state of the current administration and its effects on Americans' financial health. An industry CEO panel rounded out the day's events.

Here is a sampling of tweets from the conference.
