MINNEAPOLIS, July 26, 2006
– Lighthouse1, a leading provider of consumer driven health

solutions, today announced it will
sponsor the popular Internet talk radio
show, “The Benefits Buzz: Inside Health

The Benefits Buzz debuted in 2005 in response to VoiceAmerica
listeners’ desire for health
care-related programming. With the
alphabet soup of employee benefits in
the marketplace today, the show quickly
became a hit by simply helping listeners
– who range from health care
administrators to the average consumer –
decipher myth from fact. As a call-in
show, listeners are encouraged to
participate, which often fuels the
discussion and even debate.
Host Sharon Alt is not a medical practitioner, but a health
insurance professional with over 15
years of experience. Her guests are
leading insurance industry insiders, as
well as high-ranking government
officials.
“VoiceAmerica and The Benefits Buzz
align perfectly with our goals of
expanding the nation’s health care
conversation and providing insight
around the important topics,” said Jeff
Fritz, CEO of Lighthouse1. “Lighthouse1
is pleased to help shape this season and
deliver informative yet
thought-provoking programming.”
Health care industry expert Greg
Scandlen kicks off the season with Alt
on August 1. Scandlen is the founder of
Consumers for Health Care Choices, a
non-partisan, non-profit membership
organization aimed at empowering
consumers in the health care system.
Scandlen is an accomplished writer,
researcher, and public speaker and
considered one of the nation’s experts
on health care financing, insurance
regulation and employee benefits.
Scandlen has also signed on for a
monthly Washington update on the last
Tuesday of the month. Other upcoming
