Brian Hegarty liked thisBrian Hegarty liked thisFor Woman, Life, Liberty - Rana Mansour I translated Iranian singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour’s hit song “Baraye” to English 🕊 Being American-born myself but raised by Iranians parents who left during the revolution, I purposely made it my own to reflect my experiences as an Iranian born outside of Iran and never having been to Iran. I do encourage everyone to listen to the original, but this is the point of covers: all songs belong to all the people 🙏🏽 let’s please help spread the word to the western world about his amazing work 🌎 they arrested him for writing this song while living in Iran. #mahsaamini #مهسا_امینی #shervinhajipour #زن_زندگی_آزادی #womanlifefreedom For dancing in the allies and the streets, For the thrill and the fear of getting caught kissing For my sister, my brother, and unity For all the times we tried to change their minds and stale beliefs For the loss of pride, and poverty For the dream of just a normal life for you and me For all the children who are starving for a loaf of bread For the greed of politics and all the lies they spread For all the mass-polluted air we breathe, For all the litter in the streets and all the dying trees For all the animals who suffer from elimination For all the cats and dogs who love us without no conditions For all the tears that seem to never end For all the images that keep on turning in our heads For a simple smile, for just a little while For the future generations fighting for their time For empty promises of heaven in the after-life For all the imprisonment of beautiful minds For all the babies who are born and for the ones who died For all the times you told the truth, and all the times you lied For all the speeches that we heard about a million times For all the shacks and shelters that were sold to make a dime For just a glimpse of a peaceful life, For the rising of the sun after an endless night For all the pills we pop just to get some sleep For all mankind, for our country For all the boys and girls who never knew equality For woman, for life, liberty. https://lnkd.in/giKpNRtVFor Woman, Life, Liberty (Baraye) - Shervin Hajipour/Rana MansourFor Woman, Life, Liberty (Baraye) - Shervin Hajipour/Rana Mansour

Open enrollment season is around the corner, and it's starting with a bang! Health Net is exiting California and will no longer offer small-group and large-group medical plans as of 2/28/27. Groups with December renewals should start exploring other carriers, networks, plan options, and new doctors/providers. We're also starting to receive group renewals and are already seeing the usual premium increases across carriers and the broader market. These cost spikes are hitting businesses of every size, in every state, forcing employers to rethink their benefits strategy. For some, that means exploring completely new carriers, deductibles, and plan designs. Some employers have had Health Net and grandfathered plans for 30+ years. For others, it's about adjusting metal tiers, Platinum to Gold, or Gold to Silver, to reduce costs while employees maintain access to the same provider networks and preferred doctors. The good news: competitive options still exist. Minor, strategic adjustments like metal tier changes, leveraging level-funded plans, and fine-tuning employer contributions can lead to meaningful savings without sacrificing provider network access, coverage quality, or employee retention. At The Balaban Group, we've spent 40 years helping business owners secure flexible, affordable group health plans tailored to any team's size, needs, industry, and budget. ✔️ Fully customized benefit options ✔️ PPO, HMO, EPO, PEO, and HSA-compatible plans ✔️ Ongoing support: enrollment, claims, billing, and direct contact with the carrier. We do the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Whether you're navigating renewals or shopping for a new group medical plan for the first time, we're here to support business owners and HR leaders looking for informed, cost-effective solutions this season. www.balaban.com
