Jody Dietel's Story: Relied on Flexible Spending Account to Take Control of Her Health Care

Five years ago, Jody Dietel was 200 lbs heavier. She suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma. A flexible spending account helped her, along with millions of other Americans, to budget and pay for office visits and prescription drugs.

Way to go Jody! Didn't recognize you! Glad you're trying to save our flexible benefits plans as they are a God send for those who understand and use them! Take care!

She may be an industry executive, but she's also a regular human being with health problems like many other Americans. I personally know Jody and have had the pleasure of hearing her speak on several occasions at various ECFC Conferences on Cafeteria Plans. She was obese the last time I saw her several years ago. Don't prejudge people based on their occupation, they still have needs like everyone else.

Jody Dietel is an industry executive--not a disinterested American talking about health care reform. She's the compliance officer for WageWorks, which she founded and headed as Creative Benefits. Astroturfing at its finest...
