At The Plexus Groupe, we're fascinated by all things insurance. And we can't read enough about the subject. With this in mind, here are five insurance-related stories we're reading and sharing as January winds down:  
 -- **[Robot insurance agents](http://www.cnet.com/news/your-next-insurance-agent-will-be-a-robot/)**? A Massachusetts-based startup company wants to make it a reality.

-- A Ukraine power outage caused by hackers has U.S. utility companies taking a closer look at their **[cyber liability coverage](http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2016/01/29/396796.htm?print)**.

-- Reminder: individuals have through Sunday, January 31 to get **[health coverage](https://www.healthcare.gov/quick-guide/)**or face a tax penalty.

-- Here's a thoughtful Harvard Business Review essay that makes the case for **[wage insurance](https://hbr.org/2016/01/why-the-u-s-needs-wage-insurance)**.

-- The states of Oregon and Alaska are prohibiting a **[health insurance carrier](http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/34005591-75/oregon-alaska-suspend-activity-by-health-insurance-firm.html.csp)** from issuing new policies or renewing existing ones.
