Watch out, here they come, regardless of who wins the election. Now I know why this forum has been so dead. You gotta read this article, as we are about to be broadsided with a slew of new regulations over the coming 2 weeks. It's super bowl time, and I've got beer in hand.

-----------------------------
The once-steady stream of regulations and rules from the Obama administration — instructions for insurance companies, hospitals and states on how to put the law in place — has slowed to a trickle in recent months in an attempt to avoid controversies before the election. Many states, too, have done little public work to avoid making the law an election issue for state officials on the ballot.
And if Romney wins, the need to get the rules out may become even more urgent for Democrats. Any rules or regulations that are not final by Nov. 22 — 60 days before Romney would be sworn in — can be easily put on hold on Jan. 20.
 
When I read earlier today about the coming avalanche of new regulations and mandates, it occurred to me that United Health Care got rid of their 1 year rate guarantee for this reason.

As another forum member said, expect (health) commission advances to stop as well. This will really hurt the new agents who depend on them...although there are probably fewer newbies entering the business now.

Now that Prez. Obama has been re-elected, and HHS is preparing release a boat-load of new regulations and mandates, will many additional companies decide to leave the health insurance industry as a result?
 
Wh o knows...who Cares...just play your hand

TaterPeeler, I can't yet answer the Who Knows and Who Cares question(s). What hand are you playing now that we know that ACA repeal is off the table? I'm staying the course with 70% health and 30% "other" (Life, MedSupp, C.I.).

like i said... play your hand... the hand that we are delt. if some company blows out, let them.

look at it like this.... i have friends, clients and family that are all depressed since the election... they are oh woe is me the country is screwed.... boo hoo.... i say just keep on keepin on

see, elections are nothing more than a sporting event. thats why i enjoy the math and science of the process but once the election is decided i just move on..... that means we are where we are, nothing will change that. if regulations are dumped on us then i just plan to deal with them if companies leave the market, fine one less for me to deal with....

dont fret and wonder over this crap..... just play your hand

Great advice. +1 for sure.
 
What should I do? I'm holding a 2, 4, 7, 9 and a Queen....all different suits.

Play the Q 9 and hope you hit 10 J K.

As regulation comes out, I don't know how liable the broker is going to be. In fact I don't know who is going to be liable. I don't know who is going to enforce the liability.

The carriers are in complete chaos right now. The SBC have turned into a huge nightmare.

Just keep selling! As long as your selling you are still in the game. There is a lot of brokers that are sitting on the bench right now trying to hold on.
