Great article giving both sides of the argument for the role of the agent. Notice the comments about someone willing to pay a fee in exchange for value

"The exchange pays brokers a flat fee of $37 per month for each individual they help enroll."

That would be the right thing to do.

"The exchange pays brokers a flat fee of $37 per month for each individual they help enroll."

As I currently sell Part D cards for @ $25, I'm very excited about $37! This is good news.

Of course, if it were $37, would insurance carriers provide brokers with embedded links to their products like they do now. Would quote engines be able to link with the Exchanges? If so, and the $37 stands, brokers will be happy and the real winner will be the consumer.

Renewals should be around $10 as well.

$444 a year to sell "free/subsidized health plans"?

I'm skeptical.

So we'll get paid $37.00 for helping someone decide between 3 choices...1. Bronze 2. Silver 3. Gold. I wonder what kind of personalities will need help with this decision?
