Article - "Agents Fight for Their Future"

one thing I'm hoping for is that Carriers will offer alternative plans to the ones the Gubment is requiring them offer. I believe this would help our stance because the consumer would want to know all of his/her options. Whats available to me outside the exchange??? should be interesting to see how the Carriers react.

The government will wire it so that only plans on the exchange (or qualified to be on the exchange even if sold off the exchange) will be eligible for subsidy or tax credit. In addition, the off-the-exchange plan will need to meet the minimum benefit level to meet the mandate to have coverage with a creditable plan. So the "choice" the consumer will face is: do you want that high deductible plan off the exchange (which may not meet the mandated coverage requirement too) or do you want a full plan knowing that once you tinker in the subsidy or the tax credit it is less than or the same cost as the crap plan?

Whether the mandate stands or not is a separate discussion but either way the government is going to use the power of subsidy and tax credit to let you know which plan you want and that is what will move the market. Yes, we know people who will make a point of not doing what the government wants in order to make a point. They aren't going to control the market though particularly since premiums are only going to go up and the demand for relief will be even greater.

When will the fed's subsidize car purchases?

Oh wait, Cash 4 Clunkers where you get $4500 of taxpayer money for your $500 car.

Or food, or housing?

Oh yeah, EBT cards and Section 8.

If they are going to subsidize health insurance up to $80,000 or so of family income then they need to do likewise for food and housing.

How socialist, anti free enterprise and just plain wrong is this?
How bad does it gotta get for the middle before they give this clown the boot? They play off of the public's natural dislike for health ins. while said public, with no clue of the feds actual intent just sit back and wait for the handout. God people are stupid.
Well, if we survive the next two years, hopefully this will get dropped for good although I ain't bank'n on it.
 
I got an internet lead today who was homeless looking for free health insurance. She was literally living in her car. I told her to call Obama for help at the White House. I really did. I first apologized I could not help her, and then told her that if Obama promised to fix this to vote him out next time. I told her I too thought she was going to get free health insurance. She said she didnt vote last time. I told her if she didnt like it that she could not yet get free health insurance to vote next time for someone who wouldn't lie to her.
 
This is why agents must be active in controlling what Washington is pushing onto the American people. Our health care clients appreciate the services we provide them. Most do not have a clue as to how health insurance works, and the important features to consider when shopping and purchasing a policy. As our fore fathers did years ago, we must FIGHT for our FREEDOM or we will loose our FUTURE!
