Frontline

[Nttwrkz LLC]

Hey,

I was watching Frontline and the story was about the healthcare industry in the US. The state of Mass is requiring everyone in their state to get health insurance and I'm curious to know how have the health agents of Mass benefitted from this extrordinary measure. I thinink health and life insurance should be madatory, just like auto insurance. It's a shame how society puts value on materialistics stuff and not life itself. If measures are taking to mandate health and life insurance, how will we benefit?.. I wonder.

With the current political trend, I suspect the agent's role in healthcare will be further minimalized and rechanneled toward state run programs. We are pretty much eliminated from Medicare now. How long before life and health come under such scrutiny? As Orwellean as it seems, we may all be working under the "state" as cloned enrollers...

MA healthcare is tough....www.mahealthconnector.org
Great if your sick, bad if your healthy
As is several other segments like auto.

I know during my previous stint with the Evil Kool Aid Empire (you all know who I am talking about) the agents in MA made a killing selling one of the most watered down versions of their already watered down plans because everyone was required to get coverage. After the initial deadline passed the sales dropped out of the bottom.

It never seems to amaze me how politicians, the MSM, carriers and agents want to believe mandated coverage is a cure all.

If people can't afford, or think they can't afford, health insurance now how will things change if it is mandated?

Simple answer, it won't.

Covering (almost) everyone vs. covering 84% of the population does not lower the cost of health care or corresponding health insurance premiums.

Mandated auto insurance has not lowered the cost of auto insurance. Neither has it lowered the cost of health insurance in Massachusetts.
