Does everyone really realize how close we are to being put out of business as brokers?
A Gov health care system for the so called un insured will crush us. Of the un insured I would guess about 1/3 of them are the ones that need a true intervention.
Right now with the new SCHIP rules a house hold of 4 earning under $63,000 a year can put their kids on the states plan.
I think the Gov. really needs to market the plans that are already available.
If there is a Gov health plan to so call keep the Private companies in check it will destroy the private market. You can kiss good bye all the small regional carriers that are renting networks. So then we will end up with 3 carriers maybe 4 for the entire county. What happens then?
I would feel a lot better if I knew what the goal of the Gov health plan is. Is it to insure the un insured? Is it eliminate the health insurance burden on doing business? Is it to eliminate all private carriers? Whatever private plan they come up with how are they going to pay for it?
As a health insurance broker I realize that there is a 50% chance I will be out of business come next year. Ten years of eating buckets of shits to get and keep clients will be flushed down the toilet.
