Boy, is your naivete showing! They're in business to prop up agents? Somebody holding a gun to your head to write Humana?
When uhc sent their similar email they didn't say anything about group either. I called a representative who also said similar plans for groups were the same 0%. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Did that in 2010, when Nancy Pelosi stated, "Welcome have to pass it before we read it."
Thanks to Milner and Fortress for the past 5 years of guidance.

I'm a P&C guy and this is scary. Does this represent a small portion of your carriers thus it doesn't really matter? Or are your livelihoods literally going away?

Four years ago a number of agents still believed their income would not be drastically impacted. That number has dwindled to the point that (my estimate) 90% of agents have decided 2016 is probably the last year to make a decent income from health insurance.
Look at it this way.
Most states require drivers to have minimum auto insurance coverage. Suppose that changed.
Minimum coverage no longer exists. Everyone must have full coverage including collision and liability with at least $1M limit.
Auto insurance policies must now include free maintenance ........... tires, brakes, oil changes, etc
No more SR-22. Everyone can buy insurance regardless of their risk classification and they cannot be charged more than the rate charged for "good" drivers
The govt will establish an online resource where you can buy auto insurance 24/7 without an agent. And ....... they will use taxpayer dollars to promote this market place and never mention agents.
