I am SO SHOCKED..!! Nearly 7 in 10 Medicare Beneficiaries Did Not Compare Plans During Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period

[straightnochaser]

Because . . . .

They don't understand what they have . . .
They don't know where to get easy to understand information . . .
The volume of information is overwhelming . . .
When they seek help they get a sales pitch that does not answer their questions . . .
Agents can't/won't explain the nuances . . .
Agents prefer to talk about getting more free stuff for $0 . . .
Agents can't explain how managed care works . . .
Agents are woefully underpaid . . . LOL
Agents are paid to churn & poach vs service their existing client base . . .

So many assumptions from someone who's not in the MAPD business at all.

Not assumptions . . . observations from talking with folks who contact me and starting the conversation with . . . "Don't try to sell me an Advantage plan."

Just because I CHOOSE not to sell a product does not mean I don't understand it. I probably understand it better than many of the folks that peddle MA plans.
