Standardized plans mean nothing.. Medicare has standardized plans and SENIORS are more confused now than ever. They don't know how Medicare works thus the Agent steps in and helps. Most people getting health benefits in America receive them from their employer. When its time for them to purchase on their own..whoa Nelly its like the world is coming to an end and guess what ? the agent steps in to direct them. face it folks when it comes to Health Care most are simply lost.. kinda like me when I look at tax documents, I call my accountant and say here you go, please take care of this.
I'm with you all these knuckle heads telling you to get out of the Indy business makes me laugh. I am a triple threat with IFP, Medicare, and Group and I see first hand a simple system in Medicare and everyone is terribly confused. Quality agents will be needed more here in 12.5 months than ever before.
