Is the New 2025 CMS Rule for Agent compensation actually GREAT news for AGENTS and FMOs?

Aetna is also the ONLY major MA that accepts ONLY an AHIP certification, leaving NABIP in the dust.

Aetna and UHC have their own. No need for AHIP for just those two. I take both and AHIP just for s & giggles

Where is that from and when does it take effect

its a public option that has been discussed for at least 10-15 years now, it used to go by a different name, can't remember the specifics right now, but back in 2009-2010 the great compromise gave birth to Obamacare, with promises that it would progressively and eventually lead to a public option.

Whenever the democrats have control of the white house, and a decent size majority in both houses of Congress, this will will be rebirthed and most likely pass. but the way the political pendulum swings, thats probably another 10-15 years down the road

Agreed. Nowadays most people are VERY awake to the Democrats’ bullcrap racket. They aren’t looking to “help.” They just want total control of everything. In 2010, people didn’t understand this. In 2024, people VERY MUCH understand this. The only ones that would go for something like this is their radical 25-30% base of absolute loony tunes. People want common sense and truth, nowadays. I’m not even some radical Republican. I’m a former Democrat up until like 7 years ago. There’s some things I’m actually liberal about. I just despise what that party has become. Pure evil communist crap.

Maybe...

When Obamacare 1st passed I remember people discussing *the subsidy.*

< The government is going to pay how much? This can't be good, at scale, for the national debt. >

Now, people don't even bat an eye or flinch at $767 or more per month of subsidy to pay for their health insurance.

Of course the government should pay.

Maybe they're more awake but they certainly don't want the handout removed.

Thanks for the heads up. I was going by what I heard on the Agent Boost show.

That subsidy goes away next year unless renewed by Congress

The gift that keeps on giving . . . until the expiration date.

BOOM!

Aetna and UHC don't require AHIP. I didn't take AHIP for 2024, but I'm certified with Aetna and UHC.

This paper describes the incentives for people to misestimate income to qualify for larger subsidies.
