It's Official! No Commission Paid On Exchange Policies After 2014

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

Aetna AND UnitedHealthOne just issued a joint statement (I'll provide the link) and others will certainly follow.

It reads (in part): "When state exchanges are enacted in 2014, no compensation will be paid to brokers marketing our individual health products. Instead, we will pay a one-time payment of $50 if the applicant signs a statement in advance of the application submitted that clearly states broker assisted them in purchasing the product. Only "Bronze" policies will be eligible for this payment. 4-1-10

I'm about to run a facebook post to all 500+ people I have on friends about how obama just vetoed the health care bill linked up to a rickroll video..

Interesting.
I think I said this about a year ago. I didn't really think I'd be right. In fact, I said it so I could be proven wrong.

Any luck with the link?

P.S. I guess I'm glad I primarily focus on P&C. I'm also interested if this will apply to group, or if that will continue on a commission basis.

Well its good I dont use those two carriers....but if this is the trend, this sucks.

I wonder if Repubs are gonna campaign on repealing, and then give us the finger when they get back in congress??

Great, two of my main health carriers!
I already dont do much health insurance, but this will really put the nails in the coffin!
Not a huge surprise though.

You guys are too easy. Look at the date of Chump's statement.

And the republicans should campaign on amending the health bill, not repealing it.
Or if they push repeal, they need a viable & well communicated alternative!

Heres a question for everyone:
The republicans kept on saying that they had an alternative to obamacare; can anyone tell me exactly what it was???
I pay attention to politics much more than most, and I only know of one or two points of the republican plan.....

Well its good I dont use those two carriers....but if this is the trend, this sucks.
