Looks like agents will be facing more blame, oversight, and additional hours of repetitive (non-CE) training.
When will these people understand that you can't substitute regulatory oversight (states do it best) with classroom ethics training. They need to give back the regulatory powers to the states and then we will see a real crack down of abusive agents.
The states should regulate agents and the Feds should regulate the MA carriers.
Let's end this Federal facade.

"For example, CMS has allowed agents representing Medicare Advantage and Part D plans to cold call beneficiaries unless they are on the national do-not-call list. By cold-calling, I mean calling a beneficiary without that person expressing interest in the product ahead of time."
