NO Commissions on Fed Exchange W/ Subsidy

[Yagents]

I'll top that, by law, commissions and plan prices have to be the same in and outside the exchange on a similar product/plan. So, if all these people the same age/zip own a bronze BCBS plan:

Joe is off exchange and pays $500 w/ NO subsidies
Jill is on exchange and pays $250 w/subsidies
Billy Bob is on exchange and pays $50 w/subsidies

Tell me what the commission is? The SAME

In pa, if you sign someone now,to the state plan, commission 0.

yes, well if the govt pulls that now with hcr they will have a bunch of low paid, poorly skilled, no experience navigators enrolling every single subsidy person.... good luck with that....

If there is only 1 state plan, then of course $0. If there is only 1 insurer on the exchanges, then of course we are done. If that happens, it's called single payer.

Also, the PA state plan didn't put their entire political careers behind the plan, nor are they putting billions behind the marketing effort, nor is the plan's success based upon how many people actually join.

Obamacare is a bust and a lost election if they don't get this right, and they now realize they need every agent on board with them to help them. I am ready to help the democrats make this a successful launch (smoooooch)

but if a carrier opts out of selling product on HIX, then . . . . . .

Then, they only have to meet the MLR. One company I had lunch with told me that's exactly what they are doing so they can pay higher commissions outside the exchange.

I kinda like playing the straight man. I set them up and you supply the punch line.
