Not Even One Word About Agents Helping Clients

Duaine, quit worrying. I don't think this is going to hurt anyone. Think about it, who the hell wants to deal with the gov? Run a campaign letting people know you can help with health care reform.
 
I'm finding that most of my health clients say something along the line of "Tell me what to do this fall."

They don't really have the interest or inclination to learn all about the ACA. We do. We spend a lot of time learning this stuff, here and otherwise.
 
The administration feels that most people hate agents and prefer working directly with a government website. They have polls to prove it.

Whatever.

Most people I know would prefer a private market over a shopping in a govt market any day.

I agree wholeheartedly with ctg's post above.
 
Like I said in the "HHS competing with Agents" thread, the government will get a few million people to forgo using an agent, due to the way the new healthcare.gov website is being structured to capture people. But that's OK.

I'm looking forward to gloating over the statistics after the initial open enrollment period is over. I wager that agents will enroll MORE QHP insureds than any of the other available methods (Navigator, Assister, 800#, UncleSam, etc.).

I predict the carriers selling inside the exchanges that have the most success will use agents.

In Indiana we have 2 of the 4 carriers using the agent distribution model.
I have not idea how the others are going to get any traction.
I don't think they know and judging by the people they hired they will have difficulties.
