GoHealth is doing the SMART thing and "following the money" to Group sales and service.
Story: Obamacare questions lead web insurance broker GoHealth to employer health market
Perhaps GoHealth has learned in advance that Individual Health commissions will be few and far between for 2017.

Latest study: Premiums for 2016 metal plans are lower than 2013 pre-metal plans.

Apparently my state is backwards in more ways than I thought. Illinois premiums are much higher today than they were in 2013.

Nope.... spot on.... looks to be only 9% here in the only great state..................................................................................HOWEVER, good luck with that network........one major hospital in Dallas Ft. Worth. WEEEEE!!!!
SHOP is a blinking neon sign of a failure, but they still try to spin it like it's something positive.
3 years out, here's an enrollment report.
They mention NY leading enrollment, but leave out that early projections were looking at 100k businesses and 400k+ employees enrolled.
3 years in, there's 3,700 small groups totaling under 15k employees, less than 4% of their target.
Some of their spins are laughable. "State-run SHOPS report that insurer participation is high, with 13 SHOPs offering coverage options from three insurers or more".
Keep in mind, they don't mean 3 state-wide, or 3 in all counties, they mean 3 total in the state, even if every county only has one option... 4 don't even have that...

SHOP is a joke, I don't know any agents that have actually set up a SHOP policy. I'm absolutely dreading the requirement to migrate my only DC-based group to the DC Health Link state exchange which is a nightmare to deal with. Fortunately they only have about 9 or 10 employees.
