And the vast majority of seniors have trouble even signing in their email when I need them to, and they're gonna self-enroll using ai??? Not a chance.

With the vast majority of seniors who use you that may be true (and likely some others, I can't speak first hand to that). Most of the senior clients I have are primarily professionals or worked in an organization/company that was not primarily blue collar (although a huge number blue collar jobs do require people to be good at using computers and other technology) - due to my network - who are very competent and computer savvy. I have read that about 30% of seniors sign up themselves not using an agent. Those folks are likely computer savvy and not cognitively impaired.

There certainly is a need for someone to help some of the seniors navigate the technology, the programs or both. But to cast all seniors, as your post seems to do, as needing help and that they can't even deal with signing into an email account isn't an accurate representation of most seniors - especially the younger half to two thirds of the boomers. Most of those, if they were employed, are computer savvy due to their jobs although not all may own computers. At this point computers are so much a part of the work place, and have been so for the last 25-30 years that it is really only the oldest of the boomers or the generation above them who are likely to have less or no experience with much technology.

Of course as some people start to become cognitively impaired those folks will need more help as they age (and most cognitive decline start at age 70 or older although around 33% of people never have much in the way of any significant cognitive decline). And someone has to help them as AI still has a long way to go with anything other than routine tasks. Of course whether or not the government continues to take that into consideration, with respect to whether or not people helping them can earn a decent living doing so, remains to be seen.

Agreed 100%. We don't have jobs because seniors can't navigate technology. We have jobs because insurance is confusing and there are a lot of options.

I do ACA. The majority of my book is under 40 years old. They don't need help navigating the site -- that's the easy part -- they need help understanding their decisions.

I could watch a video on youtube to replace my car's engine, but I'd feel more comfortable driving down the highway knowing a professional did it.

I can't believe thousands of people picked you as their insurance agents. Grow a pair. Grow up.

The latter 50% are correct.

Go back in the thread and notice who always starts the political shit with who. Hint: It's not the Republican side. You can't say anything related to insurance and policy without one of the 3 commie stooges here injecting TDS into everything.
