I've never seen that little blurb on the bottom. Maybe CMS is starting to crack down on SEP's. Which would be a good thing. Of course the same rules will not apply to call center agents, just the independent.
and in house agents . . . or SHIP counselors . ..
@Duaine I had no idea you were writing Medicare plans during/after the War of Northern Aggression.

CMS agents can get away with anything as well. And over half at 1-800-Medicare are newly trained and have little clue what they are doing.

Well. I married a gal from Alabama and grew-up in Missouri. My ancestors burn down Lawrence, Ks in a raid. When I first met my wife she told me that there were three types of Yankees. Yankees, Damn Yankees and G^d-Damm Yankees! And here's the real story about General Lee and General Grant at Appomattox:

On August 21, 1863, Captain William C. Quantrill and about 450 Confederate guerrillas, also known as "Bushwhackers", raided Lawrence, Kansas, burning a quarter of the town and killing at least 150 men and boys. The attack, also known as Quantrill's raid or the Lawrence Massacre, was the result of ongoing tensions between local abolitionists and pro-slavery partisans along the Missouri-Kansas border. Quantrill, who had previously lived and taught school in Lawrence, targeted prominent individuals, including abolitionist U.S. Sen. Jim Lane, a leading jayhawker.
The raiders surprised the town's sleeping residents at dawn, executing civilians and looting valuables. They burned all businesses except for two, looted most of the banks and stores, and gained control of a building that became Quantrill's headquarters. By 9 AM, the raiders were leaving Lawrence.
The Lawrence raid was the most infamous operation of Missouri's Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War. It has been depicted in several works of popular culture, including the 2005 miniseries Into the West and the 1999 film Ride with the Devil.
