Health reform: Where things stand - Jul. 31, 2009
What happens to agents under the proposed legislation? Nothing until 2013.

So Ed, what's your move ... back to writing P&C, or are you going to become a Med Supp guy?
I'm with you on an exit plan. I'm not waiting to get legislated on. I'm going to be adding a few more arrows to my quiver.

I would love to go back to writing P&C. I was a big writer from 1980-2000. But there was no Geico and the internet was the same as it is now.
From what I hear, not too may people click on "Apply Now" when it comes to auto insurance. Maybe I'm just spoiled.
But if we have until 2013...Yahoo!

It's grim
No matter what happens there will be serious changes in the health industry.
I have met with a PC group to look at my options with them along with a 401k outfit.
I am in the process of re negotiating my life insurance commission with different GA's. So far I have been offered 95% across the board which includes DI. I think DI could be a huge selling policy if we have some type of Gov health plan for most people.
Another aspect of employee benefits I am reviewing is all ancillary products. If a gov option is put in place most groups will drop their health plan. STD, LTD, Dental, vision , Life and LTC products could be huge. Not only would large groups but small group too.
The way BO is handling the economy there might not be anyone left to buy insurance products. If we get to the point where only 5% of the population has disposable income it won't matter what your selling.

I think the association's concept is fantastic. For one, they have full access to your bank account. At the end of the month money is taken from the successful agents and given to the ones who didn't write any business. It's only fair.

I'd advise against joining Chumps' association... it used to be good back in the day, but it's just gotten so big that Chumps doesn't care about the little guy anymore...
