Didn't the republicans invent Medicare Advantage?

Clinton started it in 1997 but sort of fizzled out until the Medicare act of 2003 by Bush.

Guy Fieri is going to head up the school lunch program. Once P. Diddy is pardoned he will be heading up the after school programs. I think Trump may have James Franco in mind for a key educational appointment. Trump said the guy reads a lot, and he really liked him in Pineapple express...thinks he will do a great job..winning.

You obviously didn’t get the memo . I’d say 95% of agents don’t wait 48 hrs . Everything’s a call in or they came to my office

Not once have we done a 48 hour scope, the carriers don't care.

Peeps here with alot of MAPD apples in cart dont want to hear that but Its coming I agree.

The Med Adv wont go away but
In house carrier agents will be getting these beneficiaries bc they are paid base salary and bonus on any new enrollments. The brokers were not here in 2005 then the flood gates opened and much regulation for bad actors.

The pork fat is going to get cut and brokers will be a thing of the past bc this is a govt program.

I don’t think you’re wrong but so what. Not like we went to school for years and years and have so much invested into being an agent. What other Job can you take a class, pass a test and make a nice living? When it happens we move on. Not a big deal.

MAPD is being snuffed out by doctors all across the country. When the book ledger goes red who do you thinks gonna lose their golf memberships? Shuttle rides? 3k hearing aids? OTC cards? 1k dental plans? Gym memberships?

COMMISIONS?????

We’ve gone from insurance to an all inclusive resort vacation for Boomers.

Folks that think this FREE party is going to keep going are fools. There is NO money to keep the propped up any more.

Trump: Back to insuring seniors party is over throw out the cake.

Thats exactly the first move to becoming a “in house” takeover from brokers imo. What we see with alot
Of these telesales outfits can just as easily be moved to “in house” w all these doctors abandoning MAPD scrabbling beneficiaries get calls. Their local “in house” agents of facility coverages are gobbling up books of business. I see it happening w my lil book. Humana iis the first sign of this in Ohio. The local facility (Lewis OH) has their own program stealing Humana beneficiaries that are losing doctors.

Its coming sooner than I thought.

I’m talking about groups like GoHealth, SelectQuote, eHealth, etc. Although in some cases, yes, they are doing BPO type services on behalf of a specific carrier. But when they do it, the prices are stupid high. Basically the same as paying a multi line broker.

And none of those call centers have yet found any credible path to sustainability. They're money pits with tons and tons of debt and all sorts of legal risks to also manage.

Wow! You guy's get your undies in a wad up in hear like the FEX folks...

All I know is that the media was trusted to get the election right... sooo I guess we should also trust them to get Trump's leadership pics and policy directions correct as well.

Keep drinking the kool-aid... a logical position for illogical thinking people.
