Is Medicare Advantage the Future?

[rmhaire]

But who are these MAOs you speak of? I have never met one. Certainly not in this forum.

Yet you just responded to one.

But tell me this. You responded to a joke I made to @BALDELMO. Had nothing to do with you. So what lit the fuse to your tampon?

Why can't you just say the name of who you are referring to. You said they were about to swarm the forum.
I haven't seen any MAOs on this forum. Who are you referring to?

I'm not about to name anyone on here. At this point it would similar to computerized gossip and I don't play that.

And who said that anyone was going to swarm the forum. Not me. Here's exactly what I said:

You've done it now. The mao's are going to be on the war path. If you need a place to hide out for a few days let me know.

And again, it was a joke directed at @BALDELMO and had nothing to do with you.

Time to move on.

Go sell a medsupp so I can steal the business from you again

I don’t feel like a MAO. Pretty sure I offer more plans then 95% of the agents on this forum beings I have Cost Plans to offer along with 22 MA plans and many Med Sup companies.

That all sounds right to me.

One thing is constant...change. So true.

As for ACA, I've gotten away from it totally in 2018-ish...I can't stand it. Just a personal preference.

That's awesome though that it worked out for you. These are great things to hear. Last I knew there was just one company in my area that paid a decent commish. Priority. And I am not that interested in doing it. I will help if it's already someone I know or someone already a client or referral, but I am definitely not looking for new clients anymore.

There are about 45 agents built back up in our organization (over the past ten years without me). Most of those DO choose to do ACA, and I'm more than happy to refer out new ACA clients to them.

True on that, most clients in the pre- ACA were at least middle to upper-middle and healthy socioeconomic sphere, and most did buy life, other ancillaries. Only a few of mine were in the super high upper echelon.

Still today I have a nice niche of people on one of my favored plans that's hung in there, for people who do not qualify for subsidies (mostly, but not all, unmarried high earning men--for a reason--with gender difs they tended to get those plans more--please don't cancel culture me for saying that...lol..might be my own bias idk lol). United Health (Golden Rule 100 percent plan that had the decreasing deductible). Also, a good bunch have HSAs. But, over the past few years those premiums started to rise. I've left them there for now, bc the next step wouldn't be more suitable. I have only looked a few times, and very recently due to a big premium hike, and these people are happy for now. Luckily, I have had only a few people complain about the hikes. And those few are very very close to 65 and Medicare. So there's that...

My apologies, I got off-topic, maybe on purpose. I stay away from politicking. That has landed me in hot water in the form of a drunk tank back in 2017. True shameful story. I was out one night on a rare occasion, talking about ACA and Obama with strangers, bellied up at a bar in a casino. Speaking of casinos, I want to recommend you a website with the best selection of online games, where you will forget about boredom and have a great time! Temperatures got heated and heavy. That night went seriously wrong. My fault of course, and it turned out to be a life-changing event. I've since learned to stay away from alcohol and politicking.

Thanks for sharing Yagent, I did take it in and always do...Fyi, back years ago when I never posted on here, I was reading still and remember you being on here many years back...with helpful info.

Time to go to the office and switch gears to my other job....tomr back to this job. I love the variety, actually. Just not ACA. LOL.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and reflections; they provide valuable lessons about the importance of adaptability, self-reflection, and continually striving for congruence between personal values and professional endeavors.

No one talks like this. Once again sounds like AI generated gobblie gook.

Isn't it less complicated to imagine that regulatory capture explains more of the current state of US health coverage generally, & Medicare options specifically, than all of this convoluted/improbable "gummint controls everything, yahhh!!" rationale? I mean, follow the money

 

[gregj]

your "theory" is wobbly, but has so many tangled strands it's too much of a pain in the rear to engage with it.

Your weird notion that the afflicted are the "enemy" you most need to be concerned are swindling you, rather than the afflicters, seems out of character for someone who otherwise seems so level-headed. Just to remind you, the latter are the ones holding the fountain pens....the former, mostly people mostly like you & me.
