I'm done with it too buddy. Also, you can't compare your state to others, as we don't have a Cost Plan option. And, stop trying to accuse agents of "scare tactics". I choose to sell, and NOT to sell certain products, and my clients rely on my ADVICE. That's the beauty of being an independent agent. You continue to be a hand holding "shopper", and you'll be replaced by AI real soon. And you never shared with us what products you choose NOT to sell, and why? And Med supp companies could care less about costs, they make their 5% margin regardless. They care about MA costs, as that impacts the bottom line, hence the MA restrictions.
I sell any option available to a Medicare beneficiary in my local zip codes. Have around 22 MAPD's, 8 Med Sup Companies, 1 Cost Plan company, and all the major PDP's. Also use GTL for HI plans. I choose not to offer LTC, disabillity and do very little Life insurance. I like to make my life easy and concentrate on doing the best I can for Medicare clients.
I also offer Obamacare just because they are a slam dunk at age 65 and some will be clients for 30 years plus. Med sup companies could care a less about costs Right.
