I have chilled for awhile. On this issue my judgment has not changed.
He requested that I appoint him, in writing, as my agent to cancel my current medicare supplement IMMEDIATELY, prior to both the policy being issued and its effective date. (And for your insurance agent training, there IS a difference between approval of coverage and having a policy issued and in force. (I just had a very expensive and inconvenient lesson about that.))
That was and is:
Irresponsible
Unethical
In violation of Medicare rules
In violation of new carrier contract terms
Probably in violation of new carrier agency agreement
In other words, very bad behavior towards his customer.
