Will Brokers Still Be Needed? Less Than 1% Signed Up

[DS4]

Only the government can provide a guarenteed product and it take 35 screens to get issued.

My first year selling health ins was in 1978. The app/health statement was 4 pages. Now there are no health questions and the app is 35 to95 pages. Just shoot me

Dave,

Are those leads for IFP too, or just SHOP?

How many screens for federal?

 

[Nikita]

How many screens for an individual with MAGI below 400% FPL?

 

[Duaine]

Hourslong effort to sign up for health coverage ends emptyhanded.

Look at my username (Yagents)
Look at when I joined the forum (6 months after the law passed)
I've knew long ago, agents would be part of the solution (That's why I've been a student of the law)
I have yet to speak to someone that could do this on their own

Outlawing the term "broker" is a bit too far

Confirmed that CMS will not release any data on how many have already enrolled.

Although I am not a fan of union's, it is too bad there isn't a national union for broker/agents and we just tell the govt we are on strike and let's see them handle this the first year.

I like your idea. People think obamacare and ACA are different. People truly don't have a clue.

If this thing worked the way it should, it should ask your SSN, query all the applicable agencies, and provide a page with all the information they have on you. You get the chance to change whatever is inaccurate (i.e. had a child, got a raise at work, moved recently, etc). Choose a plan, click agree, and they mail you a bill.

It should only take 2-5 minutes. They're intentionally making it more difficult than ever.
