LGilmore, I hope you renewed your Marketplace certification for 2015. HC.gov will work faster, and you'll have an easier time this Open Enrollment. There's certainly no lack of people who need our help.

Thanks, in WA state. We have our own exchange and I am recertified as you lose your commissions if you don't. A year later, the delivery system still is not fixed, it's about 80% done.
I do get a fair amount of business through referral for individual health, but I don't know how much I will spend in marketing for it until the system works better.
I agree people need agents more than ever with the ACA. Don't know if it was intentional or not, but they created a system that most people really can't DIY.

I disagree with you. First, Insurance is as any other business. You must work to get your clients whether they are P&C or Health. If I open a restaurant...I must work to get customers.
Second, every where Obama Care is put on this forum, you just hate it. If I can speak to you like a sister...then you are not doing something right. You can make excellent of this year.
I would like to remind you, that when Ronald Reagan pushed Medicare through - EVERYONE HATED IT! Today, it is a normal bread-n-butter for us. If you write enough, you get a great salary, including residual.
In all honesty, I REALLY don't know what the State of Texas is like on the ground. But, for the love of God...it is not miserable.
Luv ya!

Wow...how much negativity here except for Rick. The ACA is very lucrative. And, while many of you agents missed the first year, here we are on the 2nd year. Complain, complain & complain.
This is NOT good people. But, that is my 2 cents.
You might want to read your history books again.
As for your views on Obamacare, you might want to dig out those history books again. Look up ERISA and then track the impact it had on the defined benefit retirement plans.
Looking forward to reading your report.
kinda slow aren't we... should I tell him? hehehe.... or should someone else?
This thread might be spinning out of control when RICK is being quoted as the only positive one about our favorite law....
Tater....its your turn. Have fun!
Ah hell, I suck but I might be able to sell a policy of two so I can eat and feed my kids.... God I hope so, Rick might loan me some money so my twins can eat... Got to feed them little rug rats of cps will come get my kids.... Geez, Obama care has killed me... Get out now

History Class is now in session!
"It turns out that a significant number of Republicans did vote in favor of the Medicare bill when Congress took it up in 1965.
The House adopted a conference report -- a unified House-Senate version of the bill -- on July 27, 1965, and passed it by a 307-116 margin. That included 70 Republican "yes" votes, against 68 "no" votes.
Then, on July 28, 1965, the Senate adopted the bill by a vote of 70-24, with 13 Republicans in favor and 17 against. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it two days later.
So in the House, a slight majority of the Republican caucus voted for Medicare, and in the Senate, a significant minority voted in favor. Both of these strike us as more than "virtually no Republican support."
It's true that the Medicare bill was unpopular in certain segments of the Republican Party. In 1961, Ronald Reagan, the future president, famously released an LP with a speech in which he demonized "socialized medicine," citing proposals that sound a lot like the one passed four years later.
"Write those letters now; call your friends and then tell them to write them," Reagan said. "If you don't, this program, I promise you, will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow, and behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country. ... And if you don't do this and if I don't do it, one of these days we are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free."
Other high-profile Republicans who opposed Medicare included Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater -- the unsuccessful Republican presidential nominee in 1964 -- and future president George H.W. Bush.
And as the Medicare bill progressed through the House, Republican support was scant. No Republicans voted for the bill until it reached the floor. It passed the Ways and Means Committee by a party-line vote of 17-8. And all four Republicans on the House Rules Committee — the panel that sets the boundaries of debate on all bills that come to the House floor — voted against the bill.
As the bill worked its way through the Senate, Republican support was somewhat stronger. In the final Finance Committee vote, the measure passed 12-5, with four of the committee's eight Republicans supporting it."
