Lee, I know what you are saying. And yes, carriers view policyholders as THEIR clients and agents are just another cost item.
Where I have a problem is when the carrier pitches a plan that SOUNDS too good to be true without telling them the downside to switching.
You may not be able to keep your doctor
Your new plan may REQUIRE you to use only HMO providers
Your OOP cost may be higher than with your current plan
You may not be able to return to your old plan if you cannot pass underwriting
Maybe POACHING is a more accurate term.
Poaching has been defined as the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.[1]
According to Encyclopædia Britannica, poaching was performed by impoverished peasants for subsistence purposes and a supplement for meager diets.[2] Poaching was as well set against the hunting privileges of nobility and territorial rulers.[3] By contrast, stealing domestic animals (as in cattle raiding, for example) classifies as theft, not as poaching.[4]
