Anyone who does see where this is going is lieing to themselves . Just like oz said at his conformation they're attacking fraud and abuse hard . Cms hiring 5 times the auditors to finish all the last 7 yrs audits for overpayments . It means the golden goose of up coding over with . This mean carriers will make less money . It means the golden goose big profitability in mapd is gone . It means much chaos coming to space . It probably means several mapd carriers exit the space over the coming 4 months. To think no changes to overrides , agent commission , marketing money in some way or degree is refusing to look at reality . Less profitability for carriers equal less money for agents . On that note cms better be careful how hard they push . A United or Aetna just exiting mapd and it's going to be an earthquake across the space , I report what's happening and the facts . This effects me just like the next agent

My favorite is "conformation". Spelling is hard, but I'm sure he wrote this breaking news assessment in between writing 384 policies yesterday. Did he tell you he's the top f2f producer in America? Did he tell you about his incredible day trading empire?
I missed that one. Too busy processing lieing to themselves.

But we need to cut him some slack. Can't be easy flying around in that Sky News helicopter and trying to type at the same time.

best thing an agent can do... keep on grinding, and saving some money along the way
I never buy into "sky is falling" but my 1099 from WellCare was $27,000 for 2024 and it'll be like $200 for 2025 (late true ups from 12/1/24 effective).

That was a big gut punch to keep my head down and keep plowing away, keep overhead low, and keep investing and be ready for change.

If something similar happens on MA comp it will be a major hit to all (most) of us. Similar if birthday rules keep coming up it could kill med supps.

Some of my good friends in the industry think we do have 5-10 more good years left. I'm 40, so... I'll keep living below means and writing what I can.

The beautiful thing is we know how to prospect, present, sell, and service.... So we can adapt into other industry segments and be OK with some time and practice.

Good salesmen are rarely poor.
