"Huge commissions." To who?? Us?? The average agent makes about 55k-65k per year. the business is super top heavy for the agents that actually make good money.

For the pay, they're lucky anyone does this job, for the endless migraine headaches it induces.

We are licensed small business professionals who help people with Medicare. Trump is not cutting that. If anything, he'll cut SHIP and Obamacare navigators, like he did his first term, and as he should.

They are utterly useless, and it's a completely redundant overlap and waste of taxpayer dollars. All they do is hurt small business and drain taxpayers.

Agree

Also, holy hell. I've always thought we need to be paid more.

To think some carriers might cut commish on DSNP. God help those agents who are never ending taking non stop all day calls on those food bennies.

If they cut commissions on DSNP every call center in the country would close overnight.

That would cause me to celebrate! If call centers closed over loss of commish on DSNPS

Scratch that...cause to celebrate would be when health insurance went back to heath insurance and food bennies went back to DHS only.

I guess I'm one of the top heavy ones . In 7 weeks I made as much as many dr's make in a yr . I should have explained more . Overrides and marketing money 2 to 3 times what agents make .

Thats really unfortunate. Average salary for a doctor in Sudan is only about $2,000/yr
I thought you said you were good at this job?

Before I became an agent I volunteered at SHIP. Cutting that will be stabbing agents in the knee cap. Much of what I dealt with then was basic information, educating people about rules, what different types of "programs" there were and differences between them, deadlines, things they needed to think though before they made a decision. If agents had that added to their work load we'd be spending far more time than we do now with very basic education. Yes clients still ask us some of those questions but you'd get far more of them doing that and asking more questions than they already do. There is a place for SHIP. Not everyone uses them - far from that - but what they do is important and does take a load off of agents.
