Should I Write my Own Health Insurance Policy?

[FortHoodTX]

I am leaving employment in the funeral business and going back to being an independent life agent. I have a TX General Lines license so I can write health too (though I never have.)

I'm losing my group health insurance and COBRA coverage is ridiculously high. I need to get health insurance somewhere and for the most reasonable cost. Are there advantages to my situation because I am licensed? (other than the fact that I get paid on the policy I'd write for myself)

Just asking the general question because I have no clue what my options are. I am NOT currently appointed with any health insurance carriers. If there are any in particular I should get appointed with, please suggest. I honestly don't want to shell out $300/mo for coverage if I can avoid it. Any information would be helpful.

It's not worth your time to get appointed. Commissions will average 5%, at $300/mo , it's $15 a month.

If you qualify for tax credits, you don't want to mess with HC.gov by yourself.
If you don't understand plans/benefits/networks, you don't want to make a mistake by learning on the fly.

$300 a month sounds like a bargain to me.

It's just a good thing you are not arrogant, my friend!

Ann's not a man however if I was the OP I certainly would contact you for help.

I believe what you have is confidence not arrogance.

I knew it was a joke, Tater! And I replied with a joke, too. I hope there is no miscommunication to readers, as TaterPeeler and I are friends with mutual respect. Without a doubt, TaterPeeler knows this market well, and Yagents was correct to recommend using an experienced agent in Texas.

So the choice is Ann or a Tater????????
