Is it just me or does anyone else think that the insurance industry as a whole needs a complete overhaul??? I can't do it anymore!!! I've done Medicare Advantage, Final Expense and ACA plans and I am so frustrated with all of it. Most people feel like Final Expense isn't necessary!!! WHAT?? Are you crazy?? And ACA plans have $8000 deductibles! Why even have insurance?? That's defeats the whole purpose of it!! I'm sorry....I'm just super annoyed!!!
