My Cobra runs out in January so I need to find health insurance but am so busy with projects I haven’t found the time to do the research. Any recos for a good broker that can find the best policy for me?

Also if you can get a contract through a recruiter they always offer healthcare.

Nooo then they also take 50% of your rate, not worth it

Aetna is outstanding. I also recommend Mutual of Omaha. Depending on your age and health consider an HMO vs a PPO.

Non-fun fact: Aetna is good for anyone who doesn’t work at Aetna (now owned by CVS). My brother-in-law worked for Aetna and the healthcare they give their employees is downright criminal.

It’s so bad many at Aetna have tried to negotiate being paid instead of using their employee health plan so that they could purchase their own insurance. Aetna won’t let them.

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.
