Health insurance in parcitular is very complex and, sad to say, most agents don't even know what they are offering. I give prospective clients a great deal of information for free, and even tell them where to find answers & do their own research. Less than 5% actually follow through and take even 10 minutes to do a few things that are absolutely necessary before making a decision.

And the really nice thing about that is that not only can you get an agent to compare various carriers for you, but you can talk to a couple agents and make sure that they're giving you your best options. I'm one for finding the information I need and doing things myself, but in the case of insurance (and taxes, and some other areas) some help is appreciated.

Good question and answer… Hello Bob Vineyard,
