[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1824381, member: 40587"] Every year, I promise myself I will no longer fool with Med Adv or Obamacare, except for friends, family, or an existing clients on other business. But,[I] they [/I]will send people to me, figuring they are helping[I] me[/I] out. It is hard for me to turn down a senior that calls, though. I just spent the last 2 hours on the phone with a lady, that has [I]twice[/I] since OE started Oct 15th, listened to telemarketers, and let them change the coverage she had in place.
