Should your insurance agent sell you the very best drug plan even if he does not make any commission on the sale?
I say "Yes!" but I may be in the minority. In this episode I reveal another victim, of a salesman who lied about the least expensive plan available.

Ep. 439 - Can hobbies or new activities protect one from dementia?

Tuesday Jan 03, 2023
I search a government database to identify the least expensive prescription drug plan available for each of my clients.
If that plan happens to be Aetna's SilverScript SmartSaver Rx, it will pay the broker $0 in commissions. He may then lie to force you into a more expensive plan in order to make a few dollars.
Ask to see the printed results of his computerized search to be sure!
