Misconceptions, unpopular opinions, and the state of Health Care today We dive right in with George Gutierrez, Health Insurance Agent with Health Coverage Educators to learn more about where health insurance is today
George takes a deep dive into the current industry standards and what he wants consumers to understand about their current policies
According to George, there are many affordable, low deductible plans out there for families who are struggling to find the right coverages. One of the most common objections he sees to selling health insurance are healthy individuals refusing a policy because they don’t visit the doctor.
As a health agent, he emphasizes that he is your customer service rep and is ready to take your call if you need anything related to your policy George wants to know everything about you so a plan can be designed around your needs
George’s main focus is small business insurance that aren’t traditional plans Most small business owners don’t know that there are other group plans out there that fit the needs of their employees
Whether you are searching for a low or high deductible plan, it’s important to talk with your agent about the pros and cons that come with each plan.
Not all health agents are created equal which is why George stresses the importance of a working relationship with his potential clients.

Another asset in relation to finances is building a savings account with 6 months worth of expenses. Allocating funds into multiple accounts based on your current and future needs. Ask the important questions and think to yourself, “Where do you want to be in 10 years?”

Are construction and roofing companies as credible as politicians? Nielsen has the answer for us in his latest episode
The common misconception around the construction and roofing industries is that you can’t trust them very much, same as politicians When catastrophic events happen, we see droves of companies from all over the metroplex and other states out door knocking trying to get business
Not all are credible, insured, or in it for the right reasons Nielsen emphasizes the importance of choosing the right company
Do you pay for your deductible or the full expense? Are free inspections offered? Asking the right questions can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars and the hassle of not getting the job done right the first time
When it comes to remodeling or roof replacements, Nielsen talks about the minor changes that make a big difference in a home’s appearance He enjoys showing his clients before and after photos that makes the transformation unrecognizable
