OPINION:
“Aetna deals latest blow to Obamacare, pulls out of most markets” reported that in 2017 Aetna, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, will sell exchange plans in just four states, down from 15 states this year (“Aetna deals latest blow to Obamacare, pulls out of most markets,” Web, Aug. 15).
Hundreds of thousands of people must find new plans. Health-insurance agents and brokers can help them sort through confusing details and find plans that meet their unique needs and budgets.
With an average of more than 10 years of experience, agents find deals that consumers wouldn’t discover on their own. Premiums are 13 percent lower in counties with the most agents.
