I'm a little worked up...
One thing I (Alek Timmons) take a lot of pride in is honesty and transparency with my clients.
Recently, I worked very hard to get a family approved for what is arguably one of the best private health insurance plans available in the US. Compared to similar coverage, I was saving them close to $1,000 per month.
This wasn’t a basic plan either... we’re talking about excellent PPO coverage, access to top doctors and hospitals nationwide, and protection that could truly make a difference financially if something major ever happened. Plans like this are also very difficult to qualify for, and many families simply can’t get approved. Thankfully, I was able to get their entire family accepted.
A few days later, I received a cancellation request.
The reason? Someone at the front desk of a doctor’s office told them the insurance was “garbage” and encouraged them to cancel it. Unfortunately, the information they were given about how the plan worked was completely inaccurate.
That part is genuinely upsetting to me.
Not because I lost a client... that happens sometimes... but because a family may have walked away from life-changing coverage based on advice from someone who was never trained or licensed to evaluate health insurance plans in the first place.
This is exactly why I always encourage people to ask questions, do research, and speak with professionals who actually specialize in coverage before making major decisions about their healthcare and financial protection.
Truly sad and upsetting. I feel bad for the kids.
