Independent agents help others with coverage all day, yet their own health coverage runs on commission income with no employer plan behind it. It is easy to put your own coverage last when you are focused on clients.
The challenge insurance agents face
Independent insurance agents in Washington often work on commission with income that varies by season and book. Sorting out personal health coverage can still feel like a separate puzzle. The real obstacle is usually clear information for an independent agent looking at their own situation.
