"This decision by United Healthcare is as shortsighted as it is harmful,” said NABIP CEO Jessica Brooks-Woods. “At a time when seniors are grappling with rising costs, changing formularies, and overwhelming plan options, United Healthcare is cutting off the very people best equipped to help — licensed agents who know their communities, understand theirclients, and act in their best interest. Let’s be clear: this is not about reducing administrative burdens or modernizing enrollment. This is about prioritizing shareholders over seniors.”
