Licensed Insurance Agent
Senior citizens are pretty much the sole audience for daytime TV and the nightly news. Those broadcasts are chock-full of commercials for Medicare Advantage Plans right now. Depending on your ZIP code (for some obscure reason), seniors are eligible for dental, vision, and hearing coverage, not to mention free rides to medical appointments, plus up to $250 per month for groceries and utilities, and all at zero monthly premium!
Now that is a helluva deal. All you’ve got to do is call a magic phone number (toll-free of course) and speak to a “licensed insurance agent”.
The obviously “unlicensed insurance agents” that I’ve dealt with have me paying plenty for medical and dental insurance. I don’t even have vision or hearing coverage. I’ve got to make my own way to appointments and pay full price for groceries and utilities.
Could the “licensed insurance agent” actually be a scam artist?
Donald J. Trump is the ultimate scam artist. Trump University, Trump Vodka, and Trump Airlines all took money from suckers and went down in flames. The Big Beautiful Wall was never completed and Mexico didn’t pay a penny toward it.
Donnie has a new scam that fits in with the currently-popular “licensed agent” category. This week, Donnie claimed that if reelected, he would “create a new credentialing body” within the federal government that would be “the gold standard, anywhere in the world, to certify teachers who embrace patriotic values to support our way of life, and understand that their job is not to indoctrinate children, but very simply to educate them.”
Yo, Donnie. Each state already has a “credentialing body” that licenses educators. Teachers must prove competency in educational theory and the subject matter they are to teach. I prefer a teacher who knows her way around a lesson plan and maybe has mastered Algebra teaching my kid 8th grade math as opposed to a member of the Proud Boys.
Lots of seniors phone that “licensed insurance agent” and probably get ripped off. Lots of voters support Donnie’s half-baked education plan and will get cheated.
