This round of proposed rule changes really got agents interested in politics. While the accompanying insight didn't make our list, 749 comments were made on this rule. Between agent compensation, lead generation tweaks, and the changes to FMOs, agents had a lot to say. By July, federal courts put a block on those rules, which we reported on, too.
Since Action agents love finding the right fit for their clients, they scrambled to the new costs for 2024. IRMAA brackets, immunosuppressive Part B drug coverage, and Part D information drew even more agents to this insight. Curious about what's to come in 2025? We have an insight for that ready to go.
Agents came to us when CMS proposed eliminating administrative payments and dishing out one flat rate per enrollment. This technically came out in November of 2023, but we're going to count it in 2024 as most of the discussion happened then. As aforementioned, this proposition had a stay placed on it back in July.

When it comes to social media content, the message is loud and clear: our agents love spending time with us! And you better believe we love spending time with you.
Remember that your clients enjoy seeing you, too. Post about events and successes in your agency, and we bet you’ll get extra attention. But for us, there were three popular posts.
The top posts in 2024 were anything NABIP. We sponsored their CEO panel back in April, and it was such a well-organized and thought-provoking event. We're happy to see agents there and invite them as guests. Keep an eye out for Action at future NABIP events, from Metro Detroit to Grand Rapids, from Lansing to Traverse City.

Our YouTube channel really took off this year. Nothing beats sitting down with your favorite device, clutching a cup of coffee, and spending an hour with Randy or Chelsea.
We uploaded 63 videos in 2024, and the "back to the basics" videos are the most viewed. This makes sense—if you're looking to take on a new carrier or a new line of business.
