Brokers have completed a significant amount of the enrollments on state-run and federally run Affordable Care Act public exchanges, according to several estimates by brokers in state-level leadership positions.
In California, agents have written upwards of 75% of the business on Covered California, according to approximations by Sam Smith, who serves as president of the California Association of Health Underwriters and is president of Genesis Financial in the Los Angeles area. He notes that the state hasnt officially released these numbers, but hes aware of the high rate of broker sales in talking with carriers and other officials close to ACA enrollment.
