7. Medicare is the biggest insurance plan in the USA. Therefore, everyone taking part in Medicare must stay educated on the effects the program has on ALL of America, including enrollees, along with everyone potentially impacted.

8. Medicare continues to grow, and with the advent of the “boomer” generation, enrollees and their sales reps, have to remain as up-to-date as possible with current information pertaining to Medicare, Medicare Supplement plans and Medicare Advantage plans. One of NAMSA’s goals is to provide representatives with the most up-to-date information, so in turn; they can pass this along onto their clients.
