Subject: So let me get this straight
Agents apparently dislike Underwriters. But Underwriters apparently distrust Agents.
Agents aren't very happy with the products carriers give them to sell.
Yet carriers develop products that agents have told them are needed to sell.
One of two things will happen 1) this checks and balances system will keep both sides honest in what's most important, money in their pocket or 2) this conflict will drive the insurance industry into permanent disrepair. I don't believe either side is thinking in the best interests of the customer, only their own needs and what can a carrier get from and agent and what an agent can get from a carrier. Money in their pocket. Vicious circle, I'm afraid.
