I am local in your area and I live and work right here in Fort Worth, Texas. I have been in the health insurance industry for 10 years.. I would appreciate the opportunity to earn your insurance business and will be able to provide a level of continued service unmatched in the industryWith the passage of the Affordable Care Act it is more IMPORTANT THAN EVER to deal with an Insurance Agent that has experience especially with all the changes in HEALTH Care. No more calling 800#s or OUT OF STATE brokers; I am here locally to help your family. Whether it’s sorting through insurance bills or providing tips on how the changes in health care have affected our choices in coverage; I will help you get the most out of your coverage. I have many options that you will NEVER find online and options that Agents trying to sell you over the phone don't have access to, that can literally save you thousands in health care costs. I help people customize coverage. Don't buy a generic /cookie cutter plan, don't be stuck paying for things you'll never need or use and don't get stuck with coverage that is strictly Hospitalization and Surgical. There are many ways to protect yourself and family with great coverage without spending a ton of money.Also, I have access to a group of self employed and small business owners. If I can get you qualified, you're better off in a group and getting out of the individual market ASAP!Cell: 682-472-9186 Email. erik.gould@ushadvisors.com Website: www.ushagent.com/erik.gould
