Respectfully, are “for profit” and helpful, useful, “solid information” mutually exclusive? Not unless you live with a ‘victim or viking’ mentality.
There are people in the world who’s primary motivation is not financial profit; but because they create enough value for enough people by solving a problem that they eventually can become profitable (though not always).
Ironically, you link to healthsherpa (a for-profit) and tell someone that it’s “FL ACA [also for-profit] or Christian Healthshare [which many are actually for-profit]” only. However, there are other arguably better options in FL such as Short Term Medical, non-religious Healthshare plans, and Fixed Benefit plans that might be more suitable to some RVers.
We too promote using healthsherpa in our guide, regardless of the fact that we very rarely profit from enrollments through them (only when someone enrolls in BCBS of TX do we make a small 1% profit—all other companies and in all other states we financially profit nothing. In fact, for 3 years we paid a $5-$10 fee for each of these enrollments).
It’s also worth noting that in health insurance the customer’s premium is the same regardless of whether or not an agent is getting paid.
Most importantly, there are other forms of profit far more rewarding than financial. Many of our conversations with RVers end with us making a recommendation where we do not make a financial profit and we perfectly okay with that.
“Profit” is not a bad word unless you think ‘profit’ necessarily means there is a victim at the other end of it. But that thought does not make it reality but for the thinker.
