A place for Medicare & insurance agents to vent, laugh, and decompress — because the 8 PM phone calls and the chargebacks add up. Drop your worst client story. The best ones become The Medicare Diaries cartoons.
Anonymous by default. We change every name. If it's funny, frustrating, awkward, or just unhinged — we want it.
A few from the pile. (Seeded to start — yours could be next.)
"Called me at 8 PM to ask if her new doctor's cousin takes her plan. By the third call I knew the cat's name and her bunion history. She didn't switch. She just wanted to talk."
"Wanted to drop the plan covering his insulin for the one with a free gym bag. He doesn't go to the gym. 'But the bag was free.' The bag never came."
"Perfect appointment, SOA on file. Month two he vanishes — plan cancelled, commission clawed back. His neighbor said another plan had 'better TV.'"
"Spent an hour on a kitchen-table appointment. Her final question: 'So are you single?' Ma'am I am trying to explain a deductible."
"Client swore I 'changed his plan without permission.' I pulled the recorded SOA. It was his twin brother. They share everything apparently. Including my number."
"Carrier portal went down on the busiest day of AEP. Hold music for 90 minutes. The rep's first words: 'Have you tried turning it off and on?'"
The best vents become short narrated cartoons. Inspired by real submissions — names, plans, and dignity changed to protect everyone involved.
Step away before you lose it. Five minutes here is cheaper than a breakdown.
