Agent: That's great to hear! I understand that health insurance can be a complex topic, and I'm here to help make it easier for you. Can you tell me a bit about your current situation and what you're looking for in a health insurance plan?
Understanding Client's Needs:
Client: Well, I'm looking for health insurance for my family. We want coverage for regular check-ups, emergencies, and prescription medications.

Educating the Client:
Agent: Based on your needs, there are a few key things to consider when choosing a health insurance plan.
