1. “I’m healthy, I don’t need it.”

Acknowledge: “Glad you’re feeling good.”
Strategy: Coverage is for surprises; review doctors and real options calmly.
Action: “Mind if we quickly check plans that keep your doctors?”

2. “It’s too expensive.”

Acknowledge: “Cost matters — let’s look at help you may qualify for.”
Strategy: Household/income → subsidy → metal level fit.
Action: Run eligibility facts; show options; enroll only with clear consent.

3. “I need to talk to my spouse.”

Acknowledge: “Household coverage should feel right for both of you.”
Strategy: Finish fact-finding first.
Action: Complete notes; bring spouse on a callback — or continue only with proper consent.

4. “I’ll just use the ER.”

Acknowledge: “I hear that a lot.”
Strategy: Plain-language cost/access discussion per approved scripts — no scare tactics.
Action: Offer a short plan review; proceed only if they want to.

5. “I already looked on Healthcare.gov.”

Acknowledge: “Good — that means you’ve started the homework.”
Strategy: Agent help on doctors, drugs, and fit.
Action: Review against their providers; enroll with consent if appropriate.
