Thanks Stuart.

I didn't think about what the client would expect. I imagine that it could
be a selling point to say that I am fully insured. Agencies around here
have started to level off their cut to around 40%, but that is slightly less
when they facilitate corp-corp contracts. I think the low-end of their cut
is probably 33% and I have heard that it can get to 75%. I want to avoid
the agencies, so I guess I should consider the full coverage.

Thanks again,

Lauren
