A federal judge went beyond the maximum sentencing guidelines in sending a former Iowa insurance agent to prison for 15 years for cheating his clients out of more than $1 million.
As a direct result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – also known as ObamaCare – health insurance agent and broker commissions have been slashed by as much as 50%. Agencies have been forced to lay off employees, limit products and services, shift to other lines, and have seen significant drops in compensation.
