Six in 10 companies offered health benefits to their workers this year, while 21% of those firms say they reduced the scope of benefits provided or increased their employees’ share, a new study finds.
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.
