The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced $40 million in grants to help find and enroll children who are uninsured, but eligible for either Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
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.
