The president of a Connellsville, Pa., insurance agency faces charges from the state attorney general’s office of failing to provide workers’ compensation insurance for his staff.
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.
