The Pennsylvania Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a series of bills to expand access and health insurance coverage, part of the 15-bill HealthNET PA legislative package.
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.
