Health Producer Comp Bill Flies Through Senate Committee | ThinkAdvisor

Why should insurance companies be required to disclose the compensation to agent?

I thought these nanny state Republicans where supposed to be for free markets?

I've been calling senators all week, to no avail.

I'm underpaid. My clients may just request we get paid more from the carriers.

I doubt this will pass both houses in current form

I don't know, Congress is pretty stupid when it comes to health insurance.

Unfortunately this came out of a Republican led committee.

Yeah, and of the three that voted against, only one was a Republican.

There are idiots on both sides, but a much larger % of the idiots are Dems.

It is outrageous- they are trying to blame the high cost of some personal insurance products on the commission of the agent and broker - as if we had anything to do with the premiums insurance companies decide to charge - just look at Obitemecare - agents get paid squat and the prices keep rising. The jackasses in DC are always looking to shift the blame for what the government screwed up onto someone else - someone who had NOTHING to do with the chaos they created when they decided to use Health Insurance as a vehicle to lure votes and wield power - most people could NEVER exist on straight performance commission -especially those clowns in Congress - yet they turn around and try to destroy the business of those who really DO work. It is absolutely outrageous.

I believe this is a good thing, especially within the context of push for transparency. Do not understand why someone would be against it. Disagree with the belief that this is a way to blame the broker/agent for the high cost of insurance. Use of carriers/tpa makes great sense, infrastructure is already built and the incremental cost would be very little compared to what an agent/broker would need to spend.
