Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Our readers who sell health insurance already survived the first disastrous open enrollment season under the Affordable Care Act. Was the second time around any better? Susan Rupe looked at statistics regarding coverage costs and agent commissions, in addition to speaking to agents who are in the trenches serving clients while seeing their compensation decreasing. What she found was a "squeeze" in which consumers were surprised by higher out-of-pocket costs while agents were doing more work for less money.
