12/30/2002: California HMO Cuts Payments to Insurance Brokers (Sacramento Business Journal via bizjournals.com; free registration required)Excerpt: "On Jan. 1, Kaiser Permanente will whack the pay of a well-paid, low-profile group that's generally escaped cost-cutting so far: health insurance brokers. The giant HMO will start paying brokers a flat fee per member per month for the business they write, instead of the traditional commission that's a percentage of the premiums paid."
