Insurers Alter Their Sales Commission Structure, Partly to Help Meet Medical Loss Ratio Rules
– Excerpt: "[A securities analyst] said in a Dec. 4 research note that the 'word on the broker street' is that CIGNA Corp. will make several changes in individual-market commissions, including calculating commissions on the base premium rather than the full premium, which might be much higher based on the member's health status. This also would lower the commissions reported in CIGNA revenue and therefore raise its MLRs."

Study Says Paid Family Leave Good for Workers and Bosses
– Excerpt: "An overwhelming majority of California's employers, questioned about 2009 and 2010, say the state's Paid Family Leave program has had little or no noticeable effect on their operations, a study released Tuesday found. Many said the law, which was adopted in 2004, helped not only the workers' lives but the company's bottom line."

[Opinion]
A New 'Definition' for Health Care Reform
– Excerpt: "The defined contribution approach to reforming the tax treatment of health insurance would focus on restoring a more level playing field for all purchasers. The current tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance manages to be inequitable, inefficient and increasingly ineffective - all at the same time! And, the new health law's 'Cadillac tax' on high-cost employer plans would send confusing incentive signals - if it's ever implemented almost a decade after enactment."
