I want to talk briefly about the statistics behind the "best cities for health brokers" study, and why a city like Chattanooga could come in at No. 1 and why New York City didnt even crack the top 20.
I've put together a list of the 20 cities where health brokers earn the most in fees and commissions for each plan they sell, and this week it's time to count down to No. 1.
As I flew back to FreeERISAs hometown of Washington, D.C., I wondered what the health insurance world looked like in a city of 1.3 million people compared to D.C.s 617,000.
There was some controversy last week when I published data that indicated large health plans can pay 10 to 15 times as much to cover a participant in a health plan compared to their small policy counterparts.
