NABIP St. Louis

?? Congress is Scapegoating Licensed Agents While Ignoring CMS Failures ?? The Insurance Fraud Accountability Act is missing the mark. Instead of tackling the real causes of fraud, lawmakers are unfairly blaming licensed agents—the very professionals who help millions of Americans access quality healthcare. ?? The truth? CMS has failed to safeguard consumer enrollments and prevent agent commission theft. The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) has ignored agent warnings and proposed solutions for years, allowing fraud to thrive. ?? We need action, not blame: Stricter verification, better enforcement, and real accountability—not political scapegoating. ?? Licensed agents are the solution, not the problem. NABIP will continue to fight for policies that protect both consumers and the professionals who serve them. Our Healthcare Bill of Rights ensures Americans receive the guidance they deserve.
