In this column for Kaiser Health News, Janet Trautwein, CEO of the National Association of Health Underwriters, notes: "Insurance agents have made for popular punching bags in recent weeks. TIME magazine posited that agents may be the first victims of health reform. And in a KHN column last week, Jonathan Cohn took a gratuitous shot at insurance brokers, calling the carriers that employ them 'notoriously inefficient.' But the supposed demise of the insurance agent has been greatly exaggerated" (9/9). Read the column.
