The Wall Street Journal (18/09/06) apresenta matéria investigativa mostrando que os corretores encarregados de encontrar o melhor plano de saúde para uma empresa fornecer aos seus empregados, quase que invariavelmente recebem recompensas polpudas das empresas de seguro-saúde, além do valor do contrato inicial com a empresa. Diz a matéria:
"The episode spotlights a widespread and largely invisible practice that critics say boosts the cost of health care. Many consultants and brokers who are hired to help employers get the best deal on health insurance or prescription-drug coverage have significant financial ties with the health vendors they are supposed to be scrutinizing. The ties may take the form of bonuses for bringing in business, commissions or consulting fees. Often they are disclosed only partly or not at all."
