Senate Finance Committee members from both parties took aim Wednesday at insurance brokers that sell plans for large Medicare Advantage insurers.

Brokers also sometimes collect private information that they sell to multiple insurance companies. Those brokers tend to have a national scope, just like the large insurers they represent, compared to the independent, local brokers.

“They are big private marketing companies in the middle between seniors and their coverage,” Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said.
