When universal health care was proposed several years ago, there were many articles and debates in the news. Many agents wondered if their careers in health insurance were going to end. Many agents began to look to the many associations they were members of for support. What they discovered, to their dismay, was that none of these associations were willing to fight for them. They needed an organization that would be there for the agent, recognize their value and fight for their right to help clients with their health insurance needs.
NAHU is a grassroots organization. It is here for agents and brokers. It recognizes the valuable role they play in providing payment for health care in the United States. It has a very strong legislative arm and has been influential in the passage of legislation. It continues to fight for you as the largest health insurance agent organization in this country.
NAHU will improve its members’ ability to meet the health, financial and retirement security needs of all Americans through education, advocacy and professional development.
