CapCon 2024 Legislative Talking Points

For nearly a century, the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP), formerly NAHU, has advocated on behalf of benefits and insurance professionals. NABIP members work to obtain insurance for clients who are struggling to balance their desire to purchase high-quality and comprehensive health coverage with the reality of rapidly escalating medical care costs. As such, one of NABIP's primary goals is to do everything we can to promote access to affordable health insurance coverage. Click here to see the talking points from the 2024 CapCon held February 25-28 in Washington, DC.

NABIP American Healthcare Consumer Bill of Rights

NABIP is proud to announce the creation of the American Healthcare Consumer Bill of Rights. This serves to protect and uphold the rights of every American to access affordable, high-quality healthcare. It is our fundamental belief that healthcare should be comprehensive, equitable, and compassionate for all individuals. The NABIP Consumer Bill of Rights outlines 10 key articles that serve as a guiding framework to ensure that healthcare remains privately accessible and affordable for all Americans.

NABIP Political Action Committee (PAC)

NABIP PAC is the political action committee of the National Association of Health Underwriters (NABIP). It is the expression of our First Amendment rights to free speech and association guaranteed under the Constitution. Such political expression has become far more than a useful option for professionals in a heavily regulated business like the health insurance industry. It has become a necessity.

NABIP PAC is registered with the Federal Election Commission. Since NABIP and similar organizations are prohibited from making political contributions, NABIP PAC was created to allow contributors to combine their financial support to a candidate to achieve maximum effect.

NABIP PAC's Mission:

"The purpose of the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP) Political Action Committee (NABIP PAC) is to raise funds from NABIP members for the purpose of supporting the political campaigns of candidates who believe in private sector solutions for the health and financial security of all Americans."

Why is NABIP PAC necessary?

Few other industries are as heavily regulated as health insurance. Therefore, your success, and that of your clients, is directly dependent upon the actions of Congress. It is absolutely critical that we help those members who are willing to consider our point of view in support of private sector health insurance.

To whom does NABIP PAC contribute?

NABIP PAC contributes to majority and minority party candidates, incumbents and challengers alike. Because it is non-partisan, it does not represent the interests of any political party.

Who can contribute to NABIP PAC?

Only NABIP members, their families and staff can contribute to NABIP PAC.

Clients of NABIP members may not contribute to NABIP PAC. All donations must be made by individuals--FEC regulations prohibit PAC contributions by corporations or companies. Click here to donate!
