On this exclusive and free webinar for UBA Partners and their clients, Janet breaks down the future of the ACA and health insurance politics and policy, including recent legislative and regulatory actions by Congress and the Trump administration. The session will examine:

  • What actions have been taken so far
  • What the political and philosophical barriers have been
  • What actions we can expect in the near-term and later
  • What prompted the need for changes to be made
  • How the changes are being made and the role that NAHU is having in this process
  • What NAHU members, the overall agent/broker community, and employers play in this process

Join us for this informative 60-minute webinar on our changing political landscape and what it means for health and welfare plans. Please note that a slide deck of the presentation will not be available prior to, nor after, the webinar.
