Rx For Health Care

AHIA takes a lead role within the NAIFA federation with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and on federal issues which impact members concerned with employee benefits, health, disability or long-term care insurance as well as Section 125 Plans and COBRA administration. AHIA plays a supportive role with state and local associations on state legislative issues.

State Legislative Information Network

This strategic program is designed to allow states to share and advance ideas, research, and policy solutions to help each other with state legislative challenges. AHIA hopes to stimulate dialogue and develop a workable exchange of intelligence on state health issues through the network.

To take advantage of the network, associations simply send an email to AHIA at ahia@naifa.org and clearly state the health issue of concern. AHIA will facilitate getting the message to the AHIA State Health Chairs who will respond directly to the inquiring association. Associations will provide the status of the initiative in their state, convincing arguments used to sway legislators, unexpected questions, coalition partners, effective and ineffective strategies.

As the bridge to intelligence sharing, AHIA is certain that the network will position the state associations as the strongest advocates on behalf of the interests of health insurance advisors in the state legislatures and with state insurance departments.
