Help deliver our important message regarding the need to oppose a government-run health insurance program, to preserve the crucial role of the agent in a reformed system, and to preserve tax-free employer-provided health insurance – particularly during these perilous economic times.

NAIFA supportsuniversal access to health care for all Americans.

We support insurance practices, such as no preexisting condition underwriting and guaranteed-issue coverage if balanced with maintained coverage.

We insist on a meaningful, fairly-compensated role for the licensed professional agent, and continuation of the employer-provided health insurance system which is built on the exclusion from tax liability of the value of the insurance provided to workers by their employers.

We oppose a government-run health insurance plan that does not compete on a level playing field with private health insurance.

NAIFA also supports coordinated efforts to control the escalating cost of care including disease prevention, enhancing health information technology and using comparative effectiveness research while maintaining the strictest patient-doctor privacy standards as well as medical malpractice reform to reduce defensive medicine.

NAIFA believes subsides should be allowed in AND outside of the exchange to allow consumers true choice of plans.

We believe that choice, quality, competition and professional service must be a part of any health care reform effort.
