What will the new Congress mean for health care?

What happens in Washington impacts your practice! Join us as we have a conversation on what we can expect to see now that a new Congress has begun its term.

How will the new Congress affect your ability to sell health insurance and help your clients? We will get the latest insights from an industry association leader.

Ronnell Nolan has nearly 20 years of experience as a trade association lobbyist. After spending several years as the contract lobbyist for the Louisiana Association of Health Underwriters and the president/CEO of the Nolan Group, a bipartisan governmental affairs firm, she helped to launch HAFA as the voice for the independent, non-captive health insurance agent.

Marcy Buckner is senior vice president of government affairs with the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals. In this role, Marcy manages the association’s government affairs team, including the monitoring of activities of all state legislatures, insurance departments, and intergovernmental organizations to coordinate efforts to advance the interests of professional health insurance producers.

Ronnell and Marcy will help you understand what’s coming down the road and what you need to know in order to be compliant.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Is single-payer dead or merely asleep?
• How will the efforts to bring down the cost of health care impact your clients and your practice?
• What will happen to the employer-based market if the employer tax exclusion is eliminated?
• How will health agents be impacted by the Great Unwinding and the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency?
