Capitol Conference 2010

Registration and the hotel room block are now open for NAHU’s 2010 Capitol Conference to be held March 8-10 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC.

The 111th Congress has spent much of this year actively working on comprehensive health care reform and will continue its efforts into 2010. Congress has been considering many proposed ideas from both sides of the aisle and, as 2010 begins, we have strong reason to believe that they will be making their final push for health reform. It is vital that NAHU members visit with our lawmakers and present ideas that work, especially this year.

Capitol Conference is a unique chance to sit down and share our knowledge with the people who make the laws that affect our profession and our clients. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with your fellow members about health care reform ideas and hear exciting speakers address the current state of our delivery system.

The schedule this year will feature a full day of training and information sharing on Monday, and exciting speakers and Capitol Hill visits on Tuesday and Wednesday. We need as many NAHU members in Washington as possible this year to make our voices heard. We look forward to seeing you at Capitol Conference 2010!

The 111th Congress has spent much of this year actively working on comprehensive health care reform and will continue its efforts into 2010. Congress has been considering many proposed ideas from both sides of the aisle and, as 2010 begins, we have strong reason to believe that they will be making their final push for health reform. NAHU knows our health care system needs change but Americans deserve a system that is responsible, accessible, affordable and, most of all, realistic.

It's vital, especially this year, that NAHU members visit with our lawmakers and present ideas that work. You have a distinctive knowledge of the health insurance marketplace. You know what consumers want, the underwriting process, the perspective of the small-business owner and the economic realities of health insurance markets. We need members of Congress and officials in the administration to look to us for ideas and feedback about how the system works in the real world.
