FALLS CHURCH, VA —The Association of Health Insurance Advisors (AHIA), NAIFA’s health and employee benefits advocate, applauds the President’s call for reliance on the private health insurance market in his State of the Union Address.
“AHIA has long supported the expansion of Health Saving Accounts (HSAs) and was pleased to hear the President include them in his January 28th address” states AHIA President, Thomas Vander Wal.
The adoption of health information technology and medical liability reforms to limit costly and frivolous lawsuits are also AHIA-supported efforts.
AHIA actively supports efforts to make health insurance more affordable and accessible. AHIA continues to believe that a reformed private health care delivery system is the best means to ensure choice, quality and affordability. “Reformation not replacement is what we need” concludes Vander Wal.
AHIA is hopeful we can move the debate to consensus and action and looks forward to working with the Administration and Congress on improving our nation’s health care delivery system.
