WASHINGTON — Janet Trautwein, CEO of the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), which represents more than 100,000 licensed health insurance agents, brokers, consultants and benefit professionals nationwide, today issued the following statement:

“The National Association of Health Underwriters congratulates President-Elect Joe Biden on his victory. We applaud the president-elect’s objective of ensuring that all Americans have access to high-quality and affordable healthcare.

“Americans want our elected officials to work in a bipartisan fashion to forge real solutions to reduce costs, improve quality and expand access and choice. Most Americans like their private health insurance coverage and want health reform to strengthen and build upon what is working, and address those areas where there are shortcomings.

“We look forward to working together with the new Administration, members of Congress and state lawmakers to bring our real-world consumer perspective to this debate and share our experience to help enact sensible, bipartisan healthcare reform because insuring America is in everyone’s best interest.”

The National Association of Health Underwriters represents more than 100,000 professional health insurance agents and brokers who provide insurance for millions of Americans. NAHU is headquartered in Washington, DC. For more information, visit www.nahu.org.
