care costs. As such, one of UAHU's primary goals is to do everything we can
to promote access to affordable health insurance coverage.

questions and compliance matters throughout the life of each policy they
sell.

mom-and-pop businesses and individuals seeking health insurance. Our members
have a unique understanding of consumer health care needs, the perspective
of business owners and the economic realties of health insurance markets. We
not only sell traditional health insurance products, but also coverage such
as dental, long-term care, disability, Medicare Advantage and Medicare
Supplements and a variety of consumer-driven products. Members agree to
abide by NAHU's Code of Ethics, which requires them to always make health
care coverage recommendations with the customer's best interest in mind.

including advanced designation programs, continuing-education classes and
online learning. NAHU provides its members with professional conferences and
networking functions, publications and business-development tools. We also
conduct advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels of government to
advance the interests of health insurance professionals and to promote
affordable and responsible private health insurance market solutions.
