Dear Colleague:
At the local level it is Silicon Valley Association of Health Underwriters mission to provide ethical leadership and education in the community regarding health and benefit issues and act as consumer advocates with legislative leaders at both the Federal and State Level.
This historic year our theme is Twenty Years Strong: the Road Ahead. Historic in two regards as we commemorate our chapters twentieth year and this year more than ever before, our industry is under attack by politicians, the press and the public. The future of health care is uncertain. Without AHU’s combined voice in Washington and Sacramento, our livelihoods would be in jeopardy even though we play a critical role in the health and financial needs of our clients. Health care spending now represents over a trillion dollars annually, a staggering figure that is rapidly approaching 20% of the gross domestic product. Bringing the financing mechanism to the U.S. health care delivery system is one of our nation’s most important issues.
Health insurance professionals that join SVAHU play an active role in forging a unified voice, interacting with top decision makers in the field and staying on top of the latest developments from both an industry and legislative standpoint. I hope you will continue to take pride in our our organization and in our noble profession, which is more important than ever to millions of Americans.
Respectfully,
Jeff Bader
SVAHU President
