Ramp Up Support in the Senate

From the National Association of Health Underwriters ( http://www.nahu.org )

Thursday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The individual mandate requiring Americans buy health insurance was deemed constitutional in the ruling. Yet changes were made to the Medicaid provisions of the law.

Given today’s landmark ruling, it is more important than ever for NAHU members (and those who are involved in the sale and servicing of health insurance) to engage their senators in support for revising the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR).

S. 2288, a bill to remove broker compensation from the MLR calculation, introduced by Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA) has 9 cosponsors!

We are asking you to take a few minutes to contact your senators through Operation Shout! and ask them to cosponsor S. 2288, which will remove agent and broker commissions from the MLR calculation.
