NAHU’s California Chapter Successfully Defeats Single-Payer Initiative

SACRAMENTO, CA 23 February 2022 — Single-payer advocates in the California legislature simply did not have the votes required to pass AB 1400 out of the state Assembly last week, resulting in a major victory for health insurance professionals across the Golden State. AB 1400 would have eliminated private health coverage in California and replaced it with a single-payer, state-run healthcare system.

CAHIP, SAHU, and the majority of California’s NAHU chapters participated in supporting efforts to oppose this bill. “This is why I am a member of SAHU, it keeps me in the know on important legislation that affects our insurance industry,” says SAHU President-Elect, Rosamaria Marrujo.

If you’d like to know more about the bill, its contents, and why insurance industry professionals opposed it, read the information provided by NAHU at the link below.
