NAHUâs California Chapter Successfully Defeats Single-Payer Initiative
SACRAMENTO, CA 23 February 2022 â 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 Californiaâs NAHU chapters participated in supporting efforts to oppose this bill. âThis is why I am a member of SAHU, it keeps me in the know on important legislation that affects our insurance industry,â says SAHU President-Elect, Rosamaria Marrujo.
If youâd 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.

In this Issue Legislative News: AB 1400 â We Need You Help! Member Highlight: Mariette Lasley Upcoming Events: DEI Panel, Crab Feed, Axe Throwing Member Meeting Recap Heard on the Net
Legislative News: We Need Your Help! We need your help in requesting that the California Assembly OPPOSE AB 1400, which mandates a government run single payer health care program and abolishes private health insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicare, Covered California, and the valuable advocacy services of insurance professionals.
AB 1400 forces Californians into healthcare chaos while demanding they hand over an additional $200 billion dollars per year in new state taxes on jobs, income, services and more â making it more expensive to live in California for working families, seniors, and employers.
AB 1400 would force every single Californian into a government plan, taking away any choice for anyone who might want to select private coverage or opt out.
The deadline for this bill is January 31st, the time to act is now!
Contact your state assembly member today and urge them to OPPOSE AB 1400!
If you'd like to know more about this Assembly Bill, check out NAHU's article covering it in more details.
 Featured Member Mariette Lasley Ameritas Why did you join SAHU? I initially joined SAHU to introduce myself to the health insurance broker community. I LOVE SAHU because I feel welcome, valued, and able to strengthen my gifts and talents while building lifelong relationships. Through my contribution as a Board Member, I learn and appreciate SAHU for all it represents in our industry. Whatâs one skill youâd like to develop or sharpen this year within SAHU? Learning how to serve SAHU more while utilizing my gifts and talents to pay forward what I've received that is priceless!
Whatâs the best piece of career advice youâve ever received? Get involved in your industry Association! Start with being on a committee to help plan a fun event.
Whatâs your biggest (or one of your biggest) professional accomplishment(s) so far? One of my biggest and most important professional accomplishments is having life long friends in the health insurance industry! Learning from brokers, event speakers, and nationwide leaders through their personal and business stories connects us personally and professionally. These relationships were build through SAHU, and my life has been enriched beyond measure!
When youâre not working, how do you enjoy spending your time? I live every waking moment pursuing Optimal Health through daily workouts, running in the woods and around my neighborhood; reading (including NAHU's Benefit Specialist publication) and learning new business and personal improvement, serving in my church and communities; and creating memorable adventures with my husband (Dave) and 11-year-old son (Joshua)!

SAHU Spreading Awareness for COVIDTests.gov
Last week, the White House announced covidtests.gov, a site with the purpose of supplying free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests to every U.S. household. The new site is now live and ready to take orders, as well as provide additional resources and information for those in need of testing.
The key takeaway is every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. For convenience, if you are interested in ordering immediately, you can use the link below to go directly to the order form and skip all the extra information.
COVIDTests.gov USPS Order Form
Additionally, on the site, youâll find information on other locations you can purchase additional at-home tests, how you can be reimbursed by your insurance for up to 8 at-home tests per month, and 20,000+ Community-Based Testing Sites that will provide free testing.
Lastly, you can find answers to many of the frequently asked questions regarding testing and preparedness. Including What comes with the tests, when is recommended to use them, what to do if you get a positive or negative test, and much more. There will also be a phone number provided at a later date, so those without access to computers or high-speed internet can place orders.
We here at Sacramento Association of Health Underwriter, as industry-leading professionals, consider the health of our communities to be of utmost importance. We are strongly encouraging everyone to place the order for their household, that they may have the tests when needed. Should any individual find they are having trouble navigating or accessing the COVIDTests.gov website, they can feel free to contact SAHU directly at any time, and we will connect you with a local professional that can provide one-on-one help.
