In this Issue Legislative News: AB 1400 – 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 – 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!

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. What’s one skill you’d 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!
What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever received? Get involved in your industry Association! Start with being on a committee to help plan a fun event.
What’s 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 you’re 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)!
