“All politics is local,” said former U.S. House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neil during a tough reelection campaign in the 1980s.
Nothing, however, captures the essence of the principle that political success is directly tied to the issues of his constituents. How candidates and officeholders embrace this notion usually determines their success and ultimately the ability of constituents to affect true change in government.
With this in mind, we welcome you to NABIP TX PAC, the political action committee of the Texas Association of Health Underwriters, which is committed to supporting candidates and office holders in Texas who have common sense business philosophies and support an open, competitive marketplace.
Because great solutions come from people in all walks of life who are of distinctly different political stripes, NABIP TX PAC holds no particular political ideology but asks everyone to appreciate one fact of life – there is no free lunch.
Getting and keeping good people elected requires financial resources today. The ultimate beneficiary of this process is, of course, the Texas insurance consumer – the person who looks to an insurance agent or broker for expertise in finding the most appropriate health insurance plan that offers the greatest value at the most competitive rate possible.
Texas and the nation have entered a new political and health insurance paradigm. The delivery of health care and how it is paid for remains in everyone’s bulls eye; and the answers are murkier and more difficult to know than ever before. It is no understatement to say that agents are truly the only way consumers can get the critical piece of the puzzle to make everything work — accurate, reliable information and advice.
NABIP TX PAC asks that you please consider supporting its PAC so Texas agents and brokers can continue to support Texas health insurance consumers.
