  2. What is HUPAC? • HUPAC is NAHU’s political action committee. It is the expression of our First Amendment rights to free speech and association guaranteed under the Constitution. Such political expression has become far more than a useful option for professionals in a heavily regulated business like the health industry. It has become a necessity.

  3. Why is HUPAC necessary? • Few other industries are as heavily regulated as health insurance. Therefore, your success, and that of your clients, is directly dependent upon the actions of Congress. It is critical that we help those members who are willing to consider our point of view in support of private sector health insurance. We can only succeed if HUPAC has the necessary resources – contributions from you and your colleagues around the country.

  4. To whom does HUPAC contribute? • HUPAC contributes to majority and minority party candidates, incumbents and challengers alike. Because it is non-partisan, it does not represent the interest of any political party.
