The National Association of Health Underwriters annual conference kicked off Sunday in Atlanta with a message from outgoing president Bruce Benton of California: “We’re going to ride this out.”
In his brief remarks about the past year he reflected on the sentiment of the NAHU community. “In July [2012] our membership was bleeding a little bit,” he said, referencing the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act and election questions lingering in the air. “By January, NAHU was in it to win it. People are starting to get on fire.”
