Association Health Plans
NAR Renews Calls for Access
Outlined in the REALTOR® Magazine article, NAR Renews Call for Access to Association Health Plans, the National Association of REALTORS® urged Congress to pass legislation restoring Americans’ access to association health plans, a critical means of healthcare coverage for self-employed individuals like real estate professionals.
Angela Shields, CEO of Tennessee REALTORS®, highlighted the struggles independent contractors—comprising most NAR members—face in obtaining comprehensive, affordable health coverage at a hearing in front of the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions. She underscored that 15% of the nation’s more than a million REALTORS® remain uninsured due to high premiums and deductibles. Many others rely on expensive plans in the Affordable Care Act marketplace with narrow provider networks.
NAR’s priority is to ensure that members have the freedom to choose the best health insurance options that offer the highest quality care at the most affordable cost—whether through the ACA, AHPs or other available plans.
