As a result, many of these people may not have obtained needed medical care, and all took a significant financial gamble. The National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), a professional association of more than 20,000 health insurance agents, brokers and benefit specialists, is extremely concerned about the very real issue of the uninsured. One of our primary goals is to help all Americans access appropriate health coverage. Find an AgentHealthy Access
To help address the issue of the uninsured, NAHU has developed the Healthy Access Database, an online tool to inform American health care consumers about the coverage options available to them. The database contains information about private health insurance coverage as well as the many public and private programs available to Americans to help them obtain the medical care they need. Policymakers, the media and other interested parties can also use the database as a means of comparing health care coverage options for Americans on a state-by-state basis.Healthy Access Database
