2 2 What is the NAHU Education Foundation?  A 501(c)3 non-profit  Created by NAHU in 1992  Educates the general public about the private health insurance system  Promotes private sector solutions to controlling the cost of health care

5 5 Sustaining Memberships…  Fully tax deductible contributions from both members and non-members of NAHU  Grass roots organization similar to how HUPAC works  The NAHUEF board is the only infrastructure we have and so we need assistance from NAHU chapters to “make it happen!”
