In this episode of Healthcare Happy Hour, host David Saltzman sits down with Bianca Saul and Chris Vanderwolk of NABIP’s Employer Working Group to explore how member-driven ideas become real policy initiatives. They discuss the group’s role in identifying challenges facing employer-sponsored health plans and developing practical solutions that can be advanced at the state and national levels. The conversation highlights two model legislative proposals focused on healthcare transparency, cost management, and employer access to claims data, while also offering insight into how NABIP members can get involved in the advocacy process. Bianca and Chris share how collaboration, volunteer leadership, and grassroots engagement are helping shape the future of employer-sponsored healthcare.
