In this episode of The Benefits Brief, host David Saltzman sits down with Chris Vanderwolk, chairman of NABIP's Legislative Council, to discuss the association's legislative strategy and how members can play an active role in shaping healthcare policy. Chris explains NABIP's three-pronged approach: advancing model legislation, using the association's voice to influence federal policy, and responding quickly to state and local issues. He also highlights key legislative initiatives, the importance of grassroots advocacy, and practical ways benefits professionals can engage with lawmakers to help improve healthcare affordability, transparency, and consumer access.
