Subject: ACT NOW: Urge Your Representative to Sign the Melancon Health Insurance Agent Support Letter

TAKE ACTION NOW

Congressman Melancon has agreed to distribute a "Dear Colleague" letter regarding the new health web portal required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

Members of Congress will be asked to sign a letter addressed to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius strongly encouraging the inclusion of agent language on the new web portal. Consumers should be made aware of the personalized assistance provided by state-licensed health insurance agents. NAIFA and industry partners have made similar requests of HHS.

Contact your Representative to encourage support of the Melancon "Dear Colleague" effort.

The Melancon letter is available to view here.

Urge your friends and colleagues to make their voices heard as well. Remember to complete the Tell-a-Friend feature after you email your lawmaker!
