What is
PAHU-PAC?
PAHU-PAC is PAHU's political
action committee. It is the
expression of our First Amendment
rights to free speech and
association guaranteed under the
Constitution. Such political
expression has become far more
than a useful option for
professionals in a heavily
regulated business like the health
insurance industry. It has become
a necessity.
PAHU-PAC is registered with the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Since PAHU and similar
organizations are prohibited from
making political contributions,
PAHU-PAC was created to allow
member contributors to combine
their financial support to a
candidate to achieve maximum
effect. For more information print
the
PAHU-PAC Brochure.
Why is PAHU-PAC
necessary?
Few other industries are as
heavily regulated as health
insurance. Therefore, your
success, and that of your clients,
is directly dependent upon the
actions of the Pennsylvania
General Assembly. It is absolutely
critical that we help those
members who are willing to
consider our point of view in
support of private sector health
insurance.
To whom does
PAHU-PAC contribute?
PAHU-PAC contributes to majority
and minority party candidates,
incumbents and challengers alike.
Because it is non-partisan, it
does not represent the interests
of any political party.
Who may
contribute to PAHU-PAC?
Only NAHU/PAHU members, their
families and staff may contribute
to PAHU-PAC.
Clients of NAHU/PAHU members may
not contribute to PAHU-PAC. All
donations must be made by
individuals--FEC regulations
prohibit PAC contributions by
corporations or companies.
How does
PAHU-PAC decide on contributions?
Decisions are made by vote of the
PAHU-PAC Board of Trustees,
appointed by the PAHU president.
Candidates for PAHU-PAC
contributions are evaluated on a
variety of factors, including:
recommendations from NAHU/PAHU
members; support of PAHU policies;
accessibility to our members;
willingness to learn; and
congressional committee and
political party responsibilities;
among others.
PAHU-PAC only
makes contributions to candidates
for state office?
PAHU's Political Action Committee
contributes to state candidates
who are willing to consider our
point of view in support of
limiting state mandates, private
sector health insurance, long term
care insurance, and other
healthcare related products.
