Say Hello to CAY-hip!
CAHU rebrands as California Agents & Health Insurance Professionals (CAHIP) 
This rebranding has been a long time coming. A recent survey of our members found more than 70% in favor of a new name and brand. We’ve also known for quite some time that “underwriter” is an antiquated term that fails to fully represent the variety of services we provide. And it is often associated with denial of coverage.

Our organization remains the same, along with our commitment to advocating for every Californian to get the right, personalized coverage for all stages in life.

Along with our new name comes this bi-monthly e-newsletter where we’ll share CAHIP Alerts on topics including AB 1400, any other single payer legislation on the horizon, association updates, industry articles and more! Please, share our news with friends, colleagues and clients via email or through your social media channels.
What’s Next for Single Payer in California
On January 31, 2022, AB 1400, the proposed single payer legislation, was defeated. Many thanks to those CAHIP members who helped to generate 4,000-plus Operation Shouts to spread the word about the harm that would come from reducing access and increasing costs.
 
Together we have protected our clients from a highly flawed proposal that would have made Californians lose control of their health care plus pay even more taxes on goods, services, payroll and income.
 
But agents beware: single payer proposals will continue to be introduced and remain popular in voter polls. CAHIP will continue working hard to demonstrate how our broker solutions meaningfully address access, quality, and affordability.
 
We recommend reading John Nelson’s article in the February Cal Broker Magazine to learn more why the cries for single payer will continue in our state.
