(For the first time, IIABA will also hold its annual convention as part of the week-long event in Washington.)
“Obviously, our number-one issue will be our opposition to the Sununu/Johnson bill, S. 2509, to create an optional federal charter for the insurance marketplace,” noted Charles E. Symington Jr., senior vice president of government affairs and federal relations for the IIABA.
