HUPAC Contribution Form

What is HUPAC?
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.

HUPAC is registered with the U.S. Federal Election Commission. Since NAHU and similar organizations are prohibited from making political contributions, HUPAC was created to allow contributors to combine their financial support to a candidate to achieve maximum effect.

Why is HUPAC 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 Congress. 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 HUPAC contribute?
HUPAC 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 can contribute to HUPAC?
Only NAHU members, their families and staff can contribute to HUPAC.

Clients of NAHU members may not contribute to HUPAC. All donations must be made by individuals--FEC regulations prohibit PAC contributions by corporations or companies.

How does HUPAC decide on contributions?
Decisions are made by vote of the HUPAC Board of Trustees, appointed by the NAHU president. Candidates for HUPAC contributions are evaluated on a variety of factors, including: recommendations from NAHU members; support of NAHU policies; accessibility to our members; willingness to learn; and congressional committee and political party responsibilities; among others.

Can HUPAC make contributions to candidates for state office?
Yes and no. In July, 2003, HUPAC's Board of Trustees approved a policy change to contribute to candidates for state governors' and elected insurance commissioners' races. HUPAC does not participate in any other state-based races. State association PACs, however, may contribute to other state candidates. If your state association is interested in starting a state PAC, please contact us.
