NRA Launches Healthcare Alliance

The National Restaurant Association has created a new alliance with one of the country’s largest healthcare companies to provide easier access to coverage and related products and services for its membership. In partnership with United Healthcare, the NRA is launching the Restaurant Health Care Alliance to provide restaurant owners and employees easier access to cost-effective, health-benefit options. In addition, it will help restaurant owners and employees understand their coverage options as well as tax and eligibility changes that are occurring in 2010 and beyond. The association estimates that between four and six million of the nation’s nearly 13 million foodservice employees are uninsured at any given time.

Launched May 22, the Restaurant Health Care Alliance is available to restaurant owners and employees, as well as insurance agents and advisers who serve the restaurant industry. For more information, go to restauranthealthcare.org.”””
