Don’t Tax Healthcare: A Virtual Briefing for State, Metro & Local Chambers

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 | 2:00 PM ET | Virtual

Host: Lexi Branson, Vice President, Health Policy, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Details

Across the country, states are increasingly turning to health insurance for revenue — through premium taxes, assessments, and MCO taxes that quietly raise the cost of coverage for the employers and families chambers serve. Most of it is hidden, embedded in premiums, and it adds up fast.

Join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for a virtual briefing on the Don’t Tax Healthcare campaign — what these taxes are, what they’re costing your members, and how we can work together to get ahead of them in your states.

What you’ll take away:

  • A breakdown of premium and MCO taxes, and why they’re spreading
  • Our economic analysis and an interactive, state-by-state tool you can use for your own state
  • Real examples where getting organized early made the difference
  • Concrete ways to partner with the U.S. Chamber as proposals emerge

Who should attend: State, metro, and local chamber leaders, policy staff, and government-affairs teams.

You know your states better than anyone — our goal is to put national research and resources behind the work you’re best positioned to lead. Reserve your spot below. Can’t join live? Register anyway, and we’ll send the recording and the full resource package afterward.

 

This meeting is invite-only, closed to the press, and open only to U.S. Chamber of Commerce members. Additionally, since the meeting is off-the-record, the use of AI notetaking, recording, or other transcription tools is prohibited.
