Why It Matters
eHealth Inc. filed a lobbying disclosure report for the second quarter of 2026, reporting $100,000 in lobbying expenditures. The digital health insurance platform maintained its in-house lobbying operation through Kate Sullivan Hare, Vice President of Government Affairs.
eHealth operates as a Third-Party Marketing Organization that facilitates Affordable Care Act enrollment and insurance sales. Congress has increased its focus on the Affordable Care Act premium tax credit ahead of its scheduled expiration, a policy issue that could affect marketplace participants such as eHealth.
By the Numbers
eHealth's second-quarter 2026 filing continues the company's pattern of quarterly lobbying disclosures. The company reported $100,000 in lobbying expenditures, down from $110,000 in each of the final three quarters of 2025. Through the first two quarters of 2026, eHealth has reported $200,000 in lobbying expenditures. Over the past five quarterly filings, the company has reported a combined $530,000 in lobbying expenditures.
Kate Sullivan Hare remained the company's sole registered lobbyist, continuing eHealth's in-house lobbying structure. Unlike previous quarters, the company did not identify specific legislative issues in its second-quarter 2026 filing. Earlier filings identified Third-Party Marketing Organizations and insurance fraud legislation among its lobbying priorities.
