By working with American Health Advantage of Aventura, Florida, the NBA is bringing a comprehensive health insurance product to a group that has been vastly underserved by the insurance marketplace.

David Craver, NBA President, stated, "The majority of the one million bartenders and waitstaff in the U.S. currently do not have access to group rate health plans." Craver continued, "With this plan we're going to change that!"

The NBA's health plan is scheduled to be unveiled on July 15, 2003.
