Download Printable List of State Legislators To all State of Louisiana (OGB) members of the following: February 10, 2021 Pelican HRA1000 Magnolia Local Plus Magnolia Open Access Magnolia Local We are gratified by all the calls and emails received by our State of Louisiana OGB members. Through you we have learned: OGB’s new management posted on the OGB website that Access2day Health “has not performed as expected”. How can that be true? Our contract, written by OGB, is roughly based on how many times members used Access2day clinic locations. Doubtless you have received many emails, mailers, etc. from us. Starting 7/1/2019, Access2day Health informed and promoted your program intensively. Naturally COVID-19 limited your visits from March to present. However, without our contracted providers our Access2day members would undoubtedly have suffered for lack of information and care. Hospitals were overwhelmed, citizens were told to stay home, those with symptoms were told to stay home unless they worsened, and instructions from the CDC changed daily. Access2day Health providers were the lifeline to many thousands of our employer/employee members. OGB was no exception. How can Access2day Health not have “performed as expected”? Despite COVID-19, our OGB members still visited our providers many thousands of times. Access2day Health and its providers have always performed as expected. COVID-19 relief requests were solicited by OGB on April 13, 2020. Access2day Health completed the required paperwork but has never received a response, then or now. Our OGB members also tell us that every single OGB benefits vendor was granted a COVID-19 contract waiver except Access2day Health. Why? Why? Why? Why would the new OGB management seek to cancel, mid plan year, a program that offers; • No appointment Primary Care • No member dollars charged for Primary Care • Telehealth provided at no extra charge Some Basic Facts to Consider: • A safe haven during an unforeseen pandemic 1. Employees have saved • A trusted local provider millions of dollars in copays, The employees of the State of Louisiana gave Access2day Health a 92% deductibles, and out of satisfaction survey. You told us that Access2day Health performed as expected pocket expenses. How and then some. are employee savings not Access2day Health and you need an OGB Board or Legislative hearing. Help us considered performance? get one. We all deserve this chance to be heard and get our “whys” answered. 2. 26% of visits were children. Please help us help you! Access2day charges its Sincerely, employers and members no fees for children. How can “totally free” care be considered under Mary N. Smith President performance? These and other facts have been totally ignored. P.S. Enclosed is the contact information for your legislators. The OGB office number is 800-272-8451. The Division of Administration office number is 800-354-9548.

  • Representatives Honor Roll 12
    Table of Contents Comments 3-4 Syllabus 5 Legislation That Mattered 6-7 Senate Honor Roll 8-9 Senate Report Card 10-11 Representatives Honor Roll 12 Representatives Report Card 13-17 Dear Supporters, The 2017 Louisiana Legislative Session was a victory for higher education in our state. Our leaders made many difficult choices to ensure that students remained a priority. Higher education did not take a cut in funding and remained stable, and most importantly, the TOPS floor was reset and fully funded. This session has restored my hope and trust in our leaders. They have proven themselves as friends to students, and for that we are grateful. However, the last decade has not been so friendly to higher education. According to the State Higher Education Executive Officers’ annual report, Louisiana has led the country in percent reduction of public funding per FTE at -33.1%, from 2011-2016. Last year culminated with cuts to TOPS, to the alarm of students and the public. Years of budget cuts directly affected our institutional quality and transferred costs to students; this cut to TOPS was a direct cut to our students and was devastating for many. Our lawmakers went back on their promise to Louisiana’s best students to provide them with an invaluable postsecondary educational experience. In 2015, after eight years of constant cuts and budget reductions, LSU Student Government decided to launch this annual Higher Education Report Card to hold legislators accountable to us, the students. The mission of the Report Card remains clear: to hold our leaders accountable for higher education policy in the most objective way possible.

  • Weekly Legislative Digest
    Louisiana Federation of Teachers Weekly Legislative Digest May 1, 2015 Steve Monaghan, President * Les Landon, Editor 2015 Regular Legislative Session Now available on the Web at http://la.aft.org Panel votes to silence public employees Despite the best arguments of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved a bill that will make it inconvenient for employees to join and maintain membership in the union or association of their choice. The purpose of HB 418 by Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette) is to weaken unions like the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and Louisiana Association of Educators. These are the groups that have raised questions about, and led the opposition to, so-called “reforms” backed by big business that all too often result in the privatization of education and diminution of the teaching profession. HB 418 would revoke the right of public employees to pay their union or association dues through payroll deduction. Since local governments currently have the authority to grant payroll deduction, the bill is seen by school boards and others as legislative meddling in their prerogatives. The bill is the brainchild of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, which has been twisting the arms of lawmakers to force its passage. The big business lobby recruited the Koch brothers backed Americans for Prosperity to publicly promote the bill. It is an example of what columnist Stephanie Grace, in another context, called “an ugly yet ascendant strain in American politics, a willingness to use any means necessary, no matter what chaos ensues or who gets hurt.” The vitriol motivating the bill’s supporters was on full display when an amendment was proposed to exempt the teacher unions from its prohibitions.
