  • Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed out of Committee: Health and Human Services Holds First 2021 Meeting
    Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed Out of Committee: Health and Human Services holds first 2021 meeting Josh Miller, Health and Human Services committee chair The Rhode Island Senate Committee on Health and Human Services passed three bills out of committee on Thursday night in its first meeting of the year. The bills would extend coverage of telemedicine and provide coverage for it under RI Medicaid and enshrine certain ACA consumer protections and varying health insurance premium rates based on gender. “Our priority will have bills that are important to address the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sen. Josh Miller (District 28 – Cranston), committee chair. He continued, “Future meetings will therefore address issues such as nursing home visitation, overdose prevention and access to healthcare in the hardest hit communities.” While most of the bills passed unanimously, many among the public testifying last night were concerned over language in the Sub A of Senate Bill 4. The bill would extend coverage of telemedicine under Rhode Island Medicaid. Some industry groups from different outpatient specialties were concerned that their own field was left out, as only primary care and behavioral health are specified in the bill. Sen. Miller noted that the reason is that the provider networks for insurers were historically inadequate (pre- COVID) for primary care and behavioral healthcare, and that the reimbursement rates were much lower for the providers than other specialties. “Already we have the data, both anecdotal and scientifically, on how access to behavioral health and primary care was improved based on telemedicine during the pandemic.” said Miller. He said not having that parity language for the two fields would be a big step back, especially if reimbursement rates for telemedicine were lower than for in person.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 1
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2008 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 1 A Message from Tom Tauke Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies — from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more — that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 25 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions and corporate political contributions made by Verizon in 2008. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

    SURVEY OF CAMPAIGN FINANCES IN THE 2014 ELECTIONS FOR THE RHODE ISLAND GENERAL ASSEMBLY © New Harbor Group, 2015 Survey of Campaign Finances in the 2014 Elections for the Rhode Island General Assembly The attached document summarizes campaign spending by candidates for the Rhode Island General Assembly during the 2014 election year. The figures in the document are drawn from campaign finance records (Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Report, CCER-1) on file at the State Board of Elections for the calendar year 2014. The document was compiled by Nathan McGuire (Boston College, Class of 2016), Kate Mancosh (Furman University, Class of 2017), and Matthew Romano (Boston College, Class of 2018). Candidates for office are ranked by the amount of money raised for a campaign (“Raised”), and the amount of money spent (“Spent”) on a campaign. In addition to names and numerical ranking, the report includes data for two other points. The column titled “Other Resources” reflects funds available to a candidate for his/her campaign that were not raised during 2014. Figures in this column include money on hand prior to January 1, 2014, personal loans to a campaign, returns of deposit money for public utilities, and other sources of campaign revenue. The last column for Senators and Representatives is titled “Opponents.” In this column, opposition is characterized in three categories, as follows: N = No Opponent O = An opponent who received less than one-third, or 33.3%, of the vote in the election. C = A “credible” opponent who received more than one-third, or 33.3%, of the vote in the election.
