YES NO Looking for HLC’s help to learn healthcare issues? YES NO Supportive of HLC’s agenda generally? YES NO Elected official or other government background? YES NO If so, what? ___________________________ Has a healthcare background or healthcare connection? YES NO If so, what? 3 decades experience in healthcare/biotech (Amgen and Genentech) OVERALL HEALTHCARE PHILOSOPHY Chris supports universal healthcare and building on the ACA. She is open to the idea of a public option/ Medicare/Medicaid buy-in but would want the government to compete fairly with the market to maintain private coverage options. She is very open to working with HLC to learn more about best practices for improving the healthcare industry. Chris’s focus is on helping those in rural communities get healthcare access: telehealth, protecting rural hospitals, transportation, caregiving, building a sustainable workforce and reducing costs (prescription and out of pocket). Chris is particularly concerned for the older adult/senior population healthcare needs. POSITION ON HEALTHCARE POLICIES 5 4 3 2 1 Strongly Strongly Generally Generally Supports Opposes Supports HLC Mixed Support Opposes HLC HLC Agenda HLC Agenda Agenda Agenda (Agrees) (Disagrees) Value-Based healthcare can only be achieved if current federal fraud and abuse laws are 4 modernized to allow greater collaboration by private healthcare entities. Telehealth is essential in addressing healthcare access disparities and these services should be 5 expanded through increased funding. A new government-run health insurance system is the best answer to providing affordable 4 coverage to all Americans. 5 Behavioral health services should be an integral part of a coordinated healthcare framework. In Medicare Parts C and D, the private sector negotiates lower prices more efficiently than the 3 government can and this successful approach should be maintained. The government adequately pays healthcare providers to educate the next generation of 5 physicians. Extraordinary measures to control prices such as drug importation or replicating the government 3 price controls of other countries will undermine medical innovation and the development of new treatments. .

  • Fight Partner Assessment Highlights
    DRAFT Fight for a Better America enlisted a consultant to surface best practices and changes observed in two US Congressional districts where we invested in grassroots partner organizations: 1) Flip the 49th! Neighbors in Action (Flip) and 2) NJ 11th for Change. The consultant conducted interviews with staff and volunteers and reviewed a selection of press that the organizations received. The following brief summarizes highlights from these interviews and media testimonials. Flip the 49th! Neighbors in Action Background and Context In November 2016, Congressman Darrell Issa of California’s 49th district won by 1,621 votes, while Clinton won the district by over a 7-point margin. In addition, approximately 20,000 Republicans supported Issa but voted against Trump. Issa’s record and activism (as leader of the politically-tinged Benghazi investigation) galvanized a constellation of groups and individuals to act and express their discontent. No other weekly resistance effort in the country has shown more passion, resilience Thus began the “Tuesday’s with Issa” rallies on December 20, 2016. and impact than the anti-Issa rallies. The Issa’s narrow re-election – and strong support for many of President greatest challenge faced by organizers Trump’s controversial positions – also led Dr. Terra Lawson-Remer (a across the U.S. is resistance fatigue. political economist who’d worked for the Obama Treasury Indivisible 49 and its all-volunteer team, led Department but hails from the district) to develop a data-driven by Ellen Montanari and Misty and Tim strategy for electing a Democrat to Issa’s House seat (a 35-page O’Healy, excel at sustaining engagement research and data report she termed a “treatise”) – in what was and enthusiasm.

  • February 26, 2020 Chairman David Skaggs Co-Chairwoman Allison
    February 26, 2020 Chairman David Skaggs Co-Chairwoman Allison Hayward Office of Congressional Ethics 425 3rd Street, SW Suite 1110 Washington, DC 20024 Dear Chairman Skaggs and Co-Chairwoman Hayward: We write to request that the Office of Congressional Ethics (“OCE”) investigate whether Representative Devin Nunes is receiving free legal services in violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives (“House rules”). Specifically, Representative Nunes retained an attorney who represents him in several defamation lawsuits in various courts where he seeks a total of nearly $1 billion in damages. House rules prohibit a Member from receiving free legal services, unless the Member establishes a Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”). According to the House Legislative Resource Center, Representative Nunes has not filed any of the required reports to establish an LEF. The relevant facts detailed below establish that the OCE Board should authorize an investigation of Representative Nunes. Representative Nunes’s overt involvement with the highly-publicized lawsuits threatens to establish a precedent that the Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”) regulations no longer apply to Members. Although Representative Nunes is entitled to legal representation and he may pursue any legal action to protect and defend his interests, he must comply with House rules. An OCE investigation will preserve Representative Nunes’s legal right to counsel while upholding well-established House rules and precedent. House Rules Prohibit Members from Receiving Discounted or Free Legal Services A Member of the House of Representatives “may not knowingly accept a gift” with limited exceptions.1 A “gift” is defined to include “a gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, forbearance, or other item having monetary value.

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.
