    Transcript Prepared by Clerk of the Legislature Transcribers Office Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee January 27, 2021 Rough Draft Does not include written testimony submitted prior to the public hearing per our COVID-19 Response protocol BREWER: Good morning, welcome, welcome to the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. I am Senator Tom Brewer from Gordon, Nebraska, representing the 43rd Legislative District. I serve as the Chair of this committee. Because of the COVID situation, we're going to go through a number of COVID specific things and then we'll get into the Government Committee intro here. For the safety of our committee members, staff, pages, and the public, we ask those attending our hearing to abide by the following procedures. Due to social distancing requirements, seating in the hearing room is limited, very limited. We ask that you only enter the hearing room when it is necessary for you to attend your hearing. The bills will be taken up as posted outside the hearing on the wall. The list will be updated after each hearing to identify which bill is the current bill up, so the number will be up there and then the pages will then post outside. The committees will pause between each bill to allow enough time for the public to move in and move out. Keep in mind that after each testifier, we'll need a slight delay in order to clean the table, clean the chair. So just understand we'll have some pauses. But those pauses are not for senators to start talking because the mikes will be on and it will still be getting recorded.

    2012 ANNUAL REPORT Contributing to the Future of Health Care in Nebraska Dear Friends

    2012 ANNUAL REPORT Contributing to the future of health care in Nebraska Dear friends, Thank you to the 380 Nebraska Hospital Association Political Action Committee (NHA PAC) contributors—an increase of 7 percent—for your generous support in 2012. The NHA PAC raised $47, 463, a 3.4 percent increase over 2011. We would like to thank the NHA PAC Steering Committee for its outstanding leadership and guidance, which continues to fuel our success. State and federal governments pay for well over half of hospital care in Nebraska and regulate 100 percent of our activities. Those are the main reasons why the work of the Nebraska Hospital Association and its political action committee is so important. The goals and objectives of NHA PAC are fairly simple. We raise money to help support political candidates who share our belief that state and federal health policy should maximize our ability to improve health care in the communities we serve. Political advocacy has never been as important as it is today. State and federal budgets are being stretched to the breaking point and, as usual, health care is in the crosshairs to help offset these problems. It is critical that elected individuals making decisions have a passion and understanding for the unique role hospitals play in ensuring the quality of life in their communities when budget decisions are debated in Washington and Lincoln. Please take a moment to review this report, which provides an update of the NHA PAC contributors by hospital community, hospitals that met or exceeded goals, special recognition for the NHA PAC’s 2012 major donors and NHA PAC Pacesetter Award recipients.
