Union officials fought for this power officials from giving any of these dues dollars directly to il and refuse to give it up; yet they complain they are “unfairly candidate for federal office. burdened by the legal obligation” to represent nonmembers. An the same time, FECA permits union officials to use Such complaints are intended to pave the way for compelling workers’ conipulsory dues dollars for “in-kind” political i..fiancial support from so-called “free riders” for representation spending on goods and services to elect candidates for federal :~.they do not want offices.

  • CONVERSATIONS MATTER Why Medicare (Unlike Medicaid and the Veterans Health Administration) Cannot Negotiate Prescription Drug Prices
    Kari Gottfried POL 317: U.S. Health Policy & Politics CONVERSATIONS MATTER Why Medicare (Unlike Medicaid and the Veterans Health Administration) Cannot Negotiate Prescription Drug Prices Gottfried 1 Introduction & Background The national conversation around health care reform has been approached from many angles, but the general consensus is this: the United States is spending more on health care, and getting less in return, than any other comparable country.1 There are many reasons why this is the case, and health policy experts have been trying to get to the bottom of this problem for years. One case they make for astronomical health care costs is the rising price of prescription drugs.2 Both Democrats and Republicans have emerged as critics of this issue, placing the blame on the pharmaceutical industry and their powerful lobby.3 In a Congressional hearing last February, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) challenged pharmaceutical executives, telling them, “We cannot continue to give Big Pharma the blank check that you have had to pay for high- priced prescription drugs.”4 Senator Cassidy (R-La.) argues that the burden should not be placed on the government to pay for these expensive drugs, since the cost eventually falls on taxpayers. He says “if the taxpayer is paying that money… it is almost as if the taxpayer has ‘stupid’ written on their face, which they should not. That is unfair.”5 However, legislators discount the role they have had in this crisis. Nearly one third of prescription drug spending is through the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit,6 but 1 In this paper, “comparable” or “similar” countries to the United States refers to countries that are a part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD countries.

Brauner Research Advisor: Michael Malbin, Ph.D. December, 2012 1 Abstract Over the past two decades, there has been a decisive shift in how transportation policy is developed. For years, this policy area was viewed as one of the least combative arena in Washington. That is no longer the case. Theodore Lowi and James Q. Wilson’s views on policy arenas and political types will provide the framework for a discussion of the shift that transportation politics have undergone. Additionally, R. Douglas Arnold’s theory from “The Logic of Congressional Action” that reelection is the main force behind the votes of legislators will be used to gain an understanding of how individual legislators shifted their votes over time.

  • Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Chapter of South Carolina Chartered in 1926 Phi Beta Kappa Is the Nation’S Most Prestigious Undergraduate Honor Society
    Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Chapter of South Carolina Chartered in 1926 Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate honor society. It is recognized across all academic disciplines as a mark of excellence and academic distinction. It is a symbol of integrity and scholarly achievement in the liberal arts and sciences Phi Beta Kappa is both the oldest and the most prestigious undergraduate honor society in the country. Only 10 percent of colleges in the United States have earned the right to have chapters, and just over 1 percent of all college students are elected each year. To be elected, a student must have more than a high grade point average. Chapter members review the academic records of the top 10 percent of the class to ensure that most credits are earned in the liberal arts and sciences, in a broad array of subjects, and at an advanced level. History of Phi Beta Kappa • Phi Beta Kappa are initial letters of Greek words meaning “Love of Wisdom–the Helmsman of Life” • Founded in 1776 at William and Mary College • Yale Chapter established in 1780, Harvard 1781, Dartmouth 1787 • Secrecy repealed in 1830 • Membership extended to women in 1875 • National Body established in 1883 • First African American member elected in 1877 • Alpha of South Carolina established at USC in 1926 • Today, there are 290 chapters and nearly 50 alumni associations across the country • In South Carolina, there are also chapters at Wofford, Clemson and Furman, and there is also the Lowcountry Association Why strive to be elected? There are a number of meaningful and worthwhile honor societies on campus that students will receive invitations to join during their college careers.
