  • Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages on Internet Gambling Published on Gamblingcompliance (
    Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling Published on GamblingCompliance (http://www.gamblingcompliance.com) Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling 02 Aug, 2013 Tony Batt, GamblingCompliance [1] By sending mixed messages to U.S. Congress, the casino industry threatens efforts to pass a strict and comprehensive Internet poker bill, and might provoke a federal crackdown that could shut down the online gaming market, according to a former Republican congressman from Nevada. Jon Porter, a gaming lobbyist who represented Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2003 to 2009, told GamblingCompliance he was disturbed by inaccurate information conveyed at a July 17 hearing on Internet gambling [2] by the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance. Members of the subcommittee and witnesses repeatedly criticized the U.S. Department of Justice for its 2011 decision to reverse its longstanding position [3] that all Internet gambling is illegal under the Interstate Wire Act of 1961. Comments during the hearing linked Internet gambling websites to money laundering, terrorism, drugs, human trafficking and pornography. “The industry needs to be very careful here because Congress has the power to amend the Wire Act and restore the ban on Internet gambling, and I don’t think the industry wants that,” Porter said. As one of the most tightly regulated industries in the United States, casinos should be doing more to collectively educate lawmakers about the safeguards available to protect consumers, according to Porter. He said the online gaming industry’s safeguards are comparable to methods used to protect electronic financial transactions in banking and the purchase of stocks.

  • July 26, 2017 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell, Majority Leader
    July 26, 2017 The Honorable Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader United States Senate 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Charles E. Schumer, Minority Leader United States Senate 322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer: As the Senate debates the House-passed American Health Care Act (H.R. 1628), we urge you to set aside this flawed bill and work with governors, both Democrats and Republicans, on solutions that will make health care more available and affordable for every American. True, lasting reforms can only be achieved in an open, bipartisan fashion. We agree with Senator John McCain that the Senate should “return to regular order,” working across the aisle to “provide workable solutions to problems Americans are struggling with today.” Congress should be working to make health insurance more affordable while stabilizing the health insurance market, but this bill and similar proposals won’t accomplish these goals. The bill still threatens coverage for millions of hardworking, middle class Americans. The bill's Medicaid provisions shift costs to states and fail to provide the necessary resources to ensure that no one is left out, including the working poor or those suffering from mental illness or addiction. The Senate should also reject efforts to amend the bill into a "skinny repeal," which is expected to accelerate health plans leaving the individual market, increase premiums, and result in fewer Americans having access to coverage. Instead, we ask senators to work with governors on solutions to problems we can all agree on: fixing our unstable insurance markets.

Cigna led our industry’s response by taking decisive action to eliminate cost as a barrier to COVID-19 testing and treatment and by expanding access to care. We also launched our Customer Protection Program to further safeguard customers from unexpected costs for COVID-19 care, and we developed our COVID-19 High-Risk Dashboard to support employers’ safe return-to-work plans. As we worked to make a difference throughout the crisis, we also continued to advance our vision to transform the health care system by making it more affordable, predictable and simple for those we serve. Our efforts were not only evident through the products and services we brought to market in 2020 but also through our advocacy efforts in the area of public policy. Cigna is committed to improving the sustainability of the current health care system through active, principle-based engagement with policy makers on both sides of the aisle.

  • Question 1: Marsy's
    VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE Question 1: Marsy’s Law Executive Summary This Voter Guide provides information on Question 1: Marsy’s Law, which will be considered by voters on November 6, 2018. A “yes” vote is a vote to approve the measure, which would amend the Nevada Constitution to remove current provisions for victims’ rights and replace them with a new “victims’ bill of rights.” A “no” vote is a vote to reject the ballot measure that would leave the current provisions for victims’ rights in the Nevada Constitution. Our intent, in the pages that follow, is to summarize the arguments for and against the measure and to answer questions voters may have. The following are the questions this Voter Guide addresses: 1) What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law? 2) Why is it coming before the voters? 3) What happens if Question 1 passes? 4) What happens if it fails to pass? 5) What are the primary arguments for Marsy’s Law? 6) What are the primary arguments against Marsy’s Law? 7) Can the Nevada Legislature make changes to Question 1 after it has been approved by voters? The Guinn Center will not take a position on Question 1: Marsy’s Law. 1 VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE 1. What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law?
