  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • 25 Things to Know About Kevin Cramer
    With only 25 days to go until Election Day, here are the 25 most important things you need to know about Congressman Kevin Cramer. 1. Cramer continues to embarrass North Dakota, making national headlines with his callous comments regarding sexual assault. CNN: GOP Senate nominee: Kavanaugh accusation 'absurd' because they were drunk and assault attempt 'never went anywhere' Politico: Cramer questions whether Kavanaugh assault allegation is disqualifying — even if true CNN: GOP Senate candidate on Kavanaugh accuser: 'I mean, how many 15- year-olds handle a lot of alcohol?' NDxPlains: Cramer Struggles to Clarify Comments Hankinson News-Monitor: Cramer’s comments are shameful 2. Cramer wasn’t Republicans’ first choice to run for Senate. One reason: his “Akin-like” tendencies. Those fears have become reality thanks to his multiple gaffes and bizarre comments, including suggesting that there’s “nothing inhumane” about children in chain- link fence cages and describing women dressed in white as having a “disease.” 3. Cramer only entered the race after an out-of-state billionaire promised to help him fundraise. 4. Cramer pledged to vote with the president 100 percent of the time once he entered the race – and he’s shown North Dakotans that his pledge applies even when it goes against their best interests. 5. Cramer compared voting against the president’s agenda to cheating on your spouse. 6. Cramer was involved in a pay-to-play scandal during his time on the Public Service Commission where he willingly took “improper campaign contributions” from industries he was charged with regulating. Cramer was sued and the judge in charge of the case admonished his actions as “ill-advised, devoid of common sense, and raises legitimate questions as to the appearance of impropriety.” 7.

  • Senator Boozman Leads Legislation in Senate to Protect Patients
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] Senator Boozman Leads Legislation in Senate to Protect Patients’ Access to Surgical Care Legislation follows letters of support sent by 51 Senators Companion bill in the House has nearly 100 co-sponsors WASHINGTON, December 10, 2020 –Senators John Boozman (R-Arkansas), Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi), Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced legislation today that will reverse the devastating payment cuts that will further harm the health care system already under strain due to COVID-19. This legislation will ensure no healthcare professionals receive lower Medicare payments than 2020 levels for the next two calendar years. Stopping these cuts will protect patients by preserving access to quality surgical care and ensuring no physician will face payment cuts amid a historic pandemic. “Our nation’s physicians are under incredible strain due to COVID-19, and this bill begins to correct a misguided and ill-timed policy that would cut health care spending in the middle of a pandemic,” said David B. Hoyt, MD, FACS, American College of Surgeons Executive Director. “Time is running out to reverse these cuts and protect patients. We thank Sens. Boozman, Cramer, Hyde-Smith, Cotton and Collins for their leadership on this issue and will continue to partner with them and their Congressional colleagues to protect patients’ access to quality surgical care.” The new legislation in the Senate mirrors H.R. 8702: The Holding Providers Harmless From Medicare Cuts During COVID-19 Act of 2020, which Reps. Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-7) and Larry Bucshon, M.D.

  • Promoting America's Health Through Nursing Care
    February 28, 2020 Senator Jerry Moran Senator Jon Tester Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Committee on Veterans’ Affairs United States Senate United States Senate 412 Russell Senate Office Building 825A Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Moran and Ranking Member Tester: On behalf of the 60 undersigned organizations representing the Nursing Community Coalition (NCC), we urge you to consider and advance S. 997, the United States Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act of 2019. This legislation recognizes the nurses who served as members of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II and provides them with honorable discharges, medal privileges, and burial benefits for cemeteries administered under the Department of Veterans Affairs. As a coalition representing the cross section of nursing education, practice, research, and regulation within the nursing profession, we fully support S. 997 and encourage the Committee to take up and pass this important legislation this Congress. As we celebrate the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, it is vital that we not only recognize the nurses currently helping patients every day, but also honor the nurses that laid the foundation of our profession. This is the case for the nearly 120,000 nurses who answered the call from 1943 to 1948 and honorably cared for our servicemen and women during World War II. As the average age of these nurses increases, it is imperative that we recognize these brave women before it is too late. The NCC thanks you for your consideration and requests you to consider and advance S.

  • December 4, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell the Honorable
    December 4, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leaders McConnell and Schumer: We write to express our support for addressing upcoming physician payment cuts in ongoing legislative negotiations. We believe these cuts will further strain our health care system, which is already stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and jeopardize patient access to medically necessary services over the long-term. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The fee schedule includes several positive attributes, including improvements for maternity care and much-needed payment increases for physicians delivering primary and other essential outpatient and office-based care to some of our nation’s most vulnerable patients. These changes should take effect on January 1, 2021, as planned. However, a statutory budget neutrality rule requires that any increases in Medicare payments for these office visits, also known as evaluation and management (E/M) services, must be offset by corresponding decreases. As a result, many practitioners including surgeons, specialists, therapists and others face substantial cuts beginning on January 1, 2021, if Congress does not take action to provide relief. Health care professionals across the spectrum are reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 emergency as they continue to serve patients during this global pandemic. The payment cuts finalized by CMS would pose a threat to providers and their patients under any circumstances, but during a pandemic the impact is even more profound.

As you know, section 2 of the Executive Order directs the Department of Commerce, in consultation with the Department of Justice, to file a petition with the FCC within 60 days of the Order's issuance requesting that the Commission make certain clarifications concerning the scope of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. As with any potential Commission action, it would not be appropriate for me to weigh in on the merits of the petition before it is filed, but I can assure you that we will carefully review it.
