    June 24, 2020 Attorney General Jeff Landry Louisiana Department of Justice 1885 North Third Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Dear Attorney General Landry: The undersigned organizations, representing thousands of Louisiana patients and consumers, respectfully request that you immediately withdraw the State of Louisiana from the harmful California v. Texas lawsuit. If ​ ​ successful, this lawsuit would overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), and take away vital healthcare coverage and patient protections from your constituents. The Covid-19 public health emergency highlights the importance of a robust healthcare system able to provide quality care and respond quickly when new threats emerge. Thanks to the ACA, Louisiana entered the Covid-19 pandemic better positioned than most Southern states to both fight the pandemic and support the people of Louisiana with a more robust healthcare system and historically high levels of health insurance coverage. This lawsuit threatens to undo these gains. Since its enactment in 2010, the ACA has brought many improvements to the national health care system, including Medicaid expansion for low income adults, a private health insurance marketplace with federal subsidies for low and moderate income Americans, and numerous patient protections, including the ability of young adults to remain on their parent’s insurance and coverage of pre-existing conditions. The pre-existing condition guarantee has become even more critical now that insurers would likely consider Covid-19 a ​ pre-existing condition1 for tens of thousands of Louisianans. These ACA provisions are good for Louisiana. An early feature of the law, the subsidized health insurance marketplace, helped drive down uninsured rates through affordable coverage for low- and moderate- income families starting in 2014.

  • Numerous Elections on the Front Burner!
    Thursday, January 26 th , 2006 Baton Rouge, Louisiana NUMEROUS ELECTIONS ON THE FRONT BURNER! In a normal election cycle, 2006 would be a somewhat dull election year with a contested congressional election or two. Not a lot to spark the average voter’s interest. But no more. Get ready for a whole litany of contests, from possible three statewide elections, to a series of hot congressional matches as well as citywide races in New Orleans. Anything but dull this year. On the statewide front, Louisiana voters will be forced to go to the polls three times this fall to elect both statewide officials and members of Congress. Initially, a special election for Secretary of State was set at the regular congressional date this November. The fall date was originally scheduled for October, but federal Judge Frank Polozola started meddling again (as he often does.) Because of Louisiana’s unique open primary system, Polozola required in a recent ruling that the first primary date be moved to November to put Louisiana congressional elections on the same footing as closed primary races throughout the rest of the country. But though Polozola has authority to rule on federal elections, the state election date was put into state law by the legislature. So the first primary for the state special election will take place on September 30 th , with a runoff, if needed, on November. 7th . The November date will also be the first primary for the congressional races, with any runoff taking place on December 9 th . Confused? So is everyone else. Look for an effort to be made in the coming legislative sessions to consolidate the September election date into the November date.
