    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

I encourage you to support liability protections in the final version of COVID-19 Phase IV legislation. Hospitals and health care practitioners acting in good faith should not face the threat of litigation as they make important decisions about how to treat patients and save lives during the pandemic. Moreover, unwarranted lawsuits divert much needed time and resources from care at hospitals and medical facilities already under strain during this extreme public health crisis. There is bipartisan consensus that federal liability protections should only apply to responsible health care facilities and professionals. A facility that fails to act reasonably and does not require its employees to guard against transmitting infection, for example, would not be protected if a patient contracted COVID-19.

  • Doctors & Members of Congress Letter to Leadership
    December 3, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: We urgently request that you address the impending cuts in the CY21 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule in any legislation moving through the House before the end of the year in an effort to avert yet another health care crisis. This week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the CY21 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule. We appreciate the increased payments in the PFS to physicians delivering primary care and complex office-based care. Unfortunately, due to the budget neutral nature of the fee schedule, many specialists will now encounter severe reimbursement cuts starting on January 1, 2021. Health care providers have faced extensive challenges during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Following the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration, the U.S. Surgeon General and CMS urged the cancellation of all “non-essential” medical procedures. As some of our providers faced COVID-19 on the front lines, others were told to suspend the services that comprise most of their revenue. Health care providers are now facing financial distress that may lead to office closures or reduced staffing nationwide due to unprecedented low patient volumes. This will dramatically limit patient access to care during the public health emergency and beyond. Physician Members of Congress reached across the aisle to develop bipartisan solutions to address these upcoming reimbursement cuts, which would provide stability for health care providers as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • A Bipartisan Letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi And
    May 28, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Thank you for your swift action and continuing efforts as we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (PL 116-136) provided our physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists with much-needed and meaningful aid to continue patient care operations during this pandemic, the effects of which could be felt for years. However, while Congress is diligently working to protect these important medical practices, they are being targeted for a sizeable cut that is slated to be finalized within the next few weeks. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) final CY2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rule published in November 2019 proposed increased rates for the office-based evaluation and management (E/M) code set in CY2021. Due to the requirement for budget neutrality, this would result in a projected eight percent cut for therapy services beginning on January 1, 2021. If these cuts are allowed to go into effect, they will be devasting and will limit access to care for patients, including seniors, who rely on these services. Ultimately, these cuts will force physical and occupational clinics to close, resulting in thousands of qualified professional clinicians, especially those in rural and urban areas in our districts, to lose their jobs.
