  • Letter to Congressional Black Caucus
    December 4, 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, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As members of the Congressional Black Caucus, we want to thank you for your efforts to ensure access to health care for patients and to ensure that physicians and specialists around the country have been able to continue operations during this pandemic. However, we are becoming increasingly concerned about looming cuts facing many specialists, which are expected to go into effect beginning on January 1, 2021. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) published the final rule for the CY2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which increased rates for the office-based evaluation and management (E/M) code set in CY2021. Due to the requirement for budget neutrality, this will result in sizable cuts for over thirty healthcare specialties. While we are supportive of the increases for the office-based E/M code set, the resulting cuts are ill-conceived in the middle of a pandemic. Even without these cuts, too many practices are struggling, even as patients need access to health care now more than ever. We are aware of solutions to either waive budget neutrality requirements (H.R. 8505) or to hold specialists harmless (H.R. 8702). While not perfect, either of these solutions would give healthcare specialists the financial security they need to weather the COVID-19 pandemic.

ISBN: 9781797668697 Author’s Social Media Sites: You Tube: Aplanetruth3 & (4) WellHealed2 Websites: Aplanetruth.info; Tabublog.com; Wellhealed.life; Avvi.info; Wellnessandwisdom.store; Face Book: JME LEE Author’s Books: Fall of 2019 Dedications This book is dedicated to all who have been displaced and disrupted by the California fires through no fault of their own. They deserve better than how they have been treated by their insurers, their local politicians, their state ‘representatives’, their local & state fire and police agencies, FEMA, and Red Cross. To courageous retired Fire Captains John Lord and Matt Dakin, who boldy went on social media to discuss the many anomalies, inconsistencies and impossibilities, that are occurring with the California fires when no other government or community service officials had the temerity to do. To date, they are STILL the only two experts to speak out, though many professionals are in agreement, in private conversation and do not want to risk their jobs and pensions. And to you, the readers of this books most difficult subjects to comprehend and disseminate. It takes courage, to look at very difficult conclusions to the possibilities that California’s fires were not random or happenstance. It takes will, to want to know the truth, wherever it may lead you. And it takes Love, to heal the wounds from the physical, mental and Spiritual battles we are all facing today. The first steps to any occulted truths are a willingness to want to know rather than beLIEve, trust and blindly accept the official narratives provided by those in Secret Societies with hidden agendas who care not about your safety, or your well-being.
