  • 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.

  • U.S. Bancorp Political Activities Report
    U.S. Bancorp Political Activities Report April 2020 – September 2020 Overview U.S. Bancorp complies fully with all federal, state, and local laws and reporting requirements governing contributions by its affiliated political action committees (PACs) as well as political contributions made with corporate funds. U.S. Bancorp’s Political and Legislative Activities Policy requires that all contributions from U.S. Bancorp’s PACs and the corporation be compiled and published semi-annually in a report that is made publicly available on its corporate website. The policy also requires, for each trade association and other tax-exempt organization to which the company pays $50,000 or more in annual dues, certain disclosures regarding the trade association’s or other tax-exempt organization’s use of dues payments for non- deductible lobbying and political expenditures. This report and the Political and Legislative Activities Policy are reviewed by the Public Responsibility Committee of the U.S. Bancorp Board of Directors. U.S. Bancorp Federal Political Action Committee The U.S. Bancorp Federal PAC Board of Directors, comprised of no fewer than three members from across U.S. Bancorp’s retail footprint, reviews and approves all PAC contributions on a quarterly basis.
