Cigna led our industry’s response by taking decisive action to eliminate cost as a barrier to COVID-19 testing and treatment and by expanding access to care. We also launched our Customer Protection Program to further safeguard customers from unexpected costs for COVID-19 care, and we developed our COVID-19 High-Risk Dashboard to support employers’ safe return-to-work plans. As we worked to make a difference throughout the crisis, we also continued to advance our vision to transform the health care system by making it more affordable, predictable and simple for those we serve. Our efforts were not only evident through the products and services we brought to market in 2020 but also through our advocacy efforts in the area of public policy. Cigna is committed to improving the sustainability of the current health care system through active, principle-based engagement with policy makers on both sides of the aisle. -

H0335 – APA ID Letter of Support
American Planning Association February 3, 2020 Idaho Chapter The Honorable Representative Robert Anderst, Chair House Ways and Means Committee Idaho State Legislature P.O. Box 83720 Boise, Idaho 83720 RE: H0335 (Eminent Domain) Dear Chairman Anderst, I am writing to you in my capacity as the Chair of the Idaho Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA Idaho) Legislative Committee. APA Idaho represents more than 250 local planning officials, private- sector planners, and planning commission members statewide. I am writing to register my organization's support for H0335. In 2015, when the language restricting the use of eminent domain for trails and paths was added to Idaho State Code §7-701A, APA Idaho expressed opposition. Each of Idaho’s communities are unique and each has their own specific zoning needs. Although eminent domain for trails may not be a concern for the majority of Idaho Communities, for some, the ability to expand trail networks that benefit the residents, the community and the State is a priority. There have been numerous studies that show the health and economic benefit of a robust trail system for residents, the community and the State. H0335 returns the ability of local communities to obtain trails for walking, running, hiking, bicycling, equestrian use, and commuting through fair payment to the property owner for the strip of land necessary to make these important trail connections and greenbelts. For a number of Idaho communities, this tool will be a benefit to community members, business and the communities themselves. We also wholeheartedly support bills such as this that restore local control to our Idaho communities. -
Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency. -

Legislative Report Card
2020 Idaho Legislature The student governments of multiple public colleges and universities in the state of Idaho have come together to continue evaluating legislators’ voting records pertaining to higher education. The schools involved for the 2020 process were University of Idaho, Boise State University, Idaho State University, North Idaho College, and College of Western Idaho. Our common interest has led us to advocate and educate students on the legislative support of higher education. This project was started in 2018 with the goal of better educating voters on the underrepresentation of higher education at the state level. Continuing this election year, we aim to recognize the efforts of legislators supporting higher education initiatives. We believe that holding our legislators accountable will cause higher education to become more affordable, accessible, and prioritized. We identified 27 total bills presented on the House and Senate floors in the last two legislative sessions relating to higher education. Eighteen of those bills come from the 2020 session, and the other nine originated in the 2019 session. In a group discussion, the representatives from each college (listed below) determined a score from one to five points for each individual bill. Votes on higher weighted bills had larger impacts on a legislator’s final score. For most bills, if a legislator voted against a bill or was not present for the vote, they received zero points. If a legislator voted for a bill, they received the points of the bill. If a legislator sponsored a bill, they received double points for that bill. Because the house bills H0440 and H0500 adversely affect student populations, the scoring is as follows: a vote for either bill or an absence in voting does not earn the points of the bill; a vote against the bill earns the points of the bill; and sponsoring the bill earns the bill’s value in points against a legislator. -
