Each of the proposals would support students and their families, as well as institutions of higher education, as they rebuild and move forward beyond the COVID-19 crisis. Like other sectors of our society, the pandemic has had a crippling impact on students and their families, who have had to cope with lost jobs, reduced wages, and in some cases, significant health challenges from COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected low-income students and communities of color. In the face of these challenges, some students have been forced to suspend their pursuit of a college education. This was particularly true of students at community colleges, which saw an estimated 10 percent decline in enrollment last fall. Since the onset of the pandemic, colleges and universities—public and private, small and large, urban and rural—have seen precipitous declines in revenues and soaring new expenses, and over 650,000 jobs were lost on campuses, roughly one of every eight positions.

  • 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.
