December 7, 2016 The Honorable Paul Ryan The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Democratic Leader, U.S. House H-232 Capitol Building H-204 Capitol Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Re: Consequences of Repealing ACA Provisions or Ending Cost-Sharing Reduction Reimbursements Dear Speaker Ryan and Leader Pelosi: With plans for repeal of all or part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reportedly being prioritized for action early in the 115th Congress, the American Academy of Actuaries’1 Health Practice Council urges you to consider the potential adverse consequences of repealing provisions of the ACA, such as the individual mandate and enrollee subsidies, without also enacting a replacement approach at the same time. Repealing major provisions of the ACA would raise immediate concerns that individual market enrollment would decline, causing the risk pools to deteriorate and premiums to become less affordable. Even if the effective date of a repeal is delayed, the threat of a deterioration of the risk pool could lead additional insurers to reconsider their participation in the individual market. Likewise, eliminating the reimbursements to insurers for cost-sharing reduction (CSR) subsidies could result in insurer losses and solvency challenges, leading insurers to further consider withdrawing from the market. In either case, significant market disruption could result, leading to millions of Americans losing their health insurance. Offering pre-existing condition protections requires incentives for enrollment A sustainable health insurance market depends on enrolling enough healthy people over which the costs of the less healthy people can be spread. To ensure viability when there is a guarantee that consumers with pre-existing conditions can obtain health insurance coverage at standard rates requires mechanisms to spread the cost of that guarantee over a broad population.

Resolution for Censure James Madison University Faculty Senate May 6, 2021
Resolution for Censure James Madison University Faculty Senate May 6, 2021 Whereas one of the traditional duties of the Speaker of the Faculty Senate is to attend the quarterly meetings of the JMU Board of Visitors to report to its Academics and Student Life Committee on activities of the Faculty Senate and to update the Committee on issues of concern to the faculty, and Whereas the Faculty Senate places its trust in the Speaker to fairly represent its interests before the Board of Visitors and to reflect views that are held in common by a majority of the faculty, and Whereas at the April 15, 2021, meeting of the BOV Academics and Student Life Committee, Senate Speaker Val Larsen delivered a speech that misrepresented the views of the Faculty Senate, in particular, by making faulty assumptions about the reasons for abstentions on the freedom of speech resolution, and Whereas the result of the freedom of speech resolution was taken out of context, exploited rhetorically, and misinterpreted as signifying deep ideological divisions at JMU, and Whereas the Speaker’s oral presentation was discussed with neither the Senate Steering Committee nor the Provost prior to its delivery, and Whereas the delivery of the Speaker’s oral presentation constitutes a breach of trust of the Faculty Senate and its constituents, and Whereas the claims and ideology expressed in the Speaker’s oral presentation belong primarily to the Speaker and significantly misrepresent and distort the views and beliefs of the faculty senate as a collective, Now therefore be it Resolved that the Faculty Senate issues this Censure for the above- described actions of Speaker Larsen, and directs the Speaker at the next Board of Visitors meeting to read a statement retracting and clarifying the April 15 oral presentation.

Nancy Pelosi Is the 52Nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, Having Made History in 2007 When She Was Elected the First Woman to Serve As Speaker of the House
More than 30 Years of Leadership & Progress SPEAKER.GOV “Pelosi is one of the most consequential political figures of her generation. It was her creativity, stamina and willpower that drove the defining Democratic accomplishments of the past decade, from universal access to health coverage to saving the U.S. economy from collapse, from reforming Wall Street to allowing gay people to serve openly in the military. Her Republican successors’ ineptitude has thrown her skills into sharp relief. It’s not a stretch to say Pelosi is one of very few legislators in Washington who actually know what they’re doing.” – TIME Magazine Cover Profile, September 2018 Nancy Pelosi is the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, having made history in 2007 when she was elected the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Now in her third term as Speaker, Pelosi made history again in January 2019 when she regained her position second-in-line to the presidency, the first person to do so in more than 60 years. As Speaker, Pelosi is fighting For The People, working to lower health care costs, increase workers’ pay through strong economic growth and rebuilding America, and clean up corruption for make Washington work for all. For 31 years, Speaker Pelosi has represented San Francisco, California’s 12th District, in Congress. She has led House Democrats for 16 years and previously served as House Democratic Whip.

Speaker Committee Charter
Speaker Committee Charter COMMITTEE PURPOSE: The purpose of the Speaker Committee is to provide direction to ACMP conferences through selection of the conference theme(s), featured education track topic, and session speakers. In addition, the Speaker Committee serves as support for speakers by acting as liaisons in preparation for the conference. COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION: The Committee will meet once to twice a month via teleconference or webinar. The Committee will be provided a clear project outline of tasks and items no later than August. Most tasks will focus around shaping the content of the program. Ideal Speaker Committee volunteers would have a passionate interest in change management education and training and increasing the quality of educational offerings at ACMP Change Management Annual Conferences. All volunteers must be ACMP members in good standing. A few committee volunteers should have an interest and established presence on social media in order help promote the conference and speaker selection and training. Committee volunteers should anticipate spending about an hour a week in August; an additional 20 – 30 hours of work will be required to review the speaker submissions in September. Following the selection of speakers, the workload of the committee decreases substantially. However, another round of reviews may be needed in December should ACMP move forward with holding any additional conferences. Committee members have the option to sign up to be one of the Speaker Liaisons. Those individuals who do sign-on to become Speaker Liaisons will be assigned between 3-5 speakers to work with and review their presentations. This would require an hour introductory/conversation; an hour to review their first draft and provide feedback; and an hour to review their final presentation and provide feedback.

Chapter 8: the Speaker, the Chairman of Committees and Officers
of Speaker is an essential of the parliamentary system, and of Westminster parliamentary traditions the Speakership has proved to be the The office is an ancient one over one of the first Parliaments (the 'Mad Parliament') in 1258, it is considered that the first Speaker to be so designated wa in 1377, who became the first in a continuing times Speakers were variously described as 'Parlour* (mouth), 'Prolocutor' (chair- man) and 'Procurator' (agent). Essentially each acted as mouthpiece or spokesman and hence 'Speaker' on behalf of the House in communicating its resolutions to the The office of Speaker was central to the centuries long battle for supremacy between Parliament and the monarchy. Historically the role of the Speaker has been an unenviable one. The chequered history of the Speakership shows that a number of Speakers died violent deaths by way of execution or murder while others were imprisoned, impeached or expelled from office. This record is reflected in the custom of a newly elected Speaker showing a token resistance on being escorted to the Chair. As Laundy states in The Office of Speaker: The custom had its origin in the genuine reluctance with which early Speakers accepted the office, for the role of spokesman for an emerging body of legislators bent on opposing the royal will was a dangerous occupation . Until discontinued by Speaker Onslow in 1728 it was the custom for the Speaker-elect to struggle with his proposer and seconder, resisting every inch of the way to the Chair with the result that he was iiteraily dragged to it.1 Today in the House of Representatives the custom is maintained by the Speaker- elect being escorted with gentle dignity to the Chair by his or her proposer and The fascinating historical development of the Speakership has been well recorded by Laundy.2 For the purposes of this text it is sufficient to say that it is an office of great importance not only in its significant and onerous duties but particularly for what it is held to represent.
