  • Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed out of Committee: Health and Human Services Holds First 2021 Meeting
    Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed Out of Committee: Health and Human Services holds first 2021 meeting Josh Miller, Health and Human Services committee chair The Rhode Island Senate Committee on Health and Human Services passed three bills out of committee on Thursday night in its first meeting of the year. The bills would extend coverage of telemedicine and provide coverage for it under RI Medicaid and enshrine certain ACA consumer protections and varying health insurance premium rates based on gender. “Our priority will have bills that are important to address the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sen. Josh Miller (District 28 – Cranston), committee chair. He continued, “Future meetings will therefore address issues such as nursing home visitation, overdose prevention and access to healthcare in the hardest hit communities.” While most of the bills passed unanimously, many among the public testifying last night were concerned over language in the Sub A of Senate Bill 4. The bill would extend coverage of telemedicine under Rhode Island Medicaid. Some industry groups from different outpatient specialties were concerned that their own field was left out, as only primary care and behavioral health are specified in the bill. Sen. Miller noted that the reason is that the provider networks for insurers were historically inadequate (pre- COVID) for primary care and behavioral healthcare, and that the reimbursement rates were much lower for the providers than other specialties. “Already we have the data, both anecdotal and scientifically, on how access to behavioral health and primary care was improved based on telemedicine during the pandemic.” said Miller. He said not having that parity language for the two fields would be a big step back, especially if reimbursement rates for telemedicine were lower than for in person.

  • 2020 Commission for Health Advocacy and Equity Legislative Report
    RHODE ISLAND Commission for Health Advocacy and Equity Legislative Report 2020 “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Dear fellow Rhode Islanders, We are pleased to support this important report of the Rhode Island Commission for Health Advocacy and Equity (CHAE). The goal of this report is to highlight how factors like race, gender, and class intersect with historical injustices and forces in our institutions and systems to drive health inequities for many individuals and families in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and the CHAE share an important focus. We are working to build a Rhode Island where every person has a fair and just opportunity to be healthy, prosper, and reach their full potential – regardless of race, ethnicity, ZIP code, income, education, employment, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other factor. This work requires a deep commitment to addressing the root causes of health issues in our communities, including structural racism, discrimination and their consequences. These consequences include poverty and unequal access to good jobs with fair pay, affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, and more. This is a big task. But we all share responsibility for getting it done. We’re also making progress every day, in big and small ways. For example, this report uses data from the recently developed Rhode Island Health Equity Measures. For the first time, we have adopted a standard dataset we can use across sectors to measure the factors in our communities, like education and transportation, that affect up to 80% of our health outcomes.

  • Legislative Campaign Finances
    SURVEY OF CAMPAIGN FINANCES IN THE 2014 ELECTIONS FOR THE RHODE ISLAND GENERAL ASSEMBLY © New Harbor Group, 2015 Survey of Campaign Finances in the 2014 Elections for the Rhode Island General Assembly The attached document summarizes campaign spending by candidates for the Rhode Island General Assembly during the 2014 election year. The figures in the document are drawn from campaign finance records (Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Report, CCER-1) on file at the State Board of Elections for the calendar year 2014. The document was compiled by Nathan McGuire (Boston College, Class of 2016), Kate Mancosh (Furman University, Class of 2017), and Matthew Romano (Boston College, Class of 2018). Candidates for office are ranked by the amount of money raised for a campaign (“Raised”), and the amount of money spent (“Spent”) on a campaign. In addition to names and numerical ranking, the report includes data for two other points. The column titled “Other Resources” reflects funds available to a candidate for his/her campaign that were not raised during 2014.

    1550 Crystal Drive Suite 804 Arlington, VA 22202 T 202.244.4700 March 23, 2021 Via electronic submission Senator Dominick J. Ruggerio President of the Rhode Island Senate 82 Smith Street Providence, RI 02903 Re: Support for S0321 Dear Senator Ruggerio: On behalf of the Healthcare Waste Institute (HWI) of the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), I am writing to express our support for Senate Bill 0321, an act relating to waters and navigation, state affairs and government, and health and safety. The HWI represents manufacturers and service providers as well as other professionals in the healthcare waste management industry. This bill fixes a problem that arose within the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) due to findings in the Ken Rocha Collision, LL v. the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (Rocha) court case. The results of which prevents the DEM from being able to manage some of their programs, including those under the Resource Conversation & Recovery Act (RCRA). Our members work with DEM to apply for their permits and to maintain compliance with these regulations. However, if DEM does not have the ability to enforce federal regulations as a delegated state, the authority would instead return to the federal government. This puts our members in an untenable situation with respect to their permits. Rhode Island S0321 support letter March 23, 2021 Page 2 of 2 HWI appreciates your consideration of our support for this bill. HWI and its members would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these and other concerns in further detail. Should you have any questions, please call Anne Germain at 202-364-3724 or e-mail at [email protected].
