KINDER: Good morning and welcome to today’s event, “Essential Workers: One Year Into the COVID-19 Pandemic.” I’m Molly Kinder, a Rubenstein fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program here at the Brookings Institution. Over the next hour we will honor the country’s 50 million essential workers who’ve been on the COVID-19 frontline over the past year at great risk to themselves and to their families. They’re the grocery clerks, hospital workers, first responders, transit workers, home health aides, and so many more. Since the start of the pandemic we’ve expressed our gratitude to them for keeping us safe and fed and protected in a harrowing year. But, of course, essential workers need far more than just our praise. In a new Brookings Metro report published today, my colleague Laura Stateler and I write that a year into the pandemic much more needs to be done to ensure that essential workers receive decent pay, that they have the lifesaving protections that they need, and that they have the power to shape their work conditions and stay safe. -
National Letter in Support of Federal All-Payer Claims Database
National Letter in Support of Federal All-Payer Claims Database As health scholars, leaders of health organizations, and funders of health research, we are writing in support of establishing a federal all-payer claims database (APCD). APCDs regularly collect data on health insurance claims from all of the payers in a given area (typically a state). Because they include demographic and diagnostic data on patients as well as any treatment or drug paid for by insurance (private or public), APCDs can be immensely valuable for research. APCDs have been used by health scholars to study numerous issues about quality and cost, including the extent of long-term opioid use after surgery, the ability of Medicaid patients to access physicians, the amount of wasted medical spending ending on low-value care, the performance of new models to reduce health spending (such as patient-centered medical home programs), the rate of complications after routine surgeries, and the characteristics of the highest-cost Medicaid patients. In 2016, however, the Supreme Court rendered it all but impossible for states to establish comprehensive APCDs, on the grounds that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) preempted states from requiring reporting by self-insured health plans. As noted in the Journal of the American Medical Association, this Supreme Court decision has “far-reaching implications for the ability of states to access comprehensive health information to inform policy making.” In May 2019, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee released a draft of the Lower Health Care Costs Act. Among other things, that Act would amend ERISA to create a federal APCD whose data would be available to “researchers and policymakers.” While we are not all able to take a position on specific federal legislation, we can all agree that a national APCD would be an enormous leap forward for the ability of health researchers to study the cost and quality of medical care across the U.S. -

INDYK: Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much for braving the snow. We’re very glad to have you here in the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings. I’m Martin Indyk, the director of the program. And we’re delighted to have David Gregory here for a second round of Meet the Press at Brookings. David needs no introduction, but I know he likes one, so I’ll just mention to you that he first joined NBC News in 1995. He, of course, served as the White House correspondent during the presidency of George W. Bush, where he’s renowned for his jokes -- no, his tough questions. He covered three presidential campaigns, 2000, 2004, 2008. He was appointed the moderator of NBC News Meet the Press in December of 2008, and since then, the program has done terrifically under his leadership. Of course, it’s way ahead in the ratings, and David, you deserve congratulations for that. -

The West failed to predict the emergence of al- Qaeda in new forms across the Middle East and North Africa. It was blindsided by the ISIS sweep across Syria and Iraq, which at least temporarily changed the map of the Middle East. Both movements have skillfully continued to evolve and proliferate— and surprise. What’s next? Twenty experts from think tanks and universities across the United States explore the world’s deadliest movements, their strate- gies, the future scenarios, and policy considerations.

One False Move for Years, Investing Legend DAVID BONDERMAN Could Do No Wrong. and Then He Tried to Buy a Utility from Enron. By
One False Move For years, investing legend DAVID BONDERMAN could do no wrong. And then he tried to buy a utility from Enron. By NICHOLAS VARCHAVER April 4, 2005 (FORTUNE Magazine) – THEY'RE THE KINGS of American business these days. Private equity firms, hedge funds, and their cash-laden ilk have been pulling the levers of capitalism, with investors you've never heard of amassing billions and buying corporate icons like Sears. Among this extremely quiet species, David Bonderman is as dominant as they come. He has earned a reputation as a master dealmaker, a tornado of a man spinning equal parts brilliance, energy, and charm inside his ever-moving vortex. His private equity partnership, Texas Pacific Group, has massive throw-weight. The firm says it has $20 billion under management--a gaudy sum that includes a series of under-the-radar Texas Pacific affiliates in the U.S. and Asia. That war chest puts the firm in the top tier of buyout funds and dwarfs those of raiders like Carl Icahn or even hedge fund upstarts like Eddie Lampert. Just in the U.S., Texas Pacific controls companies with annual revenues of $35 billion. If it were a public company, it would rank at No. 51 on the FORTUNE 500, somewhere between Motorola and Lockheed Martin. Like any private equity firm, Texas Pacific, which is based in Fort Worth and San Francisco, gathers cash from pension funds and wealthy investors and uses it to buy control of companies. What sets it apart from its peers is its reputation for taking on risky, unfixable companies--and then devoting serious resources to fixing them. -

But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D. -

Bring it on… It was February 2013, and Sandra Pearson will never forget the words she heard on the other end of the telephone. “We are sorry to inform you that the test results are positive.” She had breast cancer. A couple of weeks earlier, her doctor had discovered a lump in Sandra’s breast. At the suggestion of her good friend, Sandra went to Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven where she met with Anees Chagpar, MD, director of the Breast Center at Smilow for an exam and more testing. Sandra recalls her first thoughts. This can’t be... I have two children… I run a daycare center… I have lots of people depending on me… I can’t have Sandra works with a personal trainer, Derek. cancer. The morning after that life-changing phone call, Sandra, along with six supportive family members, headed into Smilow to talk about next steps. “First, Dr. Chagpar hugged me. She comforted me. Then, she explained what my test results revealed. She took her time, drew pictures and diagrams, answered questions and explained possible scenarios. Dr. Chagpar was so patient and attentive that she made me feel as if I was her one and only patient.” Next steps would include four months of chemotherapy, then surgery to remove the tumor followed by radiation treatments. -
