House Ways and Means Committee Holds Field Hearing on Emergency Medical Care: <\/span>On Monday, March 18, the House Ways and Means Committee held a\u00a0field hearing<\/a>\u00a0titled \u201cAccess to Health Care in America: Ensuring Resilient Emergency Medical Care.\u201d The discussion focused on conversions regarding rural emergency hospitals (REHs), coordination of rural health care, the expansion and financial viability of health care access and abortion access. Chair Jason Smith (R -MO) emphasized that 82% of all U.S. countries contain one ambulance desert where patients live more than 25 minutes from an ambulance post and that Congress\u2019s new designation is helping small, rural hospitals keep their emergency rooms open but urged for further steps to assist hospital participation. Ranking Member Judy Chu (D-CA) commented that during 2024 open enrollment, 21.3 million Americans signed up for care through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces. She emphasized that Republican restrictive abortion bans are a barrier to accessing emergency care and urged them to abandon attempts that limit accessibility.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_style=”dotted” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||14px|||” custom_padding=”10px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/comms.bhfs.com\/rv\/ff00c469a2811a409c545f9c9e4c9daf931c1105″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Stay Informed – Health Care, Tax, Immigration, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources, Transportation, Defense, Education and Labor, Trade, Telecommunications, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, and More.

Last week, both Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID) reportedly offered compromises that included significant modifications to the bill\u2019s child tax credit (CTC) provisions. However, Wyden rejected the Republicans\u2019 offer out of concerns that it would cut too deeply into the CTC and endanger Senate Democrats\u2019 support for the bill, and Crapo is reported to have rejected the Democrats\u2019 offer based on a further expansion of the CTC\u2019s refundability. Given the March 22 deadline to pass the final tranche of FY2024 appropriations bills, the Senate\u2019s next opportunity to consider the bill will be after the upcoming two-week congressional recess. During the recess, industry supporters of the bill, as well as family advocacy groups, are expected to make a final push on the Senate to reach a compromise given their interests in the package\u2019s business tax provisions and the CTC and low-income housing modifications on the family side of the package. The individual tax-filing deadline on April 15 continues to be the informal cutoff for action, after which enactment of the CTC provisions, in particular, will become increasingly difficult as the November election nears and the political environment in Congress will consign tax reforms to the 119th Congress.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_style=”dotted” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||14px|||” custom_padding=”10px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/comms.bhfs.com\/rv\/ff00c469a2811a409c545f9c9e4c9daf931c1105″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Stay Informed – Health Care, Tax, Immigration, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources, Transportation, Defense, Education and Labor, Trade, Telecommunications, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, and More.

Passed by Texas\u2019 state legislature late last year, the\u00a0SB4<\/a>\u00a0law would grant state officials the power to arrest, detain and deport individuals without legal authority to be in the country.<\/p>\n First, on the afternoon of March 19, the Supreme Court issued an\u00a0order<\/a>\u00a0permitting the law to come into effect, ending a prior decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that effectively froze the law from being implemented. The high court\u2019s decision came despite the Biden administration urging it to keep the Fifth Circuit\u2019s stay in place. The decision was immediately followed by criticisms and condemnations from congressional Democrats and immigration advocates. On Capitol Hill, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) issued a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0declaring that the SCOTUS decision \u201cundermines its own credibility\u201d and said SB4 \u201cis an alarming state overreach that will likely lead to massive civil rights violations across our state.\u201d Similarly, Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) told reporters that his office was receiving calls from constituents who said \u201cthey are scared that their families will be torn apart or caged\u201d as a result of the law. For its part, the Mexican government issued a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0condemning the law\u2019s presumptive codification, saying it would not cooperate with Texas \u201cunder any circumstances\u201d and refusing to accept any non-Mexican asylum seekers the state would seek to deport to its southern neighbor.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_style=”dotted” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||14px|||” custom_padding=”10px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/comms.bhfs.com\/rv\/ff00c469a2811a409c545f9c9e4c9daf931c1105″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Stay Informed – Health Care, Tax, Immigration, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources, Transportation, Defense, Education and Labor, Trade, Telecommunications, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, and More.
