HOWEVER, THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF A DIVIDED 118TH CONGRESS (2023-2024) FORCED US INTO A MORE DEFENSIVE MODE TO ENSURE THAT ENACTMENT OF LEGISLATION TO SUSPEND OR INCREASE THE DEBT LIMIT DID NOT INCLUDE CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE CONTINUED TO PUSH FOR LEGISLATION TO EXTEND SOCIAL SECURITY SOLVENCY AND IMPROVE BENEFITS, ADDRESS THE ABUSES OF PRIVATE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS AND CALLED ON APPROPRIATORS TO ADEQUATELY FUND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AND OLDER AMERICANS ACT PROGRAMS. TO FOLLOW ARE THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S MAIN LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING OUR FISCAL YEAR: ENACTMENT OF THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE "BUILD BACK BETTER ACT"): SINCE THE MEDICARE MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2003 - THE LAW THAT CREATED THE PART D PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFIT - BECAME LAW, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS LABORED TO PROVIDE THE MEDICARE PROGRAMS AND BENEFICIARIES WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO CONTAIN AND LOWER SKYROCKETING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES. ON AUGUST 16, 2022, SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE TOWARD THAT GOAL WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED INTO LAW THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF 2022, WHICH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICE REFORMS: - FOR THE FIRST TIME, REQUIRES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO NEGOTIATE PRICES FOR SOME TOP-SELLING DRUGS COVERED UNDER MEDICARE. - REQUIRES DRUG COMPANIES TO PAY REBATES IF PRICES RISE FASTER THAN INFLATION FOR DRUGS USED BY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES. - ELIMINATES THE 5 PERCENT COINSURANCE REQUIREMENT FOR CATASTROPHIC COVERAGE IN MEDICARE PART D IN 2024, ADDS A $2,000 CAP ON PART D OUT-OF-POCKET SPENDING IN 2025, AND LIMITS ANNUAL INCREASES IN PART D PREMIUMS FOR 2024-2030. - LIMITS MONTHLY COST SHARING FOR INSULIN PRODUCTS TO $35 FOR PEOPLE WITH MEDICARE. - EXPANDS ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICARE PART D LOW-INCOME SUBSIDY FULL BENEFITS. - ELIMINATES COST SHARING FOR ADULT VACCINES COVERED UNDER MEDICARE PART D AND IMPROVES ACCESS TO ADULT VACCINES UNDER MEDICAID AND THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM. LAID THE GROUNDWORK TO PREVENT A GOVERNMENT DEFAULT WHICH WOULD HAVE STOP PAYMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS AND TO ENSURE THAT LEGISLATION TO AVOID A DEFAULT DID NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE OR MEDICAID BENEFITS: - ON JANUARY 19, 2023, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REACHED THE STATUTORY LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT IT COULD BORROW TO PAY FOR SPENDING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY CONGRESS AND CURRENT AND PAST PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS. - IF CONGRESS FAILED TO RAISE OR SUSPEND THE DEBT LIMIT AFTER THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT HAD EXHAUSTED "EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES" TO AVOID A DEFAULT, THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE DEFAULTED ON ITS LEGALLY BINDING FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, A GLOBAL ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE WOULD HAVE LIKELY RESULTED AND PAYMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BENEFITS COULD HAVE BEEN JEOPARDIZED. - IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SUPPORT TO PASS A BILL TO AVOID A DEFAULT, HOUSE REPUBLICANS REPEATEDLY SAID DURING THE 2022 ELECTION CAMPAIGN THAT THIS LEGISLATION MUST INCLUDE CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, INCLUDING: - CUTTING THE SOCIAL SECURITY COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENTS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE RETIREES. - RAISING THE SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT AGE TO 70 AND INCREASING THE MEDICARE ELIGIBILITY AGE TO 67, AND. - ENDING TRADITIONAL MEDICARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES. - DURING THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF OUR FISCAL YEAR (THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE 118TH CONGRESS), THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE URGED THE PRESIDENT AND CAPITOL HILL DEMOCRATS TO INSIST THAT CUTS IN EARNED BENEFITS AND BUDGET COMMISSIONS AND/OR PROCEDURAL CHANGES AIMED AT CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE NOT BE INCLUDED IN ANY DEBT CEILING LEGISLATION. - BY REPEATEDLY REMINDING THE PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS OPPOSED CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE HELPED PRESIDENT BIDEN PERSUADE CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS DURING THE FEBRUARY 7, 2023 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS TO TAKE SUCH CUTS OFF THE TABLE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO SUSPEND OR INCREASE THE DEBT LIMIT. BUILT SUPPORT FOR THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS AND THE FULL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE, THE "SOCIAL SECURITY 2100: A SACRED TRUST ACT": - DEVOTED CONSIDERABLE ADVOCACY RESOURCES TO ADVANCING THE 117TH CONGRESS VERSION OF THE "SOCIAL SECURITY 2100: A SACRED TRUST ACT" IN THE HOUSE THROUGH TESTIMONY TO THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SOCIAL SECURITY, MEETINGS WITH KEY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ABOUT THE BILL, BUILDING A BROAD COALITION OF ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 5723 AND MOBILIZING THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S GRASSROOTS MEMBERS TO URGE THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO COSPONSOR AND VOTE FOR THE BILL. WHILE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS CONSIDERED THE SOCIAL SECURITY 2100 ACT, THE HOUSE MAJORITY LEADERSHIP DID NOT BRING THE BILL BEFORE THE FULL HOUSE BEFORE THE 117TH CONGRESS ADJOURNED. CONTINUE TO LEAD A COALITION OF MEDICARE BENEFICIARY GROUPS TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES THAT THE MEDICARE DIRECT CONTRACTING/REACH ACO DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM WILL RESULT IN THE PRIVATIZATION OF MEDICARE: - THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE GATHERED A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT PRIMARILY REPRESENT MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES TO MEET REGULARLY WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE ALLEGATIONS AND TO PRESS FOR SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE THAT DIRECT CONTRACTING ENTITIES DO NOT COMPROMISE PATIENT CARE. THE COALITION HAS APPROACHED THIS ISSUE BY EMBRACING THE MISSION OF ACOS TO IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION AND THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS WHILE SCRUTINIZING THE PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE INSURERS AND OTHER INVESTOR BACKED COMPANIES IN THE MODEL. - IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS RAISED BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE-LED COALITION, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE RESTRUCTURING AND REBRANDING THE "DIRECT CONTRACTING ENTITIES" (DCES) DEMONSTRATION PROJECT. - EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2023, DCE'S WERE RENAMED THE "ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION REALIZING EQUITY, ACCESS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH" (ACO REACH) MODEL. - PROVIDER CONTROL OF THE ACO REACHS INCREASED FROM 25 PERCENT TO 75 PERCENT - LIKE ORIGINAL ACOS. IN ADDITION, THE REMAINING 25 PERCENT OF AN ACO GOVERNING BOARD MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE BENEFICIARY REPRESENTATIVE AND A CONSUMER ADVOCATE. - CMS ALSO SAID THAT THE REBRANDED MODEL WOULD INCLUDE BETTER BENEFICIARY PROTECTIONS, INCLUDING: -UP FRONT SCREENING OF PROVIDER GROUPS APPLYING TO BECOME AN ACO REACH. - ROBUST MONITORING OF ACO REACH PROVIDERS. - GREATER TRANSPARENCY DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT. - SHARING MORE INFORMATION WITH PROVIDERS. - STRONGER PROTECTIONS AGAINST ACO REACH "UPCODING" - THE ABUSIVE PRACTICE OF INFLATING THE SICKNESS OF THEIR PATIENTS TO GET HIGHER PAYMENTS FROM MEDICARE. - CMS OFFICIALLY ENDED - INSTEAD OF PAUSING - THE TRUMP-ERA "GEO MODEL" THAT WOULD HAVE AGGRESSIVELY SHIFTED LARGE NUMBERS OF BENEFICIARIES INTO MANAGED CARE PLANS. COALITIONS: DURING THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF FY 2023, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE PERSUADED AARP TO AGREE TO A PROPOSAL TO JOINTLY HOLD FIVE TOWNHALL MEETINGS ON THE VALUE OF SOCIAL SECURITY. THE GOAL OF THESE FORUMS IS TO ENSURE THAT CURRENT AND FUTURE BENEFICIARIES BELIEVE THAT IMPROVING SOCIAL SECURITY IS IN THEIR SELF-INTEREST AND THAT THIS PERSONAL STAKE MOTIVATES THEM TO BE ADVOCATES FOR THE PROGRAM. PLANNING BEGAN TO HOLD SOCIAL SECURITY TOWNHALL MEETINGS DURING THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 2023 IN RICHMOND, VA, PHILADELPHIA, PA, LANSING, MI, MILWAUKEE, WI AND LAS VEGAS, NV. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE CONTINUED TO PLAY A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL OF AGING ORGANIZATIONS (LCAO), A COALITION OF 69 NATIONAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNED WITH THE WELL-BEING OF AMERICA'S OLDER POPULATION AND COMMITTED TO REPRESENTING THEIR INTERESTS IN THE POLICY-MAKING ARENA. FIVE OF LCAO'S MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE, TAKE TURNS CHAIRING THE COALITION. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE WAS ALSO AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE STRENGTHENING SOCIAL SECURITY COALITION (SSSC) STEERING COMMITTEE AND THE CONSORTIUM FOR CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES SOCIAL SECURITY TASKFORCE.

THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR, THE PAC MADE $51,549.92 IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO CANDIDATES AND COMMITTEES.
