Fortunately, not all of our legislative battles during the fiscal year were defensive. In several instances described below, the National Committee helped enact legislation beneficial to older Americans. In addition, we began working on supporting the campaigns of pro-Social Security and Medicare congressional candidates and incumbents in the 2018 election cycle. The National Committees main accomplishments include: - building enough opposition in the senate to defeat the "health care freedom act" (also known as the "skinny repeal"), legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), on July 27, 2017. In addition, in late September 2017, maintaining sufficient opposition to prevent a vote in the Senate on Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidys (R-LA) ACA repeal legislation. Both bills would have left millions of Americans uninsured and would have been particularly harmful to mature, older and disabled Americans. - Working with other advocacy organizations to enact the "over-the-counter (otc) hearing aid act of 2017," which will encourage the development of these devices by requiring that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provide for the regulation of OTC hearing aids within three years. This legislation was included in the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 and signed into law by the President on August 18, 2017 (P.L. 115-52). - Ensuring that proposals in the House-passed fiscal year 2018 budget resolution that would have slashed funding to Medicare and Medicaid, repealed the Affordable Care Act and made it easier for Congress to cut Social Security did not become law. - Working with other advocacy groups to enact several favorable Medicare extensions and proposals, including: repealing the annual payment limits ("caps") for medicare outpatient therapy services, including physical therapy, speech-language pathology services, and occupational therapy; extending for two years funding for outreach and education activities for Medicare beneficiaries, specifically, for the State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), Area Agencies on Aging, Aging and Disability Resource Centers, and The National Center for Benefits and Outreach Enrollment; extending and expanding the Medicare Independence at Home demonstration; extending the temporary increase in ambulance fee schedule rates for all ground ambulance services (e.g., two percent urban add-on payment and three percent rural add-on payment) and the super-rural ambulance add-on payments for five years; accelerating the closure of the Medicare Part D program coverage gap, the phase known as the "donut hole" where beneficiaries are responsible for a greater portion of their prescription drug costs, with the beneficiary contribution decreasing to 25 percent of prescription costs in 2019 instead of 2020 under previous law. These provisions were included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which was signed into law by the President on February 9, 2018 (P.L. 115-123). - Working with other advocacy groups to persuade the House of Representatives and the Senate to approve H.R. 4547, the "strengthening protections for social security beneficiaries act of 2017," which will provide significant new protections for those vulnerable seniors whose Social Security benefits are paid through a representative payee. Persuading congressional appropriators to include in the fiscal year 2018 Omnibus Appropriations bill increased funding for: the Social Security Administrations operating budget ($480 million increase over FY 2017), State Health Insurance Assistance Program ($2 million increase over FY 2017) and Older Americans Act programs, including: Supportive Services and Senior Centers: $34.9 million increase over FY 2017; Congregate Meals: $40 million increase over FY 2017; Home Delivered Meals: $19 million increase over FY 2017; Preventive Health: $5 million increase over FY 2017; and National Family Caregiver Support Program: $30 million increase over FY 2017. This legislation was signed into law by the President on March 23, 2018 (P.L. 115-141). - Working with other advocacy groups to get the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act signed it into law on January 22, 2018 (P. L. 115-119). Under the RAISE Act, HHS must create a national family caregiver strategy based on recommendations from an advisory council comprising federal agencies and representatives from the private and public sectors including family caregivers, health care providers, and employers. Testimony before Congress In September 2017, Max Richtman submitted testimony for the record of a Senate Committee on Finance hearing on Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidys (R-LA) ACA repeal legislation. - In November 2017, Max Richtman testified before the Senate Democratic Policy and Communications Committee at a hearing entitled, "who's paying the gop's trillion dollar tax bill?
