Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - sought exemption for student workers from employer mandate H.R. 5262, H.R. 210, Student Worker Exemption Act TAX-EXEMPT STATUS FOR HOSPITALS UNC Health Care serves patients across the state, including underserved and rural populations. UNC Health Care provides $300 million of uncompensated care annually. Including recently affiliated hospitals, the number is $424 million annually. UNC SYSTEM POLICY PRIORITY Determine common definitions and reforms in such areas as community benefit, charitable care, charges to the uninsured and debt collection. Monitor implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and minimize negative impact on student health insurance plans. Support legislation to address workforce shortages in key health professions. Direct HHS to adopt state reciprocity agreements for practitioner licensure. Such action should be in coordination with physicians, health care practitioners and patient advocates. Medicare and Medicaid Support fair and adequate payment rates for physicians, and support efforts to tie reimbursement rates to reasonable measures of quality over the entire health care sector. Increase federal funding and raise the statutory cap to enable training of additional resident physicians (Increase GME/IME Caps for Residents). Increase Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) to help offset dramatic cuts states may implement due to the weakened economy. Preserve the Medicare Bad Debt Moratorium and maintain the current funding level for bad debts. Ensure that the severity case mix reimbursement is adequate for teaching hospitals (Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) Refinements). Monitor prospective allocation changes for Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments.
Monitor new legislation affecting student veterans attending public universities. Monitor implementation of legislation affecting student veterans. Monitor Administration actions regarding student veterans.
Oppose efforts to reduce funding for Social, Behavioral, and Economic research at NSF and other federal research agencies. Oppose efforts to arbitrarily cap cost reimbursement associated with federally-funded research at institutions of higher education. Minimize the number of federal research grants at NSF and other agencies that require cost-sharing.

Monitor dual use research policy proposals. Support reauthorization of the America COMPETES Act ensuring an increase in the productivity of the national science and technology enterprise. Support legislation or regulatory action to mandate public access to taxpayer-funded research at the NIH and other federal agencies without diminishing copyright protection currently accorded scholarly work. Support legislation that combats abusive practices in the patent system without weakening the strength of patents. Monitor efforts to reform copyright law in the digital age.
The Administration and Congress should harmonize, streamline, and, when possible, eliminate unnecessary and duplicative regulations and reporting requirements. The Administration and Federal agencies should not impose requirements or mandates without the proper statutory authority provided by Congress. When regulations, requirements or mandates are necessary, the Administration and Federal agencies should follow an open and public rule-making process in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Advance recommendations of the Alexander-Mikulski-Burr-Bennet Task Force on regulations and requirements under Department of Education (ED) jurisdiction. Engage the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction on regulatory reform, unfunded mandates reform, and the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Pursue legislation that reinforces the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruling that federal agencies must submit sub-regulatory guidance for review as rules under the CRA. Clarify the definition of rule. Congress should make it clear that the term is intended to be expansive and specifically include documents that implement or interpret law or policy. Advocate for amendment of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to clarify that sub- regulatory guidance is subject to the act. Narrow the definition of good cause exception and require agencies to provide justification to the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction when using the exception. Require federal agencies to perform a cost analysis of sub-regulatory guidance compliance. The sub-regulatory guidance and cost analysis should be published in the Federal Register for public comment. Advocate for proper rule-making process within the bounds of EDs statutory authority for new requirements. Rule-making should be inclusive with reasonable timelines. ED should avoid issuing interpretive rules, policy statements or other guidance that set new legal standards or requirements of the public. If such rules, statements or guidance are necessary then ED should seek public comment. Coordinate rather than duplicate efforts to support student Veterans. Five separate federal agencies have efforts to protect student veterans. Repeal the Affordable Care Act provision mandating employer-sponsored health care for employees working 30-hours-per-week and replace with a provision that applies the threshold to employees working a 40-hours-per-week. Reconcile the differences between immigration reform proposals offered by the Administration and Congress. Support EEO initiatives that are narrowly tailored to remedy documented discrimination in the workplace and carefully drafted to minimize burdens, confusion and unintended consequences. Monitor implementation of the new omni-circular, OMB Circular A-81.
Higher Education Federal Regulatory Compliance issues, Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act Support and promote legislation and Administration priorities in accordance with the following GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Consolidate the fourteen higher education tax benefit programs into one tax benefit program. The new tax benefit should be permanent and targeted to lower and modest income students and families. Provide financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need and are academically prepared to succeed. Encourage simplicity and predictability in student financial aid programs. Increase access to higher education, including pre-college advising and outreach. Encourage credential persistence & completion for all students. Support college savings, financial literacy and minimize student indebtedness. Reduce administrative requirements and support accountability. Empower student financial aid professionals with the flexibility to respond to the specific needs of their students. Recommend policies that accommodate the diversity of academic delivery models. Eliminate statutory requirements that use financial aid to enforce unrelated social policies. Validate proposed policy recommendations with research and data analysis. One Federal Grant Program: Consolidate federal higher education grants into one Super Pell program. Align continued grant eligibility with student progress to degree. Permit students to use the grant during any academic term. One Federal Loan Program: Streamline federal student loan programs into a single, income-based repayment program. Implement increased borrower limits: one limit for undergraduate students and one limit for graduate students. Loan repayment should be tied to income. Limit the amount a student may borrow based upon enrollment. Permanently stabilize the program interest rate at 3% plus a markup equal to the interest rate on the 10-year United States Treasury note. Simplify the Aid Determination Process. Simplify the financial aid application (FAFSA) and reduce the required data fields. Require federal agencies to leverage data that resides in other federal databases. Allow students to submit the FAFSA form earlier. Use prior-prior year income data for financial aid determination. Inform students of financial aid eligibility earlier. TAX BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES Federal tax benefits designed to impact college affordability, access, and completion are well-intentioned but flawed. Tax-based student aid: is poorly targeted; does not reach students when they need it most; is complex and difficult to use; and is poorly understood and limits the impact of its intent. UNC SYSTEM POLICY PRIORITY Consolidate the fourteen higher education tax benefit programs into one tax benefit program.

Monitor new legislation affecting student veterans attending public universities. Monitor implementation of legislation affecting student veterans. Monitor Administration actions regarding student veterans.
The Administration and Congress should harmonize, streamline, and, when possible, eliminate unnecessary and duplicative regulations and reporting requirements. The Administration and Federal agencies should not impose requirements or mandates without the proper statutory authority provided by Congress. When regulations, requirements or mandates are necessary, the Administration and Federal agencies should follow an open and public rule-making process in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Advance recommendations of the Alexander-Mikulski-Burr-Bennet Task Force on regulations and requirements under Department of Education (ED) jurisdiction. Engage the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction on regulatory reform, unfunded mandates reform, and the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Pursue legislation that reinforces the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruling that federal agencies must submit sub-regulatory guidance for review as rules under the CRA. Clarify the definition of rule. Congress should make it clear that the term is intended to be expansive and specifically include documents that implement or interpret law or policy. Advocate for amendment of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to clarify that sub- regulatory guidance is subject to the act. Narrow the definition of good cause exception and require agencies to provide justification to the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction when using the exception. Require federal agencies to perform a cost analysis of sub-regulatory guidance compliance. The sub-regulatory guidance and cost analysis should be published in the Federal Register for public comment. Advocate for proper rule-making process within the bounds of EDs statutory authority for new requirements. Rule-making should be inclusive with reasonable timelines. ED should avoid issuing interpretive rules, policy statements or other guidance that set new legal standards or requirements of the public. If such rules, statements or guidance are necessary then ED should seek public comment. Coordinate rather than duplicate efforts to support student Veterans. Five separate federal agencies have efforts to protect student veterans. Repeal the Affordable Care Act provision mandating employer-sponsored health care for employees working 30-hours-per-week and replace with a provision that applies the threshold to employees working a 40-hours-per-week. Reconcile the differences between immigration reform proposals offered by the Administration and Congress. Support EEO initiatives that are narrowly tailored to remedy documented discrimination in the workplace and carefully drafted to minimize burdens, confusion and unintended consequences. Monitor implementation of the new omni-circular, OMB Circular A-81.

Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - sought exemption for student workers from employer mandate H.R. 5262, H.R. 210, Student Worker Exemption Act TAX-EXEMPT STATUS FOR HOSPITALS UNC Health Care serves patients across the state, including underserved and rural populations. UNC Health Care provides $300 million of uncompensated care annually. Including recently affiliated hospitals, the number is $424 million annually. UNC SYSTEM POLICY PRIORITY Determine common definitions and reforms in such areas as community benefit, charitable care, charges to the uninsured and debt collection. Monitor implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and minimize negative impact on student health insurance plans. Support legislation to address workforce shortages in key health professions. Direct HHS to adopt state reciprocity agreements for practitioner licensure. Such action should be in coordination with physicians, health care practitioners and patient advocates. Medicare and Medicaid Support fair and adequate payment rates for physicians, and support efforts to tie reimbursement rates to reasonable measures of quality over the entire health care sector. Increase federal funding and raise the statutory cap to enable training of additional resident physicians (Increase GME/IME Caps for Residents). Increase Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) to help offset dramatic cuts states may implement due to the weakened economy. Preserve the Medicare Bad Debt Moratorium and maintain the current funding level for bad debts. Ensure that the severity case mix reimbursement is adequate for teaching hospitals (Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) Refinements). Monitor prospective allocation changes for Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments.
Higher Education Federal Regulatory Compliance issues, Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act Support and promote legislation and Administration priorities in accordance with the following GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Consolidate the fourteen higher education tax benefit programs into one tax benefit program. The new tax benefit should be permanent and targeted to lower and modest income students and families. Provide financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need and are academically prepared to succeed. Encourage simplicity and predictability in student financial aid programs. Increase access to higher education, including pre-college advising and outreach. Encourage credential persistence & completion for all students. Support college savings, financial literacy and minimize student indebtedness. Reduce administrative requirements and support accountability. Empower student financial aid professionals with the flexibility to respond to the specific needs of their students. Recommend policies that accommodate the diversity of academic delivery models. Eliminate statutory requirements that use financial aid to enforce unrelated social policies. Validate proposed policy recommendations with research and data analysis. One Federal Grant Program: Consolidate federal higher education grants into one Super Pell program. Align continued grant eligibility with student progress to degree. Permit students to use the grant during any academic term. One Federal Loan Program: Streamline federal student loan programs into a single, income-based repayment program. Implement increased borrower limits: one limit for undergraduate students and one limit for graduate students. Loan repayment should be tied to income. Limit the amount a student may borrow based upon enrollment. Permanently stabilize the program interest rate at 3% plus a markup equal to the interest rate on the 10-year United States Treasury note. Simplify the Aid Determination Process. Simplify the financial aid application (FAFSA) and reduce the required data fields. Require federal agencies to leverage data that resides in other federal databases. Allow students to submit the FAFSA form earlier. Use prior-prior year income data for financial aid determination. Inform students of financial aid eligibility earlier. TAX BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES Federal tax benefits designed to impact college affordability, access, and completion are well-intentioned but flawed. Tax-based student aid: is poorly targeted; does not reach students when they need it most; is complex and difficult to use; and is poorly understood and limits the impact of its intent. UNC SYSTEM POLICY PRIORITY Consolidate the fourteen higher education tax benefit programs into one tax benefit program. The new tax benefit should be permanent and targeted to lower and modest income students and families.
