To repeal the annual fee on health insurance providers enacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Client: MVP SERVICE CORP. · Firm: THE PETRIZZO GROUP, INC.
Advocated concerns with negative consequences of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), specifically 1) new taxes that will cause premium increases and raise cost of health care coverage; 2) cuts to Medicare Advantage funding; 3)weak individual mandate resulting in adverse selection; 4) HHS proposed regulation that omits fraud and abuse prevention, concurrent review and costs associated with the federally-mandated ICD-10 program from health care quality improvement programs. Encouraged Members to co-sponsor a bill (H.R. 1370) introduced by Representative Boustany (R-LA) that would repeal the Small-Business Health Insurance Tax (HIT) enacted by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Raised awareness about the impact of significant funding cuts included in the ACA and encourages Congress to restore the MA program funding to pre-ACA levels. Encouraged Members to co-sponsor the bipartisan Medicare Beneficiary Preservation Act of 2011 (H.R. 1580/S. 1479), which was introduced by Representatives Gonzalez (D-TX) and Buchanan (R-FL) and Senators Casey (D-PA) and Toomey (R-PA). This bill would provide a backstop for Medicare enrollees to find a suitable health plan by repealing ACA changes to MA open enrollment dates that limit beneficiary choice and flexibility. The bill would also lengthen open enrollment periods and allowas was the case before ACA changesenrollees to change from an MA plan to the original fee-for-service plan, or vice versa, or to a more suitable MA plan once a year during the first three months.
