In addition, the 113th Congress officially convened, with both House Speaker Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-NV) retaining their respective positions at the helm of each chamber.

With less than a month to go before the much-anticipated November elections, substantive health policy developments in Washington have largely been replaced by political rhetoric among candidates hoping for an effective message to their would-be constituents. However, with health issues including the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid near the top of every politician's to-do list, the likelihood of significant health policy conversations post-election remains strong. Particularly as lawmakers grapple with tax cut expirations and drastic, across-the-board spending cuts occurring simultaneously.

With health care receiving dedicated time during the first Presidential debate, it's clearly an issue that candidates up and down the ticket will be raising with voters in the last month before the November elections.

Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
With Congress now in recess until after the November elections, campaigns across the country are in full swing. In many of these races, particularly the presidential contest, health care, and specifically the Affordable Care Act and Medicare reform, has taken a front seat as the debate over how to best address the nation's health care problems rages on. Given the major policy decisions facing the Congress in the post-election lame-duck session and given a continued fight for control of the White House and the Congress next year, expect the health care debates to remain a central theme of the campaign season.

Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
In what is likely to become the last week of legislative activity in Washington before the November elections, the Senate hopes to clear a six-month continuing resolution (CR) that will keep the federal government funded into next year, regardless of the outcome of any lame-duck actions to address pending sequestration cuts, expiring tax provisions and/or cuts to physician reimbursement, among other items that will be considered. The House passed the measure last week, but Senate consideration has stalled until at least later today.
September 14, 2012
Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
Congress returned to Washington this week intent on passing a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the federal government funded beyond the expiration of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30. While the legislative calendar initially provided two weeks of votes in September, the House moved quickly this week to approve a CR before adjourning roughly half-way through the scheduled work for the month. Senate Majority Leader Reid indicated that the Senate will take up the House-passed CR next week and follow suit by adjourning in advance of the November elections as well.
September 7, 2012
Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
With both Republicans and Democrats concluding their National Conventions, officially naming their respective presidential tickets, and Congress's August district work period coming to a post-Labor Day close, the 2012 campaign season has shifted into overdrive. Meanwhile, Congress returns to Washington next week with intentions to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the federal government for six months. The current fiscal year ends Sept. 30. The CR would eliminate the drama of shutting down the government and moves some budget issues to the next Congress.

August 3, 2012
Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
Congress has left for its August recess. Prior to recessing, Congressional leaders reached a tentative deal on a six-month Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the federal government past the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 (Sept. 30, 2012). It is anticipated that Congress will vote on the CR when they return in September. If this occurs, this will avoid a government shutdown. However, this means that any work done by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees is negated because their bills will not have standing in a new Congress when the CR will expire. It is not anticipated that Congress will be in session long when they return, because of the elections. That leaves the difficult issues of expiring tax provisions, the pending 30 percent physician reimbursement reduction and other issues waiting to be acted upon until after the November elections.

MWC NC Lobbyists Rank Among Most Influential

Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
As the countdown to Congress's August recess continues, Republicans and Democrats are looking to position themselves for a month of interactions with constituents when they'll each attempt to sell their side of the story of why they deserve the voters' support come November. Though it appears Republican leaders in the House are willing to relent on defunding the Affordable Care Act in order to avoid pushing a government shutdown to the brink, the expiration of tax cuts at year's end, as well as the sequester that begins in 2013, are fueling partisan divides. Meanwhile, state governors continue to mull their Medicaid options, now with the assistance of an updated score from the Congressional Budget Office, assessing the implications of last month's Supreme Court ruling.

Weekly Washington Healthcare Update
Welcome to McGuireWoods Consulting's Weekly Washington Healthcare Update. With three more weeks of votes scheduled before the August recess and less than four months until potentially pivotal elections in November, Republicans and Democrats continue to intensify their rhetoric, positioning themselves not only for electoral victory, but also keeping a close eye on the end-of-year lame-duck session. With major obstacles like massive scheduled spending reductions, a debt ceiling vote, "doc fix" legislation, expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and other last-minute priorities, heated political discussion promises to linger long after the summer heat has passed.

Last week, after months of speculation and study, the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation to allow for the exploration and development of natural gas resources from shale rock formations through the process of hydraulic fracturing. Previously the state had operated under a law adopted more than six decades ago that prohibited horizontal drilling, which is a critical component of the hydraulic fracturing process.

On Thursday, the Senate gave final approval to its version of a $20.1 billion state budget which had significant differences from the House version. Budget writers from both chambers now have to hash out a compromise plan before sending the budget to Governor Bev. Perdue. Perdue, who has already reviewed both versions of the budget, is likely to veto the budget for the second year in a row. In 2011, the Legislature overrode her budget veto with the aid of five House Democrats.

The Growing Appetite for Food (Jobs)
In the ever-growing competition among states and localities to attract new jobs and investments, economic developers often follow fads to appear to be on the cutting edge. One week it's renewable energy. The next week, the hot emerging economic engine is nanotechnology. Yet many governments are now finding that rather than following the pack, they should instead focus on helping to facilitate the growth of the food and beverage sector. Food and beverage companies provide economic stability, good wages and instant credibility (the main players have global name recognition), so economic developers are eager to roll out the red carpet and welcome these companies to their communities.

However, despite deep partisan divides, the House followed the Senate’s lead from last week and passed its version of FDA user fee reauthorization. Bipartisan agreement was also found during oversight of the Department of Veterans Affairs' policies regarding prosthetics and biologics.
