Below is pasted an excerpt from Patricia Leahy, the National Rehabilitation Association's Legislative advocate, from her January 4, 2017 "Washington Wire". AER's Legislative Committee will keep you posted on developments as the new Congress commences its work. Remember, your voice counts, so if you have concerns, voice them to your House and Senate representatives. Legislative Update. A short time ago, Senator Mike Enzi, (R.WY.) Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, introduced a Budget Resolution that is the first step in the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is also known as ObamaCare. This Resolution includes instructions to Committees of jurisdiction in both the House and the Senate to repeal the ACA, but does not offer a replacement plan at this time. Debate on the Budget Resolution will begin next week. The Budget Resolution gives "Reconciliation" instructions to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee to find $1 BILLION in deficit reduction from fiscal year 2017 through 2026. These Committees have until January 27, 2017, to draft "Reconciliation" bills which will be considered by the full U.S. Senate and the full U.S. House of Representatives. These "Reconciliation" bills will include the details of a repeal, including how long it will take to replace the ACA, and exactly what parts of the ACA will be repealed. Whatever ultimately emerges from this process will be subject to the close scrutiny of the Senate Parliamentarian to ensure it complies with the Rules of Budget Reconciliation. Anthony R.
