or provider to provider, there are data caps out there as well. and there needs to be a real conversation about data caps. i think it's an old technology, an old revenue stream. but, nonetheless, especially when it comes to telehealth, people should not be timed out when they're accessing care especially what we've learned from veterans. the va took this on. there were some benefits we saw because of it. rather than asking those questions in this hearing, i want to have a follow-up conversation and see if we can get support with the investment across america. one last check from our colleagues? we're trying? very good, senator young, you are recognized, sir. >> all right. thank you, chairman. i really appreciate it. it's good to be with our panelists and i'd like to ask a question of commissioner carr. it's good to see you again. >> good to see you. so my question, i'll lead into it about indiana and our maternal mortality rate. our state has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the country. although it has improved in recent years. the ho

but -- so you will note that what the service provider provided to r.d.a. is really what we've been talking about for the last six, eight, 12 months. we did have our review with the case chair and myself on october 8. and r.d.a. consulted with the dignity fund. that would make zoom meetings more accessible. case and the dignity fund are sending notices and links to surveys as they become available. we are all -- all the service providers at this point are assisting the participants in completing those surveys and sending out as much information as we can about, not only the surveys, but the community forums and the focus groups. then lastly, both case and the dignity fund coalition will provide updates and continue to promote the needs assessment process in the up coming meetings. the dignity fund meeting is scheduled for today from 2:30 to 4:00. and the case meeting is december 13th. this is 5:00. and that concludes my brief report. >> president knutzen: thank you, mr. gallagher. are there any questions from other commissioners about the report? hearing no

this represents vast stretches of this country where health care is not provided by massive providers but by smaller facilities run by local communities. while a 1% also staff may be insignificant to the former, it is fatal to the latter. rural america will face a crisis. the application should be denied and i will open up to the cortopassi has questions. >> would you discuss the preemption issue briefly? >> yes. this regulation, the secretary says that it is intended to preempt an inconsistent state laws with respect to vaccination requirements. the most about example i can point to is 20-7-134 of the arkansas code that prohibits as condition of employment any vaccination requirement. >> that is ironic since the government relies on those other vaccinations to argue for this vaccination. are all of the party states in the same position with respect to preemption? >> the district court in this case at the very least cited that arkansas, wyoming, and missouri are similar situated and there are other states that also have laws that are preempted by this regulation. the key point here is

whether a patient to their provider or provider to provider telemetry services, there's data caps out there as well. and there needs to be a real conversation about -- it'sen old revenue stream but nonetheless when it comes to telehealth people should not be timed out when they are accessing care. especially what we've learned from veterans. the va took this on. and there was some benefits that we saw because of it. so rather than asking those questions in this hearing, i want to have a follow up conversation about this. and see if there is a way that we can get some bipartisan support in looking at this as we're modernizing, especially with the investment across america. one last check for any of ore ther other colleagues? senator young, you are recognized, sir. >> all right. thank you chairman. really appreciate it. and it is good to be with our panelists i'd like to ask a question of commissioner carr. incidentally it is good to see you again, commissioner. so my question, i'll lead into it by laying the groundwork about indiana and our maternal mortality rates. unfortunately our s

the only providers may be primary care providers, nurses, pharmacists. they are essential to rural families and there arere times when specialty care is needed. when there isn't a specialist close by, telehealth can get patients to the healthcare theyt need through the use of technology. telehealth services are critical and nursing home facilities, my state we have strong programs designed to bring on-demand support to facilities to help avoid certain emergency department transfers. >> the bipartisan care zach played an important role in further expanding access route the covid-19 pandemic i look forward to continuing the conversation with my colleagues at the senate finance committee on the path forward for reimbursement post pandemic i will continue to advocate the expansion of broadbandrv services to take advantage of telehealth services any broadband funding goes to underserved areas so we can expand next-generation services like telehealth. the sec plays an important role to expand telehealth services when congress acting in a bipartisan manner has

the only providers may be primary care providers, nurses, pharmacists. these providers are essential to rural families and there are times when specialty care is needed, and when there isn't a specialist close by, telehealth can help get patients to the medical care they need from a remote location, through the use of technology. telehealth services are also critical in nursing home facilities. in my state, we have strong programs designed to bring on-demand support into facilities to help avoid unnecessary emergency department transfers. by reducing unnecessary senior hospitalizations -- i should say my my reducing unnecessary senior hospitalizations act or the rush act would help facilitate more arrangements like we have in south dakota, allowing medical groups to collaborate with nursing homes to provide telehealth services through a medicare alternative payment model. i'm also pleased to support the bipartisan connect for health act, which aims to expand telehealth services through medicare and is supported by more than half of the united states sena

providers and teams but for community care providers as well. the first step of that is to take a look at ways that we can create a preferred provider system and network, where community care providers, who are working with veterans, are incentivized to engage in the same training that v.h.a. clinicians are engaged in and in turn, becoming then a preferred provider within the network for veterans, based upon their increased awareness and acumen with lethal means safety. >> and is this the only criteria to obtain the preferred provider status? >> this is the only criteria i am aware of because i am in on the discussions regard to lethal means safety. i don't know if there are discussions outside of lethal means safety training and applied to preferred provider. >> and as we close, do you know if this goal on the requirements will be complete by september 30th, which would be the end of the fiscal year, beginning of fiscal 2022. >> complete by the conclusion of fy twoorks which would be september. >> the goals would be complete. if you could have

that can be helpful in providing the support needed to find mental health providers. the provision of mental health is a critical went united states that is not specific to the refugee community or afghan community. so much is reliant on the availability of mental health services locally, but we are working closely with some providers like the u.s. committee for refugees and immigrants and others to deploy mental health resources to critical areas that need essentially an influx of that expertise to provide care to afghans in particular given the trauma that they have endured. it is something that we are continuing to work through, and how we can to make sure that we are not just reliant on some of those places where they are not mental health provisions. >> thank you. >> will -- real quick, if there is a response or question and we will wrap it up. >> represented the city of west sacramento, i appreciate your presence here in the information that you provided. i share the concerns of the mayor from fremont who explains the cost of making sure folks get the resources

we are beginning to see a number of products and resources provided $21.8 million provided on 58 projects to try to expand their reach into the community and will. continue to look at 2501 funding and ways in which we encourage both hbcus and other cooperators to provide technical assistance in connection between underserved communities and producers and usda. we've recentlyov t announced $75 million of resource under american rescue planon to create that bridge, thought connection between producers and usda and look for expansion of that cooperative effort. our inner cs announced 50 million initiative, over 118 cooperators contracted to provide information and assistance in terms of conservation programs. rmaia extending $7 million to expand outreach so people understand a wide range of crop insurance tools available so there's concerted effort here to make sure we do a better job connecting hbcus are at the center. >> thank you. i helped author the community farm bill, it's important we work to ensure that but broadly speaking, how can an sia institutions, as it relates to this? >> we'v

provides. and that's the reason here, to make sure that folks have the full range of capacities available with the internet. >> so what does the department plan to do to police the net neutrality? because this is usda, not fcc, if the provider is not living up to the obligations to commit to net neutrality, how does that benefit the providers of services in rural application? >> the point is to ensure in the application that there is a process and mechanism by which we can assure performance. and obviously there are resources being provided over a period of time. and in it turns out that the services are not what people were promised, then their recourse is to basically suggest a repayment of those resources. so at the end of the day, it's financially beneficial for folks to try to see if they can live up to the responsibilities in their application. if they don't want to use that, if they don't want to make that commitment, they don't have to. >> mr. secretary, i'm so sorry, i have to reclaim

that's 30 providers across the country. unacceptable. the secretary's response stated without a national mandate or incentive for non-va community providers to take this course, va will likely continue to face notable challenges advancing the mission of increasing the competency of the community, and community-based health care providers to better identify, assess, intervene and treat veterans at risk of suicide, end quote. now, during the committee's hearing with secretary mcdonough in march, i asked about opportunities for the secretary to use his own existing authorities to further expand mandatory lethal means safety trainings, and i was encouraged by his commitment to looking into this critical issue. so, dr. miller, my question is, can you provide an update on any steps the va has taken in the last six months or other actions that might be planned to expand lethal means safety trains for va staff, community care providers and caregivers? >> thank you. this is an important issue. we share the perspective that this is critically impo

we need to provide that 350 kilowatts. as the guest pointed out, be cars have not been able to charge at that speed until recently. the average charging speed of new ev models has gone up three times in the last five model years. it is now up to 150 kilowatts average, which is for those who are not electrical engineers, that's nine miles of range per minute. that is the average. the vehicles coming to market that can use the full 350 kilowatts, they can provide 20 miles of range permanent -- per minute. i think the guess we'll find if he buys a new electric vehicle, it is faster, reliability -- reliability has gotten better. he will be able to charge in 15 or 220 units. -- 20 minutes. the last point about whether the 300 and 50 kilowatt -- 350 kilowatts station we build along highway corridors. we built more than 300 stations today. we are the first to the boy this technology. when we deployed for the first time, it had never been done before. it is at more than 350 stations in the u.s.. this is the future in our view. ped

that can also be helpful in providing the support needed to find mental health providers. the provision of mental health is a critical one to the united states. that's that specific to the refugee community with afghan community. so much is reliant on what the availability of mental health services are locally but we are working really closely with some providers like the u.s. committee for refugees and immigrants and others to deploy mental health resources to critical areas that need essentially an influx of that expertise to provide care to afghans in particular given that, they've endured and it is something were continue to work through, how we can make sure we're not just reliant on some of the places where there's not mental health provisions. >> thank you. >> were out of time. real quick state your question her, and if there's response, will get a quick one and then we will wrap it up. last one will be right here. >> thank you, mayor garcetti. i represent the city of west sacramento. appreciate your presence and the information you provided. i should concerns of th

if it can provide and then be there provide the opportunity to learn. in the pandemic made us realize we could use virtual classrooms to ensure that every student has every opportunity to learn no matter where they live. empowering schools and teachers to innovate to create projects and me dedicated $5 million to launch hawaii online portal for education which is developing curriculum for distance learning and additional learning for teachers includes everything from stem education one of these projects and with that initiative on hawaii island. and then to work to gather with a career and business opportunities and then to create enhanced learning activity to engage and inspire students beyond graduation. this community led initiative is a model for building communities across the state. and it's time to retool the underutilized community resources. for generations our public library has been quietly supporting our students and community. we wante to reimagine how we use those facilities. we want to be the role model for other libraries across the stat

>> the survey still provides a lot of benefits to the agency. first of all it makes it permissible for the agency to set the rate at the acquisition cost is determined by the survey. now the agency has to show a lot more than that. i don't think there's any dispute about the agency showing in this case and i took my friend to accept there is no debate about the data but that's it he goes and craddick about the case because remember hhs runs the program so it has the data but there's all kinds of other data about hospitals hhs could use under the subclause if it took the survey as a basis. a. >> how often have you conducted a subclause survey? >> the agency has only conducted one since the statute was enacted while the case was pending. i would note in the same instructions congress gave to the agency to conduct periodic surveys it instructed them to take into account sub 14 to it told the agency to take into account the recommendations that conducted the original study back in 2004 and the recommendations were don't do very many studies because

it provides much of the natural gas. ukraine gets fees from that. more importantly, in a way it's an insurance policy. because this is something russia cares about. and then finally, of course, it provides natural gas to the people of ukraine. so this is a bad idea. it's become an even worse idea. and we believe that sanctions are appropriate. we also believe that germany needs to step forward, understanding that ukraine is a sovereign, independent country whose territorial integrity is being threatened. they are part of greater europe. and i agree with my colleagues that it doesn't end here if we do not take strong action to deter russia from making a terrible mistake. >> first of all, i disagree with your premise it can't be stopped. it can be stopped. and will be stopped if the administration takes the action that it should take and should have taken some time ago. let's not get the nord stream 2 thing lost in the overall objective here and that is to see that the invasion does not take place. there's a couple other things we urged the administra

we're also provide providing billions more for roads and so much more. we saw today when the bridge in disrepair, it literally can threaten lives. >> the infrastructure bill that passed last year will funnel $110 billion to states so crews can repair and replace crumbling bridges. >>> house speaker nancy pelosi in town to promote millions of dollars in funding coming to sfo. sfo set to get $49 million through the infrastructure bill that passed back in november. and the funding would pay for a new checkout lobby at the harvey milk terminal and upgrade the airport power system. pelosi also said democrats are open to working with republicans to tackle the issue of infrastructure. >> you really need to have them take pride in what's happening. there are -- they are eager to vote no and take the doe. but when she show up at ground breakings and ribbon cuttings we have to make them know we have more to do. we need their help going forward. >> pelosi also pushed for the president's build back better bill which promising more funding for infrastructure also for

in the country, and they all depend on information noaa provides. but as more private sector companies, noaa must seek to balance its capacity with commercial data, simply put, noaa is no longer the only provider in the market and often times noaa's collection costs more than that acquired and the same quantity from a private sector. we can't assume endless increasing budgets, and at some point the balloon will pop. believe me i want noaa to be successful, and we can stand up programs to acquire data that private industries cannot collect while preparing for a commercially competitive future. i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you, ranking member lucas. at this time i would like to give the opportunity for representative suzanne bonamici. >> thank you. it's really a pleasure to introduce dr. richard spinrad, the current administrator of national oceanic and atmospheric administration. he's an internationally renowned scientist, and in 2014 president obama nominated richard spinrad, and he is the head of the national oceanic and atmospheri

provide healthcare for another 110,000 residents under our medicaid program. a 34% increase since the start of the pandemic. and make sure that everyone had good healthcare coverage. at the same time, we distributed critical medical supplies including p.p.e.'s, test kits, vaccines and medicines to protect the elderly rural communities as well as entire states. i deeply appreciate the thousands involved in this task whose scale and complexity rivals anything we've ever done statewide. vaccinations have proven to be our strongest weapon against coronavirus. in all, we provided more than 2.5 million shots at hundreds of clinics across the state. needless to say this effort remains ongoing. but the virus has been relentless in exposing our healthcare infrastructure including shortages of doctors and nurses. we're asking the legislature to fund the expansion of the university of hawaii doctor-residency program in this away, we can increase the number of doctors during their residency on the neighbor island from only five to 50. more importantly, the numbers tell us

it provides for quality drinking water. it keeps electric generation cost manageable. and it ensures nebraska continues to be the best place in the world to live, work and raise a family. [applause] if we fail to secure our water supply from the south platte river, we can expect that over 90% of the water that comes to us from colorado will be reduced. we must act, preserve, protect, manage our water supply for future nebraskans. i am also requesting $200 million to be allocated to the projects presented by the star wars special committee. i am not going to explain star wars, let the speaker do that. these projects will also secure access to water. and they provide the additional promise to grow the good life in tourism and recreation. [applause] in addition, i am recommending $5 million for the true levy, $60 million to restore and protect drinking water supply systems in our rural areas such as cedar and knox county. in $23 million in repairs for fort laramie canal tunnel. this year we have the rare task of spending $1,040,000,000 that's been allocated to nebraska to

but do we have enough resources to provide for the pandemic loans?as we demonstrated that's not a good argument. but the current level of oversight includes just over 180 positions. the problem is a non- supplemental budget authority only provides for 125 and at the supplemental funds by fiscal year 2024 that can be a key moment but i believe that annual resource level i worked with omb and they worked with me and to please support to match the landscape. and then for that deep consideration when the request is made ppp was designed to expeditiously find with the fraud and eligibility controls and rather during the loan forgiveness period. i know oig has identified 70000 loans four.$6 billion a potentially fraudulent ppp loans and this might be the tip of the iceberg. a large majority of the ppp loans partially or fully forgiveness does oig have a better sense of total fraud? i don't remember if you gave a specific sense and if not you have a more distinct picture? the work on loan forgiveness those that are ongoing currently with some indication of

they provide about a third of the hospitals in the country and provide a huge amount of uncompensated care, west virginia, the states listed, arkansas in the amicus brief, texas, rural areas. and those hospitals say and congress is well aware of this and so to say overpayment i think is part of the picture but doesn't take account of the whole 340b picture which is more complicated. >> two points. congress allowed hhs to take out the whole count. >> the agency would have to treat the hospitals the same. >> no. subclause one allowed -- >> i'm sorry. it's a constraint they did that -- the agency would have to treat the hospitals the same only if they do the survey, so it's a precondition. >> my point again is that's not what the statute says. to take your more factual point on i would urge you to read as i know you have the amicus briefs of the federation american hospital and the rural hospital filed on our side of the case and those explain that the rural hospitals in particular have rely on the offsetting 3.2 percentage that we made in this rule to provide care to their patients, and

independent provider assistance center will provide services virtually. we're continuing to meet with the individuals who we served through the public guardian and conservator either in person or virtually depending on the rules of the long-term care facility where the individual resides. and the d.a.s. benefits and resource hub will also provide services virtually. we're also continuing to try to get the word out as to the importance of boosters as we all keep hearing the omicron variant is extremely contagious and we have heard of many breakthrough cases, so it's really important for us to spread the word to friends, neighbors, even strangers, to get boosted if they're eligible. for that effort, i wanted to let you know that lighthouse provided boosters for the people we serve throughout the month of december. and the university served clinics in january specifically for intellectual and developmental disabilities. we received a program memo from cda, california department of aging, to start supporting h.i.v. services for older adults, which is a new fa

they provide the electricity supply. and so we have a bill page within the energy bill that customers received from pg&e. and we also have a net energy metering program as i was saying before. our program is focused on the electric supply portion of the net metering program. net meters typically provides bill credits for the generation supply and the distribution and transmission portion of the charges that customers pay. so this is the proposed decision won't have any democrat impact on our program. we have the ability to design our own the net meters and customers will see and expect our customers over time to see some of these charges come on to the bill. it won't happen immediately with a certain amount of grandfathering under the proposal that has been held and there would be a grandfathering for certain amount of time of customers who have solar already. and who this affects the most is the new customers going solar. again, it doesn't directly impact the program and to provide the net metering benefits that we have

so spotify has been generally perceived as this media treme service provider streaming service provider that has been quite hip and cool, and everyone has been using for music. but actually what we have seen in the past years, and even last year, i think, and in the spring, spotify announced new forms of content monetization. and this is bringing more and more voices to the table. and voices, we're getting paid and they are getting paid for instance to a new subscription model that's bought it by using just bought it is now becoming really a media company and it's just courtney was mentioning it is very important that they have rules and track that they design rules and that they also align with the legal rules around the world. right. so, catalina, how much pressure have social media sites in general, really been under to tackle misinformation when it comes to code with vaccines throughout the pandemic. just give us a sense about so i think that misinformation is a very special category because platforms and we see this also with matter they have been really trying to develop policies

i think it will help provider in the city. it is an important step but i agree that there is definitely more that could be done for low-income people who may not afford alone. maybe there is more room for grants for those in existing, existing homeowners to expand and provide more income. this is a fabulous event listening to your conversations about this. i learned so much throughout this thing. thank you very much, supervisor melgar and mar. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> caller: good afternoon, supervisors. i am liz. i work for low income investment and cpac chair. i support the housing innovation program to offer support to purchase their own homes which is much needed in the city. this will help family child care providers who face high risk much of displacement as renters. when they lose their home they lose the child care business and the neighborhoods they are serving and lose the child care spot that are much needed. we hope up support this program and we look forward to ways to support the early child should
