COVID-19 #Vaccinate4All Campaign Briefing

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) into law that will reduce health care costs, expand access to coverage, and ensure nearly everyone who buys their own individual or family health insurance through a Marketplace can receive a tax credit to reduce their premiums. The ARP will also reduce poverty by providing child tax credits for families’ income taxes, and supports jobs for public health and healthcare providers. Individuals with incomes below $75K or couples below $150K will receive $1400 and unemployment recipients will receive an extra $300/week until September. ART supports pregnant women, children, and struggling families can maintain access to the essentials during the emergency, like housing, diapers, internet service, soap, and food. NHMA supports the ART and will educate our members to understand we need these changes to become permanent.

NHMA supported the expanding Medicaid which is the largest health care program in the country, covering about 1 in 5 Americans, including millions of children, older adults, people with disabilities, and nearly 2 million veterans. This year Medicaid should support COVID-19 vaccinations and expand since so many more will be impacted by the pandemic.

NHMA supported the importance of expanding policies to improve the environment and has met with the Secretary of the Department of Energy on the new focus on decreasing energy from fossil fuels such as supporting the development of electrical cars. 

NHMA State Advocacy: NHMA invited physician members to meet with Congresswoman Frankel (Florida) about COVID-19 and Latinos and also supported the California Medicine Scholar Program and Regional Pipeline Programs to the California legislature.

NHMA is proud to announce our #Vaccinate4All Campaign with support from CDC, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and BIO (partial list)
