WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare (PQHH) and the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) today commended Representatives Terri Sewell (AL-7) and Adrian Smith (NE-3) for introducing the Preserving Access to Home Health Act of 2023 in the U.S. House of Representatives. If enacted, the bill would safeguard access to essential, home-based, clinically advanced healthcare services by preventing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from implementing cuts as high as $20 billion over the next decade.

Key Points: 
  • "The home health community calls on Congress to ensure the stability that patients and providers urgently need.
  • Since Medicare has again proposed deep cuts to home health in 2024, Congress must act to protect the care their constituents prefer and want."
  • "Data suggest that Medicare's continued cuts to home health are restricting patient access to the safest and lowest-cost care setting following a hospital stay."
  • Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced the Preserving Access to Home Health Act ( S.2137 ) in the U.S. Senate on June 22.

The Michigan attorney general on July 18, 2023, charged 16 people with felonies for participating in a 2020 fake electors scheme to interfere with the Electoral College and overturn their state’s presidential election results.

Key Points: 
  • The Michigan attorney general on July 18, 2023, charged 16 people with felonies for participating in a 2020 fake electors scheme to interfere with the Electoral College and overturn their state’s presidential election results.
  • But versions of the alleged crimes, reportedly set up by Trump’s presidential campaign, also occurred in six other battleground states.
  • The Conversation has covered the nuts and bolts of the Electoral College and the intricacies it involves.

1. All 50 states and Washington, D.C., get electors

    • “The winner of the popular vote in each state gets a certain number of electoral votes, and the candidate who collects at least 270 wins the presidency,” he explained.
    • The number of electoral votes each state gets is partly determined by their total populations.
    • In addition, each state gets two electors to correspond with the U.S. senators they have and one elector for each of their representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives.
    • The same is true for the District of Columbia, which is also guaranteed at least three electoral votes,” Tures wrote.

2. The electors’ role is essential to U.S. presidential elections

    • The presidential election process in the U.S. is intricate and involves a lot of people – and time.
    • As Amy Dacey, who directs an academic research center on politics at American University, wrote, certifying presidential elections in the U.S. is a four-month process.
    • This is how it works: Every four years, Americans vote on the first Tuesday in November to elect a president.
    • At that point, Electoral College electors’ duties are finished until the next presidential election.

3. Congress certifies votes from the Electoral College

    • The presidential election certification process itself concludes during a joint session of Congress in January, when members meet to tally the Electoral College votes.
    • “The Electoral Count Act of 1887 requires Congress to convene and review – rather than simply rubber-stamp – Electoral College results,” he wrote.
    • “To overturn an election result, Congress would have to disqualify enough electoral votes to deprive one candidate of the 270 votes needed to win.
