“We’re keeping patients independent and healthier at home for longer.”

At a Ways and Means hearing on the benefits of health care at home, Medicare patients who receive athome care shared their stories of how both their health and quality of life have improved. Under the currently temporary Hospital at Home and telehealth flexibilities granted by Congress, millions of patients are now benefitting from the convenience of getting health care in their home. Because rural, remote, and underserved areas largely lack adequate health care services, Americans living in these communities can greatly benefit from expanded health care at home.

The witnesses who provide at-home, virtual care testified to the difference it has made for their patients –fewer emergency room and inpatient visits, and improved vital signs, to name a few. For diseases and illnesses where at-home care is possible, witnesses drew the connection between quality in-person and at-home care: in-person care is vital to setting the right treatments that patients can safely administer at home.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) asked Ms Maddux to share how the at-home care impacted her quality of life.

The Biden Tax Hike Will Likely Exceed $7 Trillion

President Biden’s Budget Shows He Will Let Middle Class Tax Cuts Expire

Hidden inside President Biden’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget is the revelation that he will increase taxes by a whopping $7 trillion, thanks to a range of tax increases and the expiration of Republicans’ 2017 tax reform Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) outlined a list of the biggest tax increases, saying:

“President Biden’s $7 trillion tax increase on small businesses and families means fewer jobs, higher prices, and handing our competitive advantage to China. Far from going after the wealthy, these are tax hikes that hit workers, mom-and-pop business owners, seniors nearing retirement, and family farms and ranches. And with the IRS getting another $104 billion and an expanded ability to approve penalties, Democrats will be on the fast track to collect your life savings.”

The Details:

President Biden Quietly Pledges to Let Trump Tax Cuts Expire

Even as the President claims he will not allow the middle-class tax cuts in the 2017 tax reform to expire, his budget fails to show any plan to stop the increases and spends as though they don’t exist anymore

That’s approximately $2 trillion in new taxes on top of the nearly $5 trillion explicitly included in this budget

Sending Jobs and Companies Overseas with Higher Business Taxes than China

Increasing the corporate tax rate to one of the highest in the world would put America at a disadvantage in attracting investment and jobs

As much as 75 percent of the burden of corporate tax increases falls on American workers and consumers in the form of lower wages and higher prices according to recent economic studies

Global Tax Surrender Allows Foreign Governments to Take American Tax Dollars

President Biden’s global tax surrender to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) sends American tax dollars to foreign governments and entities, while failing to hold China accountable

Analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) finds that under Pillar 2, the United States stands to lose over $120 billion in tax revenues to foreign nations And under the current OECD Pillar 1 proposal, according to JCT analysis of tax year 2021, American companies earned 70 percent of the profits that would have been subject to reallocation and taxation by other foreign nations, and the U.S. would have lost up to $4.4 billion in tax revenue to them.

A Second Death Tax Even Though You Only Die Once

President Biden’s proposal to raise the top rate to 39.6 percent goes after small business owners who pay their business taxes via their individual tax return – despite his pledge not to raise taxes on small businesses.

A Tax on Wealth You Haven’t Even Earned Yet

Democrats want to tax the “unrealized gains” of assets, a long-sought priority of progressives such as Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders

Under President Biden’s budget, Americans at the end of their careers – who have reached their highest earning level just before retirement – or those who have built up a business over a lifetime but not sold it, could be hit with a so-called wealth tax that would be an additional 25 percent on those assets These are not the super-wealthy, but people who have worked a full lifetime and earned their retirement

Charging tax before an asset is sold runs counter to how income taxation works under our Constitution; the proposal would require Americans to declare to the IRS the value of their home, business, and personal assets on an annual basis to be levied a new tax bill Hurting Americans’ Retirement Funds

Democrats’ budget calls to raid the retirements of those with successful careers, capping the retirement plan benefits of certain individuals Going After the Sweat Equity of Small Business Owners

Democrats call for another $104 3 billion to the agency, on top of the massive pay raise given to the IRS by congressional Democrats in 2022, and expand the ranks of those who have authority to approve penalties – regardless of the merits of those penalties President Biden is essentially reneging on the bipartisan agreement he made with Republicans in the Fiscal Responsibility Act to rescind part of the original $80 billion pay raise provided to the agency by congressional Democrats in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

Newsmax, DIRECTV Finalize Renewal

Programming to Resume on DIRECTV, DIRECTV Stream And U-verse

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. and BOCA RATON, Fla., March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DIRECTV and Newsmax Media, Inc. announced today that they reached a business agreement for a multi-year distribution deal that will return the Newsmax channel to DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM and U-verse on March 23, 2023

When the two companies were initially unable to agree on financial terms to extend their carriage agreement, DIRECTV lost the rights to distribute the programming on January 25, 2023. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence in the pay TV industry, and often consumers are caught in the middle.

"Newsmax recognizes and appreciates that DIRECTV clearly supports diverse voices, including conservative ones," said Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax. "As a standalone company, DIRECTV helped give Newsmax its start nearly a decade ago as it continues to do with upcoming news networks, which is why we are pleased to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that will deliver our network to DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM and U-verse customers over the next several years "

"This resolution with Newsmax, resolving an all-too-common carriage dispute, underscores our dedication to delivering a wide array of programming and perspectives to our customers," said Bill Morrow, CEO of DIRECTV "Through our persistent negotiations, we reached a resolution under mutually-agreeable business terms allowing us to deliver the conservative news network at the right value – a reflection of the free market at work."

Newsmax will be available on DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM and U-verse at no additional cost to customers, rejoining the now expanded and diversified news lineup which includes six 24/7 news networks –CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Newsmax, NewsNation, and The First.

This agreement marks DIRECTV's latest successful resolution of a carriage dispute, an unfortunate but increasingly frequent occurrence involving nearly every pay TV and streaming provider attempting to keep rising consumer costs in check. Over the past five years alone, the industry has endured no less than 140 distinct disputes pitting programmers or station groups against their primary distributors. While some resolve in as little as a few hours to days or weeks, others last several months to more than a year. During that same timeframe, DIRECTV has resolved public disputes with approximately 50 programmers or station groups, typically lasting a few days or weeks, but routinely extending to several months in some instances
