The American Farm Bureau Federation is encouraging farmers and ranchers to take advantage of the August recess to advocate for agriculture. Micheal Clements shares more. Thomas Capps: Things are farley quiet in our nation's capital – as law makers are back in their home states for the August recess. But as Michael Clements reminds us – now is the perfect time to take of advantage of the recess and advocate for agriculture. Clements: Lawmakers from the House and Senate are on the annual August recess and back in their respective districts and states. Tom Donnelly, American Farm Bureau Federation Director of Grassroots Program Development, says lawmakers will spend that time hearing from voters. Donnelly: So, it's a great time for farmers and ranchers to meet with and communicate with lawmakers. This year is especially important since Congress is working to reauthorize the Farm Bill. And we've been encouraging our members and all farmers and ranchers to make sure that they take advantage of the August recess and discuss the merits of the Farm Bill, how it has helped them over the last five years and what changes would make it better going forward. Clements: He says there are several ways to do so. Donnelly: If you don't know who your lawmaker is, you can easily go to FB.org/lookup, enter your street address and your zip code, and that will show you who your lawmakers are. Make sure you sign up for a lawmaker's e-newsletter, that way you'll be informed when they're back in town, and you can even sign up for a town hall meeting and visit a county fair when they're there, and you can always schedule a meeting with lawmakers' staff. Also, don't forget to offer the opportunity to visit your farm or ranch. Clements: Donnelly says forming a relationship with lawmakers can set farmers or ranchers up to be a resource for those elected officials well into the future. Donnelly: And when they get active, when they engage on a legislative or regulatory issue, their voices are heard. That's the importance of grassroots advocacy to get out there, meet with your lawmakers, tell them what's going on in your town, in your district, in your county, at your farm, at your ranch, and make sure that they hear the agriculture voice. Clements: Visit FB.org/advocacy to learn more. Micheal Clements, Washington. Thomas Capps: A good reminder that your voice is just a powerful as anyone else's.For Tennessee Home and farm radio, I'm Thomas Capps

If a bill goes before Congress and you never told members how their actions will impact you, how confident are you that they will vote in your favor? As two people living with Multiple Sclerosis, this isn't a chance we're willing to take. This is why we continue to advocate for ourselves – plus the nearly 1 million other Americans who have MS – and the reason we encourage other people (like you!) to get involved. There is no better time to connect with your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives than when they are back in their home districts during August recess. And through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's advocacy efforts, we have two issues – one relating to accessible air travel and one to reform access to prescription drugs – to bring to their attention. Join us for this episode of A Couple Takes on MS Podcast as we delve into the details of these issues, stress the importance of MS activism, and demonstrate how easy it is for you to get involved as an MS activist. Action items we will take to our legislators after we schedule meetings with them or their in-district legislative aides are to: Address barriers to air travel accessibility by including provisions in the 2023 FAA Reauthorization that address access standards and the DOT's complaints process for people with disabilities. Pass comprehensive pharmacy benefit manager reform this year that improves access to treatments that people need. To help get you fired up about advocacy, we open the episode reading an excerpt from Jennifer's Op Ed piece, Why Congress must pick up where the ADA got grounded with airline accessibility, that appeared in the Morning Sun newspaper. Here are the links we reference for you to follow up on: • Jennifer's Op Ed: Airline accessibility is an equal rights issue – Read the full text of Jennifer's Op Ed essay. • Barriers to air travel accessibility fact sheet – Details about the importance of addressing this issue. • Pharmacy Benefit Manager informational fact sheet – Background about why this legislation is needed • Become an MS activist – Get specifics on how you can get involves with the National MS Society as an MS activist

The Senate HELP Committee's discussion draft legislation remains a top priority for NAHU as we formally submitted feedback to their proposal to require broker compensation disclosure and options for addressing surprise billing disputes. That legislation comes as lawmakers from both parties put forth competing ideas on how to fix balance billing, with Congress aiming to pass a consensus bill before their August Recess. On this week's episode, NAHU's Marcy M. Buckner and Chris Hartmann discuss these legislative efforts and the comments that we submitted to the committee for incorporation into the updated version that is expected to be released ahead of the Independence Day holiday. They also give an update on the status of several other issues that continue to move through Congress, including an update on Medicare-for-All and where state efforts stand to implement single-payer or similar programs.

The Senate HELP Committee’s discussion draft legislation remains a top priority for NAHU as we formally submitted feedback to their proposal to require broker compensation disclosure and options for addressing surprise billing disputes. That legislation comes as lawmakers from both parties put forth competing ideas on how to fix balance billing, with Congress aiming to pass a consensus bill before their August Recess.

Buckner and Chris Hartmann discuss these legislative efforts and the comments that we submitted to the committee for incorporation into the updated version that is expected to be released ahead of the Independence Day holiday.

The Trump Administration released their association health plan (AHP) and short-term plan (STP) final rules this summer in the promise of providing lower cost healthcare options. But many states have provided a lukewarm response, at best, while others have suggested outright banning these policies. On this week's episode, NAHU's Vice President of Government Affairs Marcy M. Buckner provides an update on where states are landing on the new federal rules and the resources that are available exclusively to NAHU members to keep track of them. Marcy also provides an update on the Trump Administration's statements that implied an expanded role for navigators to enroll consumers in AHPs and STPs and how NAHU worked with the administration on clarifying their role. The podcast also looks at what's at stake over the coming oral arguments challenging the constitutionality of the ACA's individual mandate and consumer protections, as well as a look at what's on tap for Congress when it returns from its August Recess after the Labor Day holiday.

The podcast also discusses NAHU's 2018 August recess talking points, as well as specific topics to keep in mind when you are meeting with your legislator's in-district this summer.
