I am writing to urge you to support Senate Bill 119, which aims to protect the pharma-funded drug discount program from the harmful restrictions imposed by the pharmaceutical industry. This program provides much-needed relief to individuals who cannot afford their medications, but the pharmaceutical industry has been placing harmful restrictions on it, limiting its effectiveness. Passing Senate Bill 119 will ensure that the pharma-funded drug discount program remains accessible to those in need. This will help to address the growing issue of rising healthcare costs and will ensure that people can continue to receive the medications they need to maintain their health and well-being. Here at New Horizons Healthcare, we are already seeing the effects of the current limitations placed by the drug manufacturers. Some patients are unable to get their provider-prescribed medications and have to either wait, try to find another suitable medication, or not have their prescriptions filled at all. This situation can and most likely will result in more adverse effects, especially for those who already have chronic conditions. I urge you to consider the positive impact that Senate Bill 119 will have on the lives of many individuals. By supporting this bill, you will be taking a step towards ensuring that everyone has access to affordable medications. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please vote YES on SB238. Contraception isn't just for preventing baby-making -- it's used to treat a host of medical conditions, including incredibly painful ones like endometriosis. Family planning is also crucial in ensuring people's economic prosperity and freedom. Virginians deserve to have no-copay access to proven, safe methods of contraception through their health insurance.

The League of Women Voters of Virginia supports SB 238. We believe that contraceptives should be accessible to all and that individuals should be able to decide if contraceptives are right for them, not insurance companies. Having financial support without unnecessary expenses out of their pockets such as co-pays, financial delays, and costly or delayed reimbursements, would help families utilize contraception without barriers. Additionally, according to the U.S government data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) contraceptives are not just prescribed as a form of birth control, but are also used, especially by young people, for helping to reduce menstrual cramps, and addressing other medical conditions. We urge you to vote yes on SB 238

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) respectfully opposes SB 274, which would create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board tasked with reviewing prescription drug costs and setting upper payment limits for specified prescription drugs. Government price controls like those proposed by this bill are an especially drastic action with unpredictable consequences. While the intent of this bill is to lower drug prices, we fear SB 274 will fail to bring down costs for consumers or institutions and instead disincentivize development of new therapeutic breakthroughs.

On behalf of the Virginia Association of Hematologists and Oncologists (VAHO) and the Association of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), I am submitting comments on S 274, attached. Thank you!

The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit research and advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, is submitting the attached written testimony to share our concerns that a Virginia Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) may only serve to impede the progress toward achieving health care equity for all Virginians.

Honorable Members of the Virginia Legislature, The Alliance for Health Innovation (Alliance) is a group of diverse cross-sector stakeholders that together represent patients, providers, caregivers, academia, biopharmaceutical innovators, and business communities. Led by the Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA), the Alliance is committed to establishing the importance of innovation in achieving healthy aging and advocates for state policy solutions that support a thriving innovation sector that enables Virginians and other communities to live longer – and healthier – lives. We write to share our deep concerns about the potentially devastating impact of the newly proposed Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) on patients living in Virginia.

Please vote for SB 373. Virginia's families need paid family leave! Paid family leave is good for families, communities, and local economies.

Vote YES on SB 373 Everyone will, at some point in time, have to take time away from work to care for a loved one. They should not be forced to face economic uncertainty and insecurity to do so. Providing access to paid sick leave for Virginia’s workers would allow them to maintain economic security and ensure a healthier, more productive workforce in the Commonwealth.

We are in support of SB 393 for diversity on Corporate boards. In according to the Russell Reynolds Associates, consultants indicate that "a board needs to constantly challenge itself to keep pace with the changing dynamics of company faces". A diverse board will assist in decision making of bring a wide perspective "out of the box" solutions to resolve any problem that may exist. . The inclusion will brings fresh ideas, and those ideas can improve the overall return on equity. It is a moral decision to bring change, and display the value of globalization to reflect in the world, that we see today. Therefore, FCDC Women's group, supports SB 393 and vote YES to support this bill. Thank you!

Hello, I'm Brenda Root and I'm writing to support gender-balanced and diverse corporate boards SB393 would add another factor for the MEI Commission to consider in approving incentives for companies to locate to Virginia. Similar bills have been proposed or passed in 13 other states, in both Democratic and Republican legislatures – and such legislation makes sense for Virginia as well. The most profitable companies in the U.S. have boards that are similarly gender-balanced and diverse. Gender balanced and diverse boards are able to marshal a wider range of ideas, skills and knowledge to sustain corporate growth. They more appropriately reflect their investors, their customers, and their employees. Studies have shown that companies with gender-balanced and diverse boards carry less debt, are less risk averse, have improved stock performance, and have higher employee retention rates. This bill imposes no mandate, as it only adds another factor for the Commission to consider in evaluating companies that ask for tax breaks, and it will add no line item in the budget. Note that NASDAQ requires corporate boards to be diverse for a company to be listed on their exchange, and Goldman Sachs will not facilitate an Initial Public Offering from a company that does not have a diverse board. What is good for the nation's top tier companies is also good for Virginia. Thank you for the work you do on behalf of the citizens of Virginia.

Gender and Diversity are important to our business markets. Our markets are changing due to the consumer power of these two groups. It is gender and diverse groups who will be able to identify these markets so that companies can be successful in the 21st century. Additionally, it is gender balance & diverse groups who have the necessary IT skills to identify these markets in a rapidly changing environment. Moreover, gender-balance and diverse groups will be able to solve the issues related to corporate investments, customer satisfaction and employee engagement. Below is a link for the NASDAQ ruling stating that the NASDAQ will not list your company on their exchange if a company does not have diverse boards. https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/nasdaq/2020/34-90574-ex5.pdf SB393 is a bill that is good for business.

We appreciate the changes Sen. Aird made to SB480. They addressed many of our concerns. One area we did not agree on concerns the amount of time before a utility can disconnect a residential customer for non-payment. The bill roughly doubles that time to 60 days in arrearage. This will mean a cost shift among customers and could result in higher electric rates since we expect the bill to significantly increase arrearages and bad debt. For this reason, we do not support the legislation.
