Upcoming Congressional Hearing
Biden Administration Labor Leadership Updates. On Thursday, April 29, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions (HELP) Committee held a confirmation hearing for
Ms. Jennifer Abruzzo to serve as General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and
Ms. Seema Nanda to serve as Solicitor for the U.S. Department of Labor. In opening remarks, Senate HELP Committee Ranking Member Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) criticized the Biden Administration for what he considers its abrupt and unprecedented firing of NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb, questioning the independence and integrity of the General Counsel’s office after this action. He also expressed concern over Ms. Abruzzo’s involvement in the Agency Review Team for Labor and questioned Ms. Nanda’s “highly partisan” background.

The U.S. House of Representatives is considering dueling proposals related to drug pricing under Medicaid and Medicare, including the Republican-led H.R. 19, the “Lower Costs, More Cures Act of 2021” and a reintroduced version of the Democrat-led “Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act,” originally introduced in 2019 (and hereinafter referred to) as H.R. 3. Although the bills diverge in various material respects, both would implement sweeping changes related to drug coverage and price reporting. At the same time that the House considers these proposals, Senate Democrats are urging President Biden to include major drug pricing legislation in the second phase of his infrastructure plan. The White House has been silent to date on whether drug pricing will be addressed in the next proposed infrastructure package.
