| | | This week, as has been the case with so many weeks, has brought lots of news on the total rewards public policy front. While the big news is in health care reform, there were actually other important issues this week. So let's start with a few of the other items before we plunge back into health care reform. | | Nov 20, 2009 | |
| | | The bailout of Wall Street and the shaky economy still is top of mind for people, as reflected in some recent developments. | | Nov 19, 2009 | |
| | | Last week, I told you about the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Subcommittee hearing on emergency paid leave bills to combat the spread of the swine flu. This week, the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing on the exact same topic. Though the topics were the same, the House hearing focused more specifically on the Emergency Influenza Containment Act (HR 3991), introduced by Chairman George Miller (D-CA) and Rep. Lynne Woolsey (D-CA). | | Nov 18, 2009 | |
| | | There's so much going on having to do with total rewards, but I couldn't help but keep thinking about jobs and the economy. | | Nov 17, 2009 | |
| | | Good Monday morning readers! After a weekend spent drying out from the effects of Tropical Storm Ida, it seems that we have a deluge of all kinds of total rewards news this morning. So let's get started. | | Nov 16, 2009 | |
| | | After the House passed their version of the health care reform bill, Congress spent time at home this week in honor of veterans day but didn't stop discussing health care reform. | | Nov 13, 2009 | |
| | | The paid leave debate in Congress has been given a not so polite nudge by the current H1N1 pandemic. While the Healthy Families Act has been circulating in Congress for a few years, the current flu outbreak has lawmakers scrambling for a way to contain its effects. Their solution? Emergency paid leave bills. | | Nov 12, 2009 | |
| | | Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) introduced his version of regulatory reform, a discussion draft called the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2009. While no Republican Committee members have co-sponsored the draft, Dodd has indicated he¿s hopeful it will be a bipartisan bill. | | Nov 11, 2009 | |
| | | Yesterday Carrie blogged on health care and mentioned that the action is moving to the Senate. While it was a close vote in the House, the vote for health care -- or, more accurately, to end debate on health care -- will be even more difficult. | | Nov 10, 2009 | |
| | | In an historic weekend turn of events, the US House of Representatives passed, on a mostly party line vote, their version of health care reform. This is the first time that either chamber has passed a significant health care reform bill since Medicare was passed in 1965. | | Nov 9, 2009 | |
