ELECTION GUIDE
Senate Races Update Source: The Cook Political Report
Current Senate Lineup: 44 Democrats, 54 Republicans, 2 Independents/Other Parties With the Republicans holding a 54-44 majority in the chamber, Democrats would need to gain a net of at least five seats, or four if they retain the White House. Republicans are defending 24 seats to just 10 for Democrats.
House Races Update Source: The Cook Political Report
Current House Lineup: 186 Democrats, 247 Republicans, 2 Vacancies With Republicans holding a 186-247 majority, Democrats would need a net gain of 30 seats to take the majority. Currently, political pundits are predicting a Democratic gain of 5-15 seats with substantially larger gains possible if the top of the GOP ticket appears headed for a landside defeat in November.
ELECTION GUIDE
2016 Pharmacy Visits The NCPA Government Affairs Department works with members of Congress on Capitol Hill every day to educate them on issues important to us. Throughout the year, we hold pharmacy visits with our members and their elected official(s). During these visits, the elected official gets a “behind the scenes” look at daily pharmacy operations. Also, we are able to highlight the important role independent pharmacies play in their communities. When visiting a pharmacy, each member of Congress has a hands-on opportunity to speak with the hosting pharmacies, the staff, and his or her constituents who visit the pharmacy. If you are interested in hosting your member of Congress for a pharmacy visit, please contact Kendal Ann Miller in the Government Affairs Department at
[email protected] or 703-838-2695.
Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fl-8) spoke with 17 independent pharmacists during a roundtable in Sebastian, Fla.

ELECTION GUIDE
Independent community pharmacies are facing many challenges. The Government Affairs staff is busy promoting a pro-pharmacy agenda: creating transparency for generic prescription drug reimbursements in government programs, requiring Medicare Part D and PBMs to report pharmacy price concessions when prescription drugs are dispensed (DIR fees), pushing to include an any willing pharmacy provision in federal programs, and recognizing pharmacists as health care providers under Medicare Part B. While the NCPA team will continue promoting these issues on Capitol Hill, next year will bring with a new President and Administration with their own policy priorities. See how everything from prescription drugs benefits to health care reform to Medicare/Medicaid may be impacted by positions taken by the two major party presidential candidates:
Prescription Drug Costs Clinton/Kaine
Trump/Pence
Prescription Drug Benefits
Cap monthly and annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs; require plans to place a monthly limit of $250 on covered out-of-pocket costs
Nothing specific
Reimportation of Rx Drugs
Yes
Yes
Clinton/Kaine
Trump/Pence
Eligibility Age
Allow retirees age 55 and over to buy into Medicare
No change, but Republican platform calls for “setting a more realistic age for eligibility in light of today’s longer life span”
Allow CMS to Negotiate Drug Prices in Part D
Yes
Yes
Rebates
Require drug makers to provide higher rebates in the Medicare low-income subsidy program, closer to Medicaid levels
No change
Clinton/Kaine
Trump/Pence
Medicaid Expansion
Yes, and provide incentives to states that have not expanded their state programs as envisioned by the ACA
No
Structure of Medicaid
No change
Block-grant Medicaid to the states
Fraud, Waste and Abuse
No change
Provide states incentives to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse
Clinton/Kaine
Trump/Pence
ACA Repeal
No, but expand the law with a government administered “public option” in the insurance exchanges
Yes, and replace with an undefined plan to broaden access to care/insurance, make health care more affordable and improve quality
Affordability
Calls for a new, progressive refundable tax credit of up to $5,000 per family for excessive out-of-pocket costs
Calls for full deductibility of insurance premiums, and for increased access to Health Savings Accounts by decoupling from high-deductible health plans.
Increased Price Transparency
Yes
Yes
Medicare Proposals
Medicaid Proposals
Health Care Reform
ELECTION GUIDE
NCPA PAC Supports a Bipartisan Roster of Candidates The NCPA PAC is proud to support the following candidates who have demonstrated their commitment to our profession, our busi¬nesses, and our patients. These candidates understand the importance of community pharmacy and together they form the foundation of a “Community Pharmacy Majority,” which is necessary for legislative success in Congress. We are encouraging pharmacists, their employees, and patients to support these candidates on or before Nov. 8, and to get involved in their campaigns.
